"We hired Drew to play at our wedding this past fall. We met Drew previously from the Harris Teeter Tavern in Nexton. Every time he played there, he had us singing along. He is an awesome guitarist and also a great harmonica player too. His voice accompanies many songs perfectly and even better when he pulls out the harmonica. If you like a wide range of music from new or old I recommend hiring him for your next event. You and your guests won’t be disappointed!"

"Brilliant night at the Brewery Tap. (Long may it survive). And long may Harmonica Lewinsky and his musical colleagues survive. Chas and Dave's Margate had the whole pub rockin' and almost rollin, The mixture of Cockney and Elvis (Costello and Presley) went down a treat. A great night was had by all."

"Before seeing this show I had heard many rumours about Harmonica Lewinsky, whose background was shrouded in mystery, although I believe he learned his harmonica skills in the Deep South in the deltas of Harrow on the Hill under the tutelage of Blind Les Battersby. But, it was a very different character to the one I expected who performed at the posh Victoria pub in Highgate! Mr Lewinsky, looking like a cross between a rabbi and one-half of Chas 'n Dave (I'm not sure which half) appeared in cloth cap and braces and presented a highly original selection of songs, some of which rarely see the light of day. There were no predictable “Brown Eyed Girls” or “Mustang Sally’s” here: instead - a veritable feast of the unexpected - as we witnessed one man, his guitar and his trusty harps. When was the last time you heard a pub act kick off his set with Chas 'n Dave's “The Sideboard Song” and follow it with the Theme to “Top Cat” and then offerings of cheery, chirpy Cockney ditties including “Waiting At The Church,” “Maybe It's Because I'm A Londoner”, “Show Me The Way To Go Home” and Tommy Steele's “What A Mouth”? I’m guessing the answer to that question is ‘rarely’ (if ever) but the fun didn't stop there. Mr Harmonica Man is a really great entertainer and demonstrated, with great finesse, his harmonica technique on - wait for it - the Shadows' “Apache”! It was quite a feat playing the melody on the harp while strumming his guitar. ‘Harmy’, as he is known to his close friends (or 'Self-Harmy‘ to others) also tackled in the first half the theme to "The Flintstones"; Elvis Costello's catchy “Watching The Detectives” and the Cockney knees-up “I've Got A Lovely Bunch Of Coconuts”. Harmy was back in terrific Pearly King form for the second half starting with “Any Old Iron” followed by a touch of the Formbys with “Leaning On A Lamppost” after which he did a ‘Donegan’ with a riotous version of “My Old Man's A Dustman” complete with enthusiastic audience participation. Mr Lewinsky has a great sense of humour, which he constantly shares with the Victoria regulars. "Here's another Cockney classic sung by a Welsh man", quipped Harmy before diving into “Delilah.” Other gems included the theme tune to ‘Match Of The Day’ (played on two harmonicas); a very funny and risque interpretation of Mike Jerome's “Sling Yer Hook”; a great version of the Small Faces' mod anthem “Lazy Sunday”; and a yahoo rendition of the old country favourite “Riders In The Sky”. After many encores Mr Lewinsky packed away his cap and braces and headed off to the Deep South (of London) for some pie and mash. The Victoria would do well to snap up Harmy for some more gigs before he hop-foots it down the Strand for a residency at the Old Bull and Bush!"

"Luís was hired for a surprise proposal. He was part of the surprise and played in a chapel in Palácio da Penha in Sintra city with his harmonica and guitar. His interpretation of Bob Dylan and the Beatles' song was fantastic. The bride said yes ❤️"

"Drew Marler's musical style is a homogeneous mixture of the solo troubadour sounds of Dylan, and Young, the power of Nirvana and Janes Addiction, the soul of Al Green and Marvin Gaye, the improvisation of jazz and jam, psychedelic experimentation, and intricately woven harmonies, but it is always deeply rooted with the folk, blues heritage.” ( Washington, Ga. newspaper )"
