"Great performer for our backyard party Ian was great from the minute we booked until after our event. He was really receptive to song requests and ideas, went with the flow, and did a really nice job. Ian was early to set up and was completely professions. Everyone had fun and enjoyed the music, and he even let us sing along. I would definitely hire him again."

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An unforgettable and deeply moving experience / thank you, Kirsty! Right from the start, Kirsty’s communication and organisation were excellent. She was warm, professional, and incredibly accommodating. She not only helped us choose the perfect setlist, but also included songs that held a special meaning for us and even took the time to learn a song by a Polish artist especially for the occasion. That kind of dedication truly reflects her talent and professionalism. We couldn’t have been happier with the evening. Kirsty’s voice, her presence, and the emotion she brought to each performance created an atmosphere that was simply magical. It was a truly special moment for us, her music moved us to tears and brought back beautiful memories from our younger years. Thank you again, Kirsty. We’re so grateful and we hope this won’t be the last of our unforgettable evenings together!"

"The guys were amazing, the venue was hard to find but their communication was spot on and when they arrived the set up quickly with no fuss and they were off! Playing crowd pleasing singalong festival style songs that fitted in to our barn venue, everybody is still talking about their performance a week later, thanks guys, highly recommend you to anyone!"

"I have to admit that before the St Leonard's Festival I had never even heard of Tania Pieri, so I didn't know what to expect when she walked out on to the stage with her amazing bright red hair. There were a couple of technical hitches at the start (their fault, not hers!), but she handled them calmly and professionally. Tania is a great all round performer, I really enjoyed her singing, playing and dancing. Even after her performance she was out in the crowd supporting the other acts, something that is sadly quite rare these days. This may have been my first time at a performance by Tania Pieri, but I definitely hope it's not my last and will keep listening out for other events she will be involved with. Very highly recommended!"

"Bruddah Vince created the ambience for the party! He was accommodating as he moved from one area to the next (following the crowd and re setting up his equipment). Everyone loved him!"

"Coordinated with Ricky who arranged to have Uncle Jack play at our Luau in east Long Beach (near CSULB). This was a small group (9) so there was no need for amplifiers, speakers, etc. Jack was the ideal player: he arrived early, played wonderful low-key background music while we dined and he ramped it up as we enjoyed his playing after dining but before diving into dessert. Jack was everything we asked for: personable, he interacted with our guests warmly, answered questions about the ukelele and Hawaiian music, gave us a wonderful blend of "old, original" Hawaiian style music and the newest iterations of the genre. like "Jawaiian"-style. He was most generous with his time. We could tell that he truly enjoyed playing this traditional music which he grew up with and it showed. He "felt" and genuinely "was" the music ... he was not someone who just learned a few chords and melodies and sang. If you are planning on Hawaiian-style entertainment for any event, I highly, highly recommend Uncle Jack."

"Pali was absolutely incredible and truly elevated our wedding day. He arrived early, fully prepared and he worked effortlessly with the venue team to get set up smoothly. We gave him a very minimal brief, yet he completely understood the vibe we were after and nailed it. His music was the perfect backdrop for our beach wedding. It was relaxed, soulful, and effortlessly coastal. Every set he played created such a joyful, sun-soaked atmosphere that matched the setting perfectly. So many of our guests commented on how amazing the music was. On top of all that, he’s a lovely, polite, and professional guy. We couldn’t be happier. Thank you Paly for making our big day extra special! 11/10!"
