"WOW! Its very difficult to describe a musician in words, but what i can say is that David was far better than i ever expected. EVERYONE single one of our guests commented on how well David sung. We didn't choose any songs for David to play, i just told him to go with the flow. I had organised for David to play for 4 hours, we actually asked him to stay for longer as the atmosphere was perfect. Unfortunately David couldn't stay longer has he was already booked for the rest of the evening. I am now desperately trying to think of another party i can host JUST so that he can play to all of us again! I cannot recommend David enough. Many thanks for the AMAZING afternoon you helped create.

"Harmie brought his full Cockney repertoire to the cavernous Cavalier pub in Whetstone and he had to fight his way through the crowds to get to the stage, arriving with his guitar, a collection of harmonicas, his cloth cap and braces and a mug of jellied eels. This was a real Cockney knees-up evening for the regulars, who included in their midst the Pearly King and Queen of Purley, or was it Finchley? Kicking off with Chas 'n Dave's raucous toe-tapper, "The Sideboard Song" the cheeky chappie tackled a lovely bunch of Cockney ditties, including Tommy Steele's showstopper, "What A Mouth"; an entertaining version of the old Billy Cotton (now there was a good old Cockney) number, "The Marrow Song"; and the singalong tunes, "Maybe It's Because I'm A Londoner", "Show Me The Way To Go Home", "Meet Me At The Church" and the tasty, "Hot Meat Pie, Saveloys And Trotters". Highlights of the first set were Harmie's harmonica-led rendition of the Shadows' classic instrumental, "Apache" and, following a request from a punter, a countryfied version of "What Made Milwaukee Famous", which was part made famous by Rod Stewart. The lovable Cockney character was in humorous form too calling for 'security' when a man approached him for a request, and in telling the audience: "As this is Whetstone I thought we ought to do a song about infidelity," before launching into Gene Pitney's, "24 Hours From Tulsa", complete with harp solo. The second set brought more Cockney treats with Bernard Cribbins' "Right Said Fred"; Mike Jerome's clever, "Sling Yer Hook" and Chas and Dave's weepie, "Ain't No Pleasing You". The audience were loving Harmie by now, but soon he had to battle his way through the masses again to get to the Harmie-mobile and a trip home to the Old Kent Road."

"A huge thank you Paul, for keeping us entertained all evening with your brilliant varied repertoire and friendly banter. Also, thanks very much for the songs you improvised for us towards the end of a great evening. Paul is a very talented singer/guitarist, and able to adapt his great voice to so many different styles of song, giving some great entertainment. I would highly recommend Paul for all types of event and would happily have Paul play again for us some time in the future. Thanks Paul."

"Oh my goodness. Matt is AMAZING!! We knew from the first videos we watched that he would be amazing for our wedding! We managed to go to one of his gigs before the wedding and were blown away - and so excited for him to perform on our day! He was great at chatting through stuff with us beforehand and accommodating our request for our first dance, which he learnt specially and even suggested some ways to elevate it! At we expected, Matt was incredible on the day! Both sets he played were amazing and all our guests raved about how brilliant he was. We would 100% recommend Matt again and again!"

"‘A fantastic group of talented Irish musicians! Trad Union made everything hassle-free for Day Two of our wedding and were very pleasant to deal with. We knew our Irish family would love them and our friends/ family from all over the world commented on how wonderful it was to hear beautiful traditional music. It was a great way to kickstart our second day of celebrations. Thank you, lads! Stacey & Jason - Headfort Arms Hotel "

"Saw Romy B play a gig in Canberra on the 27th and i wish she was a local! She is very attentive to the audience and her stage presence is second to none. Next time she is in town i will definitely book her for a gig at my venue :)"

"Amazing, Heartfelt Performer I’ve seen Dennis perform several times now, and each time I’m struck by how intimate and heartfelt his performance is. He truly connects with the people he performs for, and makes every event one to remember!"

We were enormously grateful for their commitment and energy which greatly enhanced our event. They were wonderful to work with, friendly and passionate about what they do. We would highly recommend them. "
