"My wife and I saw 2Shay on a cruise recently and our opinion they were the best musical group on the cruise. She's a great singer, and he's a great guitarist, and together they were very entertaining. "

"LCQ couldn't have been better for our wedding ceremony. They played a wide variety of music, and all of it utterly beautifully. I can't recommend them highly enough for any event; they're absolutely terrific, and you won't regret working with them."

"Last night I met up with some pals down at the very hospitable Mermaid Inn to check out the latest musical venture of the great Harmonica Lewinsky. We’ve always been highly entertained by his music hall/cockney act and indeed his 60s/70s cover material, but this was to be something of a completely different flavour – a country/ western swing experience! Launching into ‘Glendale Train’, Lewinsky and his band, The Highway Patrol, soon had the place rocking. The sound of finger pickin’ Dzal Martin’s Telecaster was the perfect accompaniment and upright bass player Ewan Penkey’s rhythm proved that no drummer was required. As well as rockers such as ‘Panama Red’, ‘Folsom Prison Blues’ and the brilliant tongue-twisting ‘Hot Rod Lincoln’, Lewinsky and the boys were also able to deliver truly 'hurtin' & heartbreaking' melancholy classics such as Warren Zevon’s ‘Carmelita’ and Kenny Rogers’ ‘Ruby’. Their touching version of Commander Cody’s ‘Seeds & Stems Blues’, featuring the wonderful pedal-steel guitar playing of John Davis, (who had been impeccable all evening) had me almost crying into my pretzels. Personality and humour has always been an important part of Harmonica Lewinsky’s act and, with his usual banter and rapport, he certainly didn’t let us down. We particularly enjoyed the tongue-in cheek ‘All My Exes Live in Texas’. Thanks for a great night, boys – we look forward to the next time."

"We have had Jim play at multiple parties for us and he is always an absolute professional and a dream to deal with. His repertoire is huge and he covers such a range of genres that he appeals to everyone no matter what age or music taste. Whether you book him for an acoustic afternoon set, an upbeat evening set or book with the Fuzz Junkies you're sure to have an unforgettable party that people will be talking about for a long time afterward!

"Amazing entertainer from start to finish! We booked Ed as our Crooner for my mom’s 80th birthday/retirement party. He was friendly, professional, and responsive from the start. Whether we needed help with last minute details or announcement we asked to add, Ed was very accommodating during the event. This made us feel at ease knowing that our event was in capable hands. He exceeded our expectations, ensuring everyone was entertained, from the grand entrance to the end of the event. Ed was also fantastic at reading the room and tailoring the tunes to cater to the guests. He kept our guests entertained and the dance floor lively. He truly went above and beyond to make our special day memorable. If you're looking for a Crooner for your event, I can't recommend Ed highly enough! "

"Great blend of well-known music with some originals. They really connected with the audience and had an easy way about them in communicating with the crowd. They were very comfortable in our setting and I would recommend them to anyone."
