"Harmonica Lewinsky, half musician, half comedian, can't be filed easily under any one genre. There are no "rawk" anthems or jangly pop toons to guide you to a familiar sense of comfy numbness you may well be used to in your local music venue. Instead, you get a proper show. Someone - that's Phil Leiwy, crazy alchemist of alter-ego Lewinsky - has taken it upon himself to create a crisp set of upbeat, rhythmic gems played on guitar (choppy, jazzy, mellow), vocals (smooth, welcoming) and of course, a boxload of harmonicas (swanky, tuneful, engaging). But words alone seem unable to explain why, after a HL gig, you go home feeling as if you have been crane-lifted out of a ditch... If you haven't seen HL play, go and see for yourself, and let the performance into your life. Careful listening really helps: the lyrics to many of Phil's songs - including Gordon Brown (to the tune of the Stranglers' "Golden Brown") - are wry, clever and occasionally rude. Lovers of X-Factor stability or other social brainwashing techniques may leave feeling confused."

"Jack was really fantastic at our event. He was very easy to deal with before, giving me a call a few days before to finalise details. He turned up on time, was very little effort to look after, and played some excellent music throughout, just the right vibe for a relaxed afternoon party. I should have pressed him to take more of a break, because I think he just kept on playing, beyond the timings we booked him for. Overall, he was really excellent & made a huge difference to our event, with lots of the guests commenting on how much they liked him."

"Gilles Gary brought exactly the right atmosphere to my 30th birthday celebration. His live music was warm, joyful and personal, and it made the event feel truly special. He adapted very naturally to the setting and the guests, creating a beautiful balance between relaxed ambiance and meaningful presence. I highly recommend him for private events."

"I booked Ben through this website as I loved his voice and his skills as a guitarist. His sound was just what I was looking for for my wedding in May. He is fast to respond to queries and is extremely good value. He played 2x sets for us, one for the drinks reception and one during the wedding breakfast. You could listen to people talking easily whilst having Ben play in the background. His playlist was spot on and so many of my guests commented on how lovely it was listening to him sing. He does a lot of pub gigs in and around Lichfield so definitely go and see him! I would highly recommend!"

"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!"

"Andrew was very friendly and flexible when it came to the venue, the restaurant staff and the guests. We particularly loved how he sang with one of the guests. Everyone was thrilled! Everyone thought he was a great musician! He was recommended to others straight away! We can’t recommend Andrew highly enough! Thank you so much, dear Andrew. It was lovely having you there!"

"Ant answered the call to perform an online live stream gig for members, volunteers and staff of Chilterns MS Centre. To say he was a hit would be an understatement, with instant requests for him to play again, and positive comments coming from all involved. He took special requests with one being particularly poignant as one member missed out on a Bryan Adams concert because of the lock down!"

"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."
