"Had a rocking great night with Denis doing his live show and Denis on the decks for my partners 60th birthday party in the garden. Denis was punctual and professional as usual and everybody have come back to me saying what a great night was had by all. No small thanks to Denis playing 6 hours. We had him for her 50th now 60th and always great entertainment. Sheldon Moss, Wednesday 24 September 2025"

"What a great afternoon spent with Phil Harmonica Lewinsky, it exceeded my expectation. Loved his wit and humour. It was fantastic singing along with all the old cockney songs & Chas n Dave's. .. such a great atmosphere and fun... so uplifting that it even carried me through Monday too just thinking about it and I couldn't get some of the songs out of my head all day Monday ... Rabbit Rabbit... Been to Margate.. and .. I'm Henry 8th I am... !!! . Will definately be going along to another gig again soon. Nice one Harmonica Lewinsky and lovely friend pub too."

"Jeff Tucker was simply amazing. From the day I booked him, he provided the utmost professionalism. He responded quickly to all emails and phone calls, and is honestly one of the nicest people I have ever met. He went above and beyond by introducing the wedding party and learning any song we specially requested. A number of guests at my wedding, including veteran musicians, asked where I found such a talent and how to book him for their events. I look forward to booking him again in the future for any and all events. I highly recommend Jeff and just can't say enough good things about him. Well done!!!"

"This was Phil's third visit to the Hammer as Harmonica Lewinsky. He never fails to entertain the locals with his cockney act and great humour. As the landlord of the Hammer I can honestly say this guy is amazing and really great value...so much so we have booked Phil to return again for St. Georges day celebrations on Sunday 26th april."

"Armed with a whole case of Blues Harps and one or two trusty Guitars, Harmonica always provides a brilliant few hours of musical entertainment. He's become a firm favourite in the Cole household and we aren't ashamed to say we've become groupies, following him across London to venues just like this. He seems to have an almost infinite amount of songs in his repertoire, ranging from Cockney classics to Country ballads and lots more besides. Your feet begin to tap the moment he starts his set and by the end you've normally ground a hole into the pub carpet! Thoroughly recommended!"

"Denis Cook is the perfect pub and bar-room entertainer: genial, charming and chatty with a charismatic personality, so it's not surprising that the sumptuous Haven Wine Bar & Restaurant in Whetstone booked Denis for several gigs, since he's the ideal 'mine host' for this exclusive venue, encouraging the guests to join in and have a fun time. With many strings to his bow, in addition to singing Denis plays guitar, mandolin, ukulele, harmonica and kazoo, but his greatest claim to fame is that he taught his nephew Norman Cook, alias Fatboy Slim, to DJ! (Denis has been 'spinning discs' since 1969 and the young Norman was soon hooked on music too!) Though perhaps not the greatest instrumentalist to perform on stage, Denis more than makes up for this with his highly tuneful singing voice, careful selection of material and infectious personality. Skill and experience gained through years of DJing shines through in Denis's easy command of banter between numbers, putting many other pub acts to shame, and his sheer dedication to entertaining others certainly evidenced in this three-hour gig undertaken with hardly a break. Starting with the Eagles' country ditty "Peaceful Easy Feeling" and a stripped-down version of the Foundations' "Baby Now That I've Found You" guests knew they were in for something special, loving the laid-back, peaceful easy listening style and the fact that the music was at a very reasonable volume: no blasting speakers here! Then, after just three songs, self-accompanied by guitar, Denis popped out his mandolin for a very enjoyable rendition of the Kinks' "Tired Of Waiting For You" and Steve Earle's Irish classic "Galway Girl" before switching to the ukulele for a charming interpretation of McFly's wistful "Love Is Easy" but, in addition, you'll find plenty of variety in Denis's act, ranging from party numbers like the Mavericks' "Dance The Night Away" and Roxy Music's "Let's Stick Together" to country classics such as Glen Campbell's "Rhinestone Cowboy" and John Denver's "Take Me Home Country Roads" to up-to-date material like George Ezra's catchy "Budapest" as well as some good old rock 'n roll. And - how many performers would be brave enough to attempt Rupert Holmes' excellent "Escape" (The Pina Colada Song); the late Ronnie Lane's rocking "Ooh La La" or Billy Ray Cyrus' witty comedy number "Where Am I Gonna Live?!" Mr Cook will be returning to the Haven soon and my advice is that you might want to reserve a table, since the place is likely to be well be packed in anticipation of this great entertainer.

"Luis was excellent - great music, great vibe, great personality - he stayed later and we had a great vibe with him. One piece of advice is he should look into getting Paypal or Venmo for payments :) Thanks very much"

"Rippin Riffs! Honkin'Harmonica! Pretty realistic drums. Plenty of volume to fill any honky-tonk on the pike. Puts his heart into keeping it lively. Never takes a break! Not even between songs! Gotta see to believe! "

"Since l was little I remember my nan taking me to the pub to watch the live bands and enjoying all of it and it's been so long since I've seen anything on the same level so watching at the cross lances on remembrance Sunday 2019 it was like going back in time. This band is amazing friendly and bring out all the originals that I didn't even realise I have missed. So thank you. Stephanie 34 Hounslow."

"Scott is a regular performer here and one of our favorites! Not only is he an amazing musician and has developed quite a following at our venue, but he is also very professional and incredible to work with. Even as a solo performer, if you close your eyes you might guess you're listening to a trio! Such full sound and always the highest quality performance. He's just THAT good! I would very highly recommend him."

"We had Love Affaire Duo (Brian and his wife Serena) play at our welcome party for our wedding weekend in Tuscany. They were absolutely fantastic!! Both of them were incredibly talented, their performance was beautiful, and just lovely people to work with to help make this really personal for us. Our guests also loved their music! They were very easy to communicate with, always able to jump on a video call or speak via whatsapp. Both speaking fluent English. They arrived well in advance of the start time and did all of their own setup very quickly/smoothly. Great selection of songs for all tastes. We'd highly recommended them for any parties or weddings! Thank you both for making our wedding extra special! "
