Everyone really enjoyed their set. Great mix of songs, everyone was up and dancing! Hayley and Emma both have great personality’s and superb voices. Will book them again!" Based in Eastbourne, England (23 miles from Rye) Freddy Dorset - NYE party at the Old Granary Pub, Wareham Photo of Lewis Ross Music Lewis Ross Music "Lewis was amazing!! We had him at our little civil ceremony in Brighton and he was a true highlight of the ceremony. We listened to so many musicians during our search, and while many were undoubtedly talented, a lot of them seemed to put their interpretation ahead of the music itself. We were looking for someone who would let the songs shine, and that's exactly what he did, while having a beautiful voice himself. His voice is natural without sounding overdone or forced. His performances felt authentic, heartfelt, and true to the songs we already knew and loved. Rather than trying to reinvent them, he captured everything that made them special in the first place, which was exactly what we wanted for our wedding. As well as his great voice, he was also incredibly responsive, helpful and accommodating. He followed the brief exactly, and we are truly grateful. We would have him again in a heartbeat and definitely recommend him to others."
