You guys are so talented! Thanks again, Harriet and Lee 4/2019" Based in Warwick, England (9 miles from Coventry) Harriet Burrows - Private Wedding Photo of Tony O'Dee - Award-Winning Singer Tony O'Dee - Award-Winning Singer "Tony provided a wide variety of entertainment including requests from a variety of people of all ages. Excellent entertainer, thoroughly recommended." Based in Solihull, England (11 miles from Coventry) Alison - Caravan & Motorhome Rally - Lincs Centre Photo of Evie Ingles Evie Ingles "I booked Evie as a wedding surprise for my husband and family, and she was spectacular! She even travelled all the way to Buxton for our special day. Nobody else knew I had booked her, as she worked closely and secretly with just me ahead of time to plan the perfect surprise. Together, we custom-curated a setlist of songs that are incredibly close to our hearts. This required her to learn music she had never even heard of before, including a beautiful version of our first dance and the song from my in-laws' own wedding first dance. This made the performance deeply personal to us. Her performance, combining gorgeous singing with solo sax segments, was a massive hit and got everyone dancing. We received so many compliments from our guests, and she helped create a truly special memory for our family. We all loved her!" Based in Birmingham, England (17 miles from Coventry) 27th September 2026 Ayesha K - Private wedding Photo of Ub40 One Solo Show Ub40 One Solo Show "Great act keeps everyone dancing and having a good time, we also sing some ska and 2 tone that we asked for, was on time and always around if we needed something.
