5/5 from 225 reviews

Elvin Cole "These guys are great, all excellent musicians, great mix of music, good humour and banter with the audience. Seen them a few times now and they never disappoint. Clive Fletcher, Sunday 1 March 2026" Based in Reading, England (6 miles from Henley on Thames) 20th March 2026 The whishing Well, Hay's - Clive Fletcher

Ant Barnes "Ant was fantastic!! We asked Ant to sing/ play guitar to one of our favourite songs (Better together, Jack Johnson) during the signing of the register at our church ceremony wedding. He also sang Elton John 'Your song'. We absolutely loved his performance and so many of our guests said how great they thought he was!! He sang them brilliantly and gave an extra personal touch to our ceremony. His kind, easy going nature made the whole process of booking/ arranging very simple. Would highly recommend!!!" Based in High Wycombe, England (9 miles from Henley on Thames) Zara & Andrew - Wedding

Toby Jug "We hired Toby for an informal 18th birthday party in our garden. He was excellent, even learning a few new songs in advance to please the birthday girl. He was exactly the right person for this kind of event, nice and chilled but very talented. Highly recommend Toby to anyone wanted a guitarist/singer for an event." Based in Wallingford, England (11 miles from Henley on Thames) 13th July 2026 Mike Yardley - Daughters 18th Birthday

Sailing Waves "Sailing Waves performed at mine and my husband’s wedding on 08.09.24 for our drinks reception and what can I say, they were amazing. They even recruited our flower girl on the tamborine. All the guests enjoyed the music. Would highly recommend!!" Based in Camberley, England (15 miles from Henley on Thames) Rachel Woods - Private Wedding

Acoustic Undercovers "Thanks so much for coming along on Friday. You were the perfect addition to the evening and made it stress free for me." Based in Fleet, England (18 miles from Henley on Thames) Sarah Daily - Parish Awards

Pauline and the Imaginary Friends "I’ve seen Pauline and the Imaginary Friends perform several times now and their show is always full of energy and fun.
