Photo of Lee Schofield Lee Schofield "Lee was a fantastic addition to our Charity Event!" Based in Penrith, England (17 miles from Carlisle) Gemma Scott - Charity Event Photo of Matt Baxter Matt Baxter "We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better singer and guitarist to be part of our special day! From start to finish, the vibes were incredible, Matt created the perfect atmosphere and making our wedding breakfast feel even more magical. All of our guests said he was one of the highlights from our day! If you’re looking for a talented singer and guitarist who can create amazing vibes, deliver a truly incredible performance and make your wedding feel extra special then Matt is the one! He brought the perfect blend of talent, atmosphere and personal touches to our day. Thank you so much Matt for being such a big part of our day" Based in Leeds, England (94 miles from Carlisle) 28th October 2026 Rebecca Shave - Wedding Photo of Peter Bull Peter Bull "We are so glad that we booked Peter to perform at our wedding drinks reception. He played music from a range of eras, and it was ideal for our festive winter wedding in a Medieval venue. We knew he’d be perfect as soon as we listened to some of his sample tracks online, and in person he was even better. Peter provided a great atmosphere, he was friendly and got on well with the guests. Peter phoned a couple of weeks before the event to discuss our preferences for musical eras and instruments. We asked for a range of things (including a few Christmas carols), with slightly more hurdy gurdy, as it’s our favourite period instrument. Our guests loved Peter’s performance, as did we, and we 100% recommend him for events. We’ve had lots of comments afterwards from people saying how great he was. Thank you, Peter, for helping to make our day so memorable and festive" Based in Leeds, England (94 miles from Carlisle) Cathy Charlton Wedding at Askham Hall, Cumbria - Wedding Photo of Stevie M Stevie M "Steve is an excellent vocalist and all round fantastic entertainer. The crowd absolutely love him. He reads an audience well and adapts songs to suit and everyone has a fantastic night. His voice is superb and everyone is up dancing! I am lucky enough to see Steve perform often, and I would highly recommend him for any booking. You will not be disappointed! See you soon Steve!" Based in Rainford, England (96 miles from Carlisle) Mrs Foster - Private function Photo of Graham Anthony Cooper Graham Anthony Cooper "Ross wrote: We booked Graham for our NYE party and really couldnt have asked for a better night. The perfect mix of songs, a full dancefloor all night and a really interactive performance. Graham is super friendly and professional, nothing was too much for him on the night. Our guests had nothing but good things to say about him and we will be booking him for future parties and special events."
