Aled Evans Solo Acoustic Covers "We were extremely happy with Aled’s performance at our daughter’s 18th birthday celebrations. His professionalism stood out from the outset-he sent over a selection of curated playlists allowing us to tailor the music to suit the vibe of the evening. On the night he got the crowd up dancing and created a lively, joyful atmosphere - he even stayed a little longer and played extra songs on request.
