Photo of Harmonica Lewinsky Harmonica Lewinsky "Phil arrived in plenty of time before the start of the event. He played a great set of music and interacted well with everyone attending the event. Would highly recommend." Based in Harrow on the Hill, England (6 miles from Watford) Chantal Heath - Fundraising Event Photo of Chris Flegg Chris Flegg "Chris is not only a highly accomplished musician, with fabulous guitar skills, he has a wonderful voice, and a great sense of fun. So happy to have him perform In our home, where he played a sang for 2 hours from an extensive list of songs old and new. We also enjoyed some light hearted banter with Chris during the evening. It was sad when it all had to end. No hesitation in recommending Chris for a personal or lively event."

Everything from all Jazz crooners to Ed Sheeran style upbeat songs, Ciaran has a voice that can do it all. I would absolutely work with Ciaran again and fully intend to."
