Photo of Final Edition Final Edition "Nancy and Franscois married on 28 June 2025. Everything went smoothly, from the beach ceremony to the dinner/dance. Final Edition provided all the music and I would recommend them to my friends and colleagues. Very accommodating and good choice of music." Based in Ballito, KwaZulu-Natal Jeff, father of the bride - Private Wedding Photo of Samuel singer and guitar player Samuel singer and guitar player "I had the chance to meet Samuel during an evening in Rome at a venue, and his music left me speechless. You don't see talents like this around very often. Listening to him is like taking a journey through the world of blues, soul and rock n' roll from the 60s to today. We have already set a date together for a private event. He is super available and kind and has already fulfilled every request, and I can't wait to hear him again! I really recommend him to anyone who wants to make any evening something special for everyone lucky enough to witness it. Thank you Samuel! You're amazing!!"
