TESTIMONIALS
A small selection of recent testimonials:
“Our guests were very appreciative of Jim’s contribution to their enjoyment of the occasion… an inspired choice!”
Mr & Mrs Goode
“We can thoroughly recommend Jim Wynn, who provided the pre-dinner entertainment at our recent May Ball. The music set the tone for the evening and was much enjoyed.”
Mrs Coomer
“Jim’s music added hugely to the party ‘swing’ and all the guests enjoyed his varied repertoire. By total contrast, his playing at a pensioner’s Christmas meal we held provided a beautiful backdrop for their conversation without being in any way intrusive. It’s a rare performer who can meet the needs of two quite contrasting events so successfully”
Mrs Essex
