Thanks for a being a brilliant entertainer yesterday Bob. Fantastic to work with you. Easy booking, great comms, punctual, complete self-contained setup, super tunes, terrific performance and excellent value. The crowd thoroughly enjoyed it and the feedback has been exemplary. I very much look forward to the next time and thank you dearly for helping make the party a rip roaring success!

Delphe please meet Bob he is an amazing singer, one of the few I can honestly say plays to the crowd and entertains at the same time, a skill not many have.

Well what an amazing day!
Thank you for your wonderful music, you are an amazing band. Loved every moment.
Mum and Dad really enjoyed your music, brought back a lot of good memories for them. Our friends loved it.
Hope you’re feeling better, I really appreciated every note.
Till next time, all the best, have a great summer!

‘What can I say, Bob was amazing, despite the cold weather everyone had an amazing time, just donated £90 he was worth every penny. Thank you! ‘

Hi Bob
Thank you for today. They all thoroughly enjoyed it.

Hello Bob,

It went down really well, perfect set for warming the Sunday up.

I really enjoyed it.

Quick note just to say how much we enjoyed the band last night. Really great musicians and dancing coach who made the evening really fun. They clearly enjoyed what they were doing which brought a lot of fun to the occasion and had lots of people on the dance floor.

Bob uses no backing trucks, it’s just him and his acoustic guitar. Bob has a pleasing disposition and his interaction with the audience is 2nd to know. It is impossible to list the numbers he packed into his set but Bob went from, ‘the banana boat song ‘to happy birthday sweet 16’and ‘Country Road’. There is nothing he can’t sing. He also encourage the audience to join in and become his backing singers. Well worth the booking.

Bob, really great evening, thanks again! V impressed with how many people you got on the dance floor. Hope you got back ok.

I’ve just pinged Jennie Evans a quick email to say how much we enjoyed. All the best, Guy

Bob.
Thank you for a brilliant evening.
Kind regards
Amanda

Hi Bob,

I listened to your BBC Radio interview yesterday evening – it was brilliant!! The team are buzzing with it, I’m sure Kirsty has been in touch too to tell you. You’re a natural! It was also great to hear you sing.

I managed to catch the interview and thought you sounded fantastic. The songs sounded great too, I hope the rest of the tour goes well. It's wonderful to hear you've had such a warm reception.

Hi Bob

It didn’t just pass off well - it was a huge success. Everyone loved the music, and your chat - not withstanding references to the mafia of course - was really entertaining. It was an evening to remember!

You’ve missed nothing off except the £50 which you have kindly reduced the price by. Thank you.

Hi Bob

We just wanted to say a big thank you for playing at our party on Saturday night. We had such a great day and the band just made it. We've had so many comments on how good the band were.

We were so pleased with how the party went and to be able to use our garden to host. The atmosphere was great and the selection of music was just perfect.

Thank you for coming all the way over to Lincolnshire too. We can highly recommend knoxville highway.

Many thanks

Margaret and Guy

Thanks Bob. You’re a very talented man.

Hi Bob

Just a quick one to say thanks for visiting last week, sorry I wasn’t here to see you but got to get the holidays in before end of the year ?

We wanted a very informal, chilled evening in our small village pub to celebrate a 60th Birthday with friends, neighbours and family, and chose to contact 'Country Bob Gessey' to play for us. He was a total hit with all the guests, and had us up dancing and singing to some well-loved favourite and familiar songs. He got to know us before the party started to get an idea of the sort of music we loved, and incorporated the numbers into his sets. Bob has a great voice, is a great musician and helped the evening have an amazing, fun, relaxed and 'party' vibe'. Thank you, Bob!

What a fantastic evening as always. Our residents thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

Thanks again.

Feedback compiled by Susie Boden from Bournville gardens gig 17 October
Bob Gessey has an infectious personality. He is a talented guitarist and singer who tailor made his cheerful programme to entertain us. We thoroughly enjoyed our time as we sang, clapped and line danced – Good choice.

Congratulations on Saturday very very entertaining – a lovely program and a wonderful voice
In these grey days of limited association and conversation, what a treat to hear so many joyess voices in the singalong with bob Gessey on Saturday – what a tonic!
An hour with bob Gessey – a very friendly and good guitarist/ singer another tonic to help us through these strange times
This relates to the outdoor concert given by Bob Gessey on 17 October 2020 he played over his allotted time played a variety of songs to satisfy his audience including an impromptu session with the Bourneville country and western dancers lovely sense of humor and an excellent guitarist and singer
Very enjoyable and was a welcome period of light relief & togetherness in these difficult times more please thank you top marks

The bob Gessey event was superb just what we needed I think everyone enjoyed it very, much what a nice man! Thank you.

We loved it as we watched from our balcony. Thank you
A top class turn. Really cheered us up
Your performance on Saturday was very well received and enjoyed by everyone. I think it’s fair to say you brought more than a little joy to an otherwise grey sort of day

Yes what a fantastic evening’s entertainment you provided for us on Saturday! The fist indoor entertainment since the pandemic hit and I must say I couldn’t have asked for more. I have posted about your show on our internal Facebook-workplace site, so hopefully more of my colleagues will be in touch.

What a fabulous find. Bob made the party complete with his music. We sang and danced and had the most wonderful time. We can thoroughly recommend Bob. Thank you.
Kind Regards,
Bev

Bob has played for me at my old pub in Yarpole (the Bell) and now here at Clun. They love country out here and lots of sing alongs so Bob really fits the bill - he’s here every month - excellent and great rapport with the crowd

Bob was very interactive, Had a good range of songs and made everyone feel comfortable so the audience were able to participate. Bob was a really easy going and entertaining performer with a great rapport with the audience.

A brilliant presentation, Yes there were loads of variety and singalongs with the residents.

Bob played at the Bell for our Saturday night regulars. He was punctual, dressed appropriately and his selection of songs was just right for the people. He took requests and everyone enjoyed the night. A quality professional.
