Reviews of Danny Blackmond

Danny played for tour Celebration Party on Saturday 12th October. What a thoroughly lovely guy, nothing was too much trouble and his music and singing were just so incredibly good. Danny made a great day a memorable one.
Thank you again Danny, so so good...........

I booked Danny through Last Minute Musicians for my retirement party on the 25th November. The whole process right from the beginning was completely professional which I appreciated as I have never booked a vocalise before. Danny was absolutely amazing he kept me updated with e mails and his music was tailored to suit the age group. I was also impressed that Sarah Jane from Last Minute Musicians e mailed me before my party wishing me well. Danny is an absolutely lovely friendly young man and has the most amazing guitar skills and voice and I would definitely recommend him for your party.

Beautiful finger-style guitar playing and a voice to match!

Blackmond's guitar playing is a masterclass... He is less a one-man band, and more a one-man orchestra. A poetic soul, and a sublime vocal range'. - Americana U.K.

We booked Danny for our wedding and do not have one regret or complaint.
He was amazing and so talented.
Danny defiently set the right atmosphere in the room as guest were entering in and first dance which i absoultley loved!.
Thank you soo much again!

The morning after the night before .....Danny was superb .
There were only 10/ 12 guests and we booked Danny after seeing his promo videos.
He came early - didnt have a lot of equipment as it is a big but not a huge house....his voice and melodies made the night for my husband he was so suprised and every guest was amazed at how smooth and soft Danny s voice was .
I made quite a few requests and he managed to fit a good few in - even , a melodic version of Billie Jean which my daughter in law loved.
His range of different songs and the ability to sing other artists songs made it even better.
He is a lovely man polite , and amenable friendly and suprisingly I read this morning does stand up comedy ??? Wish I knew that last night...lol
A perfect singer for a perfect night ...we didnt want him to go.
Good luck with your new album Danny.....a very special man....would thoroughlyrecommend

If you’re lucky enough to go in on the day guitarist Danny Blackmond is playing, you’re in for a treat too.

Danny was fantastic and very accommodating. He is a wonderful musician and singer and feedback from our passengers reflect this. He was VERY well received by everyone.

We were lucky enough to have Danny play at our Wedding reception this summer and cannot rate him highly enough. He tailored the set list perfectly to capture the day and was incredibly professional in all aspects. He is a really talented musician, incredibly funny, polite, humble and is all round brilliant at what he does. He was very easy to work with and there was absolutely no disruption or drama pre or post set. He helped make our day perfect - I would 10 out of 10 recommend.

Excellent performer, everyone loved him. Very professional and a genuinely nice guy. We'd definitely have him back!

We booked Dan through last minute musicians after seeing his glowing reviews and listening to his wonderful clips and videos online. His playing was every bit as wonderful as I thought he would be and more. His talented playing and gorgeous voice created a wonderfully relaxed backdrop and atmosphere at our wedding. Everyone said how much they loved his music and I am so grateful to Dan for helping to make our day so special.

Danny’s performance was fantastic! The audience responded in truly magnificent fashion to his wonderful playing and singing. He has a great personality and brilliant way with the crowd. All success to him until we meet again.

I was captivated by Danny's music! We heard him sing in Congleton over a year ago, and felt immediately that he would be the perfect singer for the wedding. How right we were! He sang as she walked down the aisle.... beautiful. His choice of songs throughout the afternoon was absolutely spot on, as the guests made a point of telling me. Thank you, Danny, for your immeasurable contribution to our day. Perfect.

Danny sang for our wedding reception. What can I say everyone (and I mean everyone) said he was utterly fantastic. He learnt a new song especially for me to walk down the isle and playing a delightful mixture throughout the afternoon. He quite literally made our day. Book this guy. You will not regret it. Thanks again Danny you're REALLY great.

Danny was so wonderful from start to finish. He couldn’t have done more to make my Grandma’s special event, extra special.

His communication was fantastic and more importantly than that he is a fantastic musician and it was a privilege to have him perform at our event.

I wouldn’t hesitate in booking him again or recommending to a friend.

Thanks again Danny!

Danny is very personable and we loved having him entertain our birthday guests at our home. Good communication and totally reliable. Good feedback from our guests who enjoyed his entertainment. We looked at lots of videos of potential singers/guitarists, and chose Danny. He didn't disappoint! Thank you for helping to make Karen's party a success Danny, we all wish you well.

It was a pleasure from start to finish working with Danny. He is such a fantastic singer and guitarist. His gentle nature but confident performance was amazing. He has a personable nature and his relaxed banter between songs is endearing. Everyone loved him. We had a local village night of entertainment with a very mixed clientele, all made comments to me about him being a wonderful “find”, all said they thoroughly enjoyed it. Some of the locals are also singers and band members and although their styles of music were different, they could all appreciate Danny’s immense talent. We can’t wait to have him back for future events.

I honestly can’t thank Danny enough for singing during the drinks reception at my wedding on Saturday; from first contact to the end of his performance he was just a delight and I was thrilled we chose him! I asked him for a certain style of songs (mainly Christmas ones) and he performed them so beautifully. He made the whole atmosphere amazing and my little nieces couldn’t stop dancing! He even stayed to say goodbye which was so sweet and I knew I had made the right choice. If you’re considering a singer, don’t hesitate to get him booked! I’m already thinking of reasons to book again! Thank you so so much!! Xx

We hired Danny to play our private party. We had loved what we heard from his profile, but nothing prepared us for how exceptional he was on the day. Professional, friendly and very understanding in the face of some fairly strange antics going on from some of the guests (we were all dressed as prawns). To top it all off, when we were quoting Fry & Laurie sketches after he'd finished, he joined in with us. I'd be tempted to adopt him if I didn't already have three kids of my own. What an amazing guitarist, singer and all round entertainer. Thanks Danny!

We hired Danny to play during dinner at our wedding, and we're so glad that we did! He was absolutely fantastic! He set a lovely atmosphere with his incredible guitar playing and vocals. All of our guests commented on how amazing he was! We asked him to play a couple of requests which was no trouble to him at all, even though we didn't give him much notice. He was one of the highlights of the entire day!
To top it all off Danny was really professional and friendly, we would thoroughly recommend him to anyone!

We hired Danny as part of a line up of local musicians to play at our festival wedding. His guitar playing is a pleasure to watch. His style is natural and relaxed with the odd blues flourish thrown in for good measure. His voice is powerful and soulful - everyone in the tent was captivated by his performance. He's also a very friendly lad and seemed genuinely happy to play to our guests! A number of our guests had asked whether he had CDs available to buy. (Danny - please get some more CDs pressed. The oldies don't do streaming media!) A very memorable act.

Danny was great from the first point communication, really friendly and enthusiastic. We were in touch leading up to the event about the type of music we wanted and he very accommodating and made us feel totally at ease.
He arrived with plenty of time and was very thorough in his set up and preparations.
When he started he blew us away.... all the guests sang along and the atmosphere was fantastic.
Danny was great with the guests and performed loads of requests..... his performance made our evening perfect.... Thank you Danny!

We had the pleasure of having Danny play at our intimate Ceremony and Wedding Reception this August and we can’t recommend him highly enough.

Danny is very accommodating and was wonderful to work with from the start. We were after instrumental improvisation so Danny recorded and sent over some extra samples for us before we even made our booking. We also had a special request for the processional that couldn’t have been easy to transcribe - Danny arranged a version that involved playing both a harp accompaniment and vocal melody on the guitar - and it worked beautifully! Even if you have something a little bit different in mind for your event or wedding then you would be in safe hands with Danny - he is a wonderfully talented and clearly very skilled guitarist. We have had so many of our guests approach us to ask about him since, including those who now want to book him for their upcoming weddings!

Danny is also incredibly charming and a really lovely presence to have around - we had a very small, intimate ceremony and his easygoing and friendly nature meant he blended right in.

All in all, Danny exceeded our already high expectations. He was a major part of what made the atmosphere of our Ceremony exactly what we had wanted. We would recommend him without hesitation to anyone. Thank you Danny :)

We had the pleasure of Danny singing at our wedding on Saturday, he was perfect and his acoustic set was fab. Danny is a very talented musician who was very professional, accommodating and even put up with most of our guests deciding they'd duet with him through the evening! We would definitely recommend him and hope to use him again in the near future. Thanks again Dan x

I had the pleasure of having Danny Bradley play at a garden party celebrating my graduation! He was fabulous and had the perfect acoustic set-list. A very down-to-earth lovely guy with an even lovelier voice! Lots of my guests were asking who he was and how I found him, and some guests even took his number for future events! I would definitely recommend Danny if you are after easy-listening, acoustic, finger-picking guitar. A complete professional and very very very talented !!!! Thank you Danny :)

Fantastic from start to finish. Booking was easy and well organised and Danny was brilliant. Thank you!

Your service was great, thank you very much. We had a perfect evening made even more memorable by Dan.

I am so pleased that we found Danny. We celebrated my husband's 50th birthday with a party in the garden. Dan was the epitome of professionalism. He's a really likeable, gentle person with heaps of talent. Some of my guests arrived late but Dan was very accommodating, holding off and waiting until the vibe was right. The music was perfect. My two daughters wanted to sing their Dad a song and he happily obliged, learning the music and playing along with them. It was a beautiful, magical evening made even more memorable by Dan.

Following on from previous testimonial :
My only negative is that we hadn’t found Danny sooner so that we could have booked him for longer and the guests would have had more of a chance to hear how incredible he is! Stunning vocal, ridiculously talented musician, professional, helpful, really friendly. The list of compliments could go on and on. Staff in the office also very helpful and made the process very straightforward.

I cannot say enough about how fantastic Danny was at our wedding. We were let down 3 weeks prior to our date, not for the first time, and I had lost faith in anyone being professional and reliable at this point. Even though Danny had a previous booking on our date, because ours was an earlier time slot, he willingly accepted our booking. I had a specific aisle song that I wanted playing outdoors and after waiting 18 months to hear it from our previous band, Danny had the first audio draft sent to me within 2 days. Upon hearing the first sentence of 7 words I was in tears, and knew that this was our version of the song. Danny was sat on a log stump outdoors with just his guitar playing to our guests as they arrived, and as I began walking through the field he sang the perfect rendition of our song. He then played another set to welcome our guests inside the tipi and everything was perfect. We didn't have a lot of time to chat on the day, but the music I could hear and the happiness of our guests said everything we needed to know. Danny is not only a very talented musician with a stunning live vocal, but also very down to earth but very professional. I'm not sure what event I will need entertainment for again in the future, but if I do, this is who I will be booking.

Having worked with Danny previously in the theatre, I contacted him knowing of his professionalism and talent as a vocalist and musician. What did take me by surprise was his attention to detail and preparation, as he crafted some beautiful cover-songs for our day, which really was special. His relaxed charm, soulful voice, and spirited guitar-play all were perfection. The Missus & I could not recommend Danny highly enough - thank you, Sir! David T x

Danny was fantastic !!!!! I would highly recommend him , and he travelled specially to Lancashire to perform for us. Everyone commented how good he was.
Danny has made my Husbands 50th Birthday very memorable, and added an extra special touch to the evening.
Danny is a talented singer/guitarist, and a pleasant guy to have met.
If anyone is out there thinking of booking Danny, don't hesitate, you will not be disappointed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Danny, for everything, and for sharing your wonderful voice and talent with us.

What a fantastic guy Danny is.He sang two 45 min slots at are wedding and was liked by all our 125 guests.I would recommend him strongly to any one.

After my initial enquiry about musicians for a surprise 50th birthday party I was contacted straight away with a suggested singer, Danny Blackmond. I had s quick look at his profile, watched the YouTube clips and booked him. All dealings with the agency and Danny himself were friendly and professional and the music Danny provided on the day was superb. Thank you.

I booked Danny for my wife’s surprise 50th birthday party on the strength of the video clips on his profile and I’m so glad I did! Danny was very professional and approachable both before and during the gig. His musicianship and voice are superb and he has a real warmth with audience. At least half the party guests were either singers, actors or musicians and they all had nothing but praise for Danny.
Definitely first choice for any events in the future.

Danny is amazing! All really reliable and so easy to work with :)

I have booked Danny at a number of bars and restaurants that I have managed and have also been massively impressed by his quality. So much so that I booked him for our wedding. He was perfect. He performed during our meal with many people stopping to watch. I made a number of song requests which caused no problem for the other talented singer.
I would recommended to anyone.

I have seen Danny play numerous times, solo or with his band, and he has always had a terrific response from his audience. He has played twice at shows I have promoted and is professional, charming and engages with his audience wonderfully.
His original material is immediately accessible and he puts his own unique stamp on covers without alienating fans of the original, whether it be Springsteen, Petty, Dylan (or even Geldof!). I know nothing about playing guitar but two members of the audience who have played for years sought me out to compliment the remarkably able playing of this young man. Reaction through our Facebook page to his latest appearance included *excellent* *beautiful* *brilliant* - enough said!

I recently had the privilege of Danny playing piano at my wedding reception. He was an pleasure to deal with throughout the whole process. His range of material is excellent, with a voice that could charm the birds from the trees. I expected simple backing music whist my guests enjoyed a drinks reception but got so much more than I ever could've expected, he even took the time to learn new material to make our day even more special. I'd highly recommend Danny for any event, he's not only a gifted musician but an absolute gentleman.

This man provided the perfect ending to our fantastic wedding weekend. A fantastic performer with such an eclectic range. There wasn't a single guest left disappointed. Thank you again Danny.

Danny travelled to our Village Fair in North Lincolnshire and performed 2 fantastic 45 minute sets. He had a broad play list with something for everyone and even got a few of our revellers up on their feet dancing. Armed with just a guitar and microphone he was captivating and we would be delighted to invite him back again. Great job!

Absolutely brilliant. This guy should and most likely will be a successful recording artist.
Superb guitar skills, a chocolatey timbre to his voice that makes his singing something very special. My parents who are very hard to please were singing along and will remember this day as one of those special family moments.
Danny is so good with people and obviously loves what he does. Consummate professional.
Book this artist for a day you won't forget.
Well done and thank you.
Ian and family.

Danny was fantastic, we had a range of friends and family at our party from Ages 8-80 and I noticed them all either dancing or tapping their feet at sometime during the evening. Danny voice has a wonderful tone and great to listen to and his performance greatly enhanced our event, I would have no hesitation recommending him to others.

Danny has appeared on the bill at several of my promotions over the last 5 years or more.
He is a great performer who plays and sings really well and engages with his audience. His style has developed remarkably over the years and I'd have no hesitation in recommending him as a solo performer. He can equally entertain impressively as a musicians musician or in a lighter party environment... Top drawer!

Having booked Danny to perform on several occasions, from the intimacy of a house gig to playing at a £15M entertainment venue, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone wishing to book him to play for them. A great vocalist, guitarist and songwriter, Danny has an incredibly friendly and humorous persona that is appreciated by everyone that sees him. He is an immensely talented young man and I will be looking to secure his services once again in the very near future.

I have booked Danny several times, he is an excellent guitarist and an exceptionally good vocalist as well as being a really good songsmith. He is always received really well by the audience at The Back Room, they are used to seeing top grade entertainment from acts from all over the U.S.A. and Canada. Danny is comfortable in the very best company. Anyone thinking about booking Danny should not hesitate at all. I don't.

Stunning vocals, gorgeous instrumentation and great songs… I was completely blown away.
