Duncan recently performed at our annual St Patrick's Day party. Duncan was very professional throughout. He communicated really well before the event and was very flexible. On the day he arrived in plenty of time and performed an excellent set that really got the party going. I can fully recommend Duncan .

Duncan, thank you for making my 60th birthday party celebrations amazing.
You were brilliant, such a mixture of music. We were so impressed when my brother asked if you knew a random family favorite and you did, doing it proud.
Thank you sincerely, you made the night special.

Duncan played at my brother's birthday celebration - he was such a pleasure to work with. He has an eclectic repertoire of songs from 70s/80s/90s/00s. Duncan really interacted with the guests and everyone was up dancing in no time at all. We would highly recommend him if you want a good singer/entertainer for a party/social gathering.

We had Duncan play at a private afternoon garden party and despite the torrential rain Duncan got everyone up dancing and enjoying them selves. Great choice of music and took some requests as well. I would highly recommend booking Duncan. Duncan had another gig to go to after ours but everyone wanted him to stay longer!

We booked Duncan in at some customers requests....he has a fan base in Weedon! He was fab, the customers loved his repertoire of well known tunes, he read the crown well and some even got up and danced before us telling them they had to sit down (Covid rules). Great to see he had that effect on them even if they didn't get to revel in it! Lovely bloke, super easy to work with and a crowd pleaser.

I have seen Duncan perform at several venues around Northampton and a couple of private parties, he always puts in 100% and encourages audience participation. I am happy to arrange nights out with my friends knowing we’ll have an awesome time if Duncan is playing. Duncan caters for a wide range of musical tastes and can bring the room together regardless of age differences, he plays both older songs and more modern hits keeping the audience engaged, you definitely get value for your money when you hire Duncan for your event.

Duncan played at our beer festival this year and went down a storm. Brilliant range of songs from start to finish that had the crowd singing along from the off. Highly recommended..

We got married last Wednesday and Duncan made our reception. From our very first enquiry right until he left the venue, he was friendly, helpful and professional. His set had everyone up dancing and singing along. We could not have asked for any more from him. All our guests have been in touch and commented on what a hit he was. We cannot recommend him enough. Thanks, Duncan. See you at the christening my Dad predicted!

Derrie and Andy.

Perhaps one of the best performers on the circuit right now. A set list which spans a few decades with something for everyone. Gets the crowd going and invites the crowd to join in songs. Will be looking to book Duncan in the near future. Top bloke!

Duncan performed at our wedding on 15th September 2017. He was fantastic, he personalised it to suit our guests, his communication beforehand was excellent. He is a superb musician, he went the extra mile to make our wedding day special. We would highly recommend him. In fact we can't wait to see him performing live again!

What a awesome wedding we had, Duncan set up in the afternoon and played his heart out.....fantastic music, fantastic singer and guitarist. He even invited me (the groom) up on stage to sing a few songs with him.

Cant rate him enough, Thanks for a top day Duncan !

I have seen Duncan at various events ranging from open mic nights, which he organises and solo gigs. His set list caters for all tastes from 60's through to modern. He is always very professional and never fails to get a crowd involved with his excellent choice of music.

William McEwen (Personal) 18 Sept 2017

On a personal standing, I've known Duncan for around 18 years, his easy going nature transfers into his music, I've witnessed his performance and will do again, I've recommended him to others and the reviews never disappoint, his commitment in whatever he embarks on is fully focused and I'm convinced anybody considering making a booking to hear good honest work should do without delay....

Simon (The Abington Pub) 18 Sept 2017

Duncan has performed here a few times now and is always well supported.
He sings songs that are popular and well known
Very entertaining

Tom Matchett (Studio Boho) 18 Sept 2017

Duncan has a great repertoire of songs and the talent as a performer to entertain an audience. He's versatile and has warm engaging presence on stage.

He's also a consummate professional and brings a lot of experience with him to any event he performs at.

Best of all though, he knows how to work an audience in the right way at the right time. Its versatility, which is something separates the rest from the best and when you're hiring Duncan for your event, you are getting the best!
