Reviews of Graham Russ

Graham was absolutely brilliant! His play list was exactly as we wanted and he even learned a special song for us. He arrived promptly and set up discreetly, then performed two forty-five-minute sets for us. The volume was perfect, loud enough to enjoy the music but not so loud that conversations could continue. All of our guests thoroughly enjoyed the entertainment and happily joined in with some songs. Thank you so much Graham for helping to make our celebration a perfect occasion.

We hired Graham for a birthday party and he was superb! He played a really good mix of songs and all were performed to a very high level. We would definitely hire Graham again. Thanks Graham.

Graham played for us at our family BBQ and every single person that came all really enjoyed listening to him sing and play. It really made our day and we would have no hesitation to in booking him again. Well done Graham and Thank you!

I highly recommend Graham, great mix of songs, everyone enjoyed. He learned and played the songs we asked for in advance which was special for us. We totally enjoyed!

What a great set, Graham was brilliant, he came with a playlist that he had devised but added so much more, we didn’t sit down for the whole hour, dancing and singing away! Birthday boy loved it! Highly recommended!

Thank you Graham for a great evening of 60s music. Kevin enjoyed the music and so did we all by singing and dancing to your great entertainment, we would all like you for a fantastic evening and would recommend you highly. Kind regards Kim and family. ?????

Graham’s performance on the house patio was simply sensational. I cannot thank him enough for starting the birthday party with such wonderful songs, beautifully sung. He is also an excellent communicator with our guests who all commented on the wonderful singing voice. Highly recommended- thank you Graham!

I booked Graham when I proposed to serenade my fiancée so it was only right we had him at our wedding day 2.5 years later!! Everybody loved his set which he played in sweltering heat and he even took the time to prepare a backing track for my teenage sister-in-law prior to the wedding so she could rehearse and sing live with him on the day. He’s a hero. We love him. Thanks Graham!

Just perfect! Graham was very easy to liaise with. He provided a thoroughly professional and most enjoyable afternoon of music. Everyone was most impressed by his range of music and talent. Would definitely use him again and recommend him to family and friends. Thank you Graham x

We had Graham perform at our wedding in May, right after the ceremony, and we are so glad we did! A fantastic guitarist with a vast repertoire, Graham added such joy to drinks and canapes in the garden with his upbeat music (he worked with us to pre select our favourite songs). A delight to work with, the process of booking was seamless and I would recommend him to anyone.

Graham Russ provided music for our Jubilee party. He was fantastic and did a great set-list for the occasion. He really got the crowd going with uplifting music and he also built a great rapport. We will definitely book him for future events.

Graham was brilliant! I was not sure what song list would work with my guests so I left it with him and he did not disappoint, great singing, interaction with the crowd and thoroughly pleasant person to work with! Thank you!

Graham played an acoustic set for us at our wedding to accompany the cocktails and canapés. His voice and playing was amazing and the guests all totally adored the set and loved him. He took requests and was generally awesome! Thank you so much Graham, we were so happy you were able to play for our day and we will remember it forever!

Absolutely perfect for my 50th Birthday Party in the garden. Graham played all our favourite songs, the guests all loved him and it made the evening very special. I can’t wait for the next excuse to have a party and rebook Graham for the entertainment. From my 18 year old daughter to my 85 year old mother in law, there was something for everyone. Thank you for making my Birthday special!

Graham Russ arrived on time and quietly sorted out his equipment. A delightful young man who played to seventy diners of varying ages and selected music and songs that were most appropriate. He played an acoustic guitar beautifully and has a very pleasant singing voice.
We plan to use him again in the future and will recommend his services to friends and other charities.

We hired Graham for a birthday BBQ with family and friends in our garden. He was brilliant! We requested a list of songs ranging from modern hits to 1940s classics. Graham can sing a diverse range of songs and the music really complimented our afternoon celebrations. Graham provided beautiful background music ensuring the party had a nice relaxed vibe, I would highly recommend booking Graham for your event!

Graham sang at my husbands 40th, excellent repertoire, really engaged with an audience of all ages (including lots of under 5’s who wanted to be part of the band). Very accommodating, including staying on an extra hour and a really lovely chap to boot. Thank you Graham, we will definitely use you again!

Graham is a truly talented young man. He takes on board the reasons why a particular song has been requested. Not only does he learn any unknown song quickly but can alter lyrics to suit. I commissioned him to do a segue of several different songs & he did it seamlessly. The sincerity he uses when he performs is incredible. A truly talented performer!

Oh, what a night! Thank you Graham for making Michael’s birthday so memorable. Your music was fantastic and he was so thrilled with your rendition of the song which I asked you if it was possible for you to sing. And sing it you did, so wonderfully - and so much better than the original! We all loved it and many of the guests were so impressed that you knew every word. We had a wonderful night with lots of music from the 60’s and 70’s. Thank you for making the celebration so special. Can’t wait for our next celebration.

Graham was punctual, friendly and put on a great show for our private party. A very talented musician with a great personality who I would highly recommend! Would definitely book again!

Every now and again a hero comes along and Graham was mine. With less than 48 hours notice I asked him to learn a song he’d never heard before to serenade my girlfriend and I as I proposed to her. He did an unbelievable job, playing the song beautifully and nailing every small moment that I asked him to create. He is absolutely brilliant, and made my girlfriend and I so happy. I’d recommend him to everyone. Thanks Graham!

Graham played for my 40th birthday last night - he has a lovely voice - bang on the note, is an excellent guitarist, accommodated all of my song requests (including Stevie Wonder) and is a natural performer. He is also very prompt in communicating when booking the event and kindly accommodated my last minute time change. Definitely comes recommended! Thanks Graham.

We were recommended Graham by friends who had hired him for their party. When we looked at his repertoire we were impressed as it was completely to our taste. Graham didn’t disappoint and played 4 fantastic sets throughout the course of the evening. He has a great voice and we received several comments from our guests about how much they liked the music. We would highly recommend him and I am so pleased that he played at our party.

Graham was absolutely brilliant - literally couldn't fault him! Great voice, great song selection and the guests loved it!

He made the day even more special than it was and it was a real pleasure dealing to have him there!

Thank you Graham - all our love, Harry & Laura

What can I say other than Graham is absolutely amazing- from the moment we asked Graham to play at our wedding reception, he was an absolute breeze to deal with. Going above and beyond to learn my husbands favourite song to sing us down the aisle, to keeping our guests thoroughly entertained throughout the reception - Graham is a true class act. Professional, a pleasure to deal with and just so talented-

My 50th birthday wouldn't have been the same without Graham....!! He has a great repertoire and can certainly sing... but above all, he is just a really nice guy!!! Graham was very professional with communicating with myself prior to the event and came early to make sure he could set up. I have had numerous requests from my guests for his details who thoroughly enjoyed him entertaining us... I cannot recommend him highly enough... Once again Graham, thanks for all your help in making by evening extra special...

This is a muscian who you can not afford to miss out on at your event. Graham was with his band for this wedding he totally nailed it, his voice is versatile he had us up and dancing from the first number to the last a whole two hours and had the venue permitted it we would have kept going. Thank you Graham it was super special the bride and groom have had lot of praise further choice of band, well done.

Thank you Graham for providing the perfect sound track for our 40th birthday party. We were after relaxed but upbeat entertainment to accompany our hog roast, camp fire and craft beer and that is exactly what you provided. All our guests have said how great they thought you were. I wouldn’t heasitate to recommend you!

Graham is a great entertainer. We booked him last minute for a small christmas party we were hosting at home with a mix of kids and parents. His music was upbeat and he delivered on all of our requests. Everybody at the party were impressed. I would have no hesitation recommending Graham and I would book him for future events/parties we host.

We were lucky enough to have Graham as our resident musician following
some previous musicians who everyone forgot the moment they left. I have never received feedback as positive as we did after Graham left. We have already had requests for him next year and guests wanting to plan their family holidays around his sets.

Truly talented and wonderful gent. Thank you for helping us create memories for our guests.

Graham was perfect for the occasion. First off, extremely warm and friendly and played with a big smile. His set list was perfect for the venue and occasion. Really proactive with set list suggestions and didn't mind a couple of last minute alterations. Highly recommend him.

Graham played at our beer festival at The Alfred Free House at the end of October, and what a fantastic night it was. Non stop bangers got the crowd going! 100% would recommend

Graham was brilliant from start to finish. He responded quickly to our initial contact request and was professional, considerate and a really nice guy.
Our event was a family get together and it was based in a small area – Graham sang acapella with guitar which was absolutely perfect for our occasion.
Great repertoire with something for everyone and fantastic voice, we would definitely recommend.

I booked Graham Russ on a whim to perform at our garden party to celebrate my husbands 50th Birthday, and am so glad I did! Graham is a true pro and a pleasure to deal with; playing and singing so beautifully, entertaining our guests of all ages with a repertoire of songs from the 60’s through to current day. His music certainly made the event extra special and created a chilled, relaxed atmosphere. I would not hesitate in highly recommending Graham (or rebooking!).

Graham came to sing around the campfire at my sister in law's hen do. He was absolutely brilliant - he's got a great voice and sang loads of fun upbeat songs exactly as we had asked for. He also took requests. He got everyone up dancing and singing and we all had such a fantastic time. Would highly recommend him! 10 out of 10.

Graham was absolutely fabulous. His song range and delivery were superb and everybody at the party were so impressed he was booked to stay longer. I would have no hesitation recommending Graham and I will certainly be booking Graham again for future functions.

Graham absolutely smashed both gigs his covers at the party were all from requests from the attendees he was word and music perfect. The wedding were covers of his choice and chosen appropriately. I love his voice which is very versatile. His own songs are excellent.

Graham answered a late call after our original musician let us down. Absolutely brilliant gig especially as most, of the guests were outside listening in the sun instead of in the bar! We will definitely be booking him again and highly recommend!

Graham came and played for my dad's wake, we hadn't met him as a friend had recommended him. This brief was, well my dad had asked for amazing grace, for he's a jolly good fellow and some shanty music at the wake. Graham was excellent, changing the tempo and the song styles as needed. The shanty's went down a storm and Graham drew everyone in till they were all singing along. My dad would have loved it, he really made the day.

Graham made the long trek to the darkest depths of South Devon to perform at our wedding. His warm dulcet tones filled the church with wonderful acoustic guitar and singing, entertaining our guests while we signed the register. He also performed a selection of our favourite songs. Recommended.

Graham and his trusty guitar provided fantastic entertainment for us and our guest on our wedding day. He played acoustically during our drinks reception and got the guests involved by asking them to select the next song from his 'lucky dip' hat which was brilliant! His song selection was spot on and perfectly mirrored the sunny, relaxed vibe of the day. He also played one of our favourite songs Elbow's One Day Like This during the wedding ceremony and even agreed to learn and play our first dance song Bonfire Heart by James Blunt which was really special.
Graham is a true professional and an absolute gentleman and we would recommend his musical services without reservation.

Graham played and sang at our wedding, before the ceremony and again at the evening reception. His performance was wonderful and it's one of my fondest memories from our wedding. We asked for Graham to sing All of me by John Legend for our first dance which he sang beautifully accompanied by his acoustic guitar. He transitioned from this slow song into the more upbeat evening entertainment brilliantly.
