Jamboree James was amazing! Highly highly recommend, he learnt and performed our first dance music at short notice. Took on board all of our requests. We had a very small wedding of 25 including children so by the time the evening came there were less than 20 of us. I worried that the vibe would be off with such a small crowd but James brought the good vibes and we danced all night. He even played through his break as we were all having such a good time. Thoroughly recommend. Thanks for making our wedding evening so fun!

Jamboree James was the ultimate professional, great communication and arrived in plenty of time to set up. He was patient in the chaos of our school fayre set up. We had lots of compliments about the music which provided the perfect background to the events of the day.
I'd definitely recommend Jim to anyone looking for some excellent live music from a reliable musician.

The man’s a true star. Great performance, real engagement with the audience and a true professional. He leant four sea shanties plus Hotel California for my yacht club event.
We loved him and his play list. What’s not to like about a great performance.

James was absolutely fantastic at our wedding reception, nothing was too much trouble for him and he was so lovely and kind- a true gentleman! He was super talented and all of our guests enjoyed his performance who were aged 15 to 80. We had our reception in a pub and James definitely contributed to them having a much busier night as lots of people stayed around outside to listen to him and commented on how good he was ( and it wasn’t a warm evening!!). James had excellent communication throughout the booking process, is accommodating when picking
Song choices , and arrived at our venue in plenty of time. To top it all James clearly loves what he does x x we all loved him x x if you are wondering about who to book for your event , don’t hesitate , get james booked, you will not be disappointed x x x

James played at our wedding reception on the 22nd August 2023, he was absolutely incredible from start to finish! Everyone at the reception kept telling us how much they enjoyed his performance and how amazing he was. James was an absolutely perfect fit for our event, all the kids also enjoyed dancing along to the music, it was nice to see everyone enjoying the music and the atmosphere James created. We would very highly recommend booking James for any event you are planning, his voice is incredible and he is a genuinely lovely person.

We booked him for our mini festival in our paddock with various singers during the day and evening. Jim finished off the event and got everyone up dancing and singing along. He even stayed abit longer with a few requests from the guests.

Jukebox James performed a custom set from his playlist for our wedding along with three songs he specially learnt we requested. He even learnt and sang one of them in German!!! Jim was quick to reply and confirm details after booking.

In person he was very pleasant, polite and professional. He only had a short 5-10 minute break during a jam packed 2hr set. Would definitely recommend jukebox James and would hire him again. :-)

James was absolutely brilliant. He came in and set up without a fuss, played two absolutely cracking sets of all the songs we had picked in advance from his set list PLUS a load of extra songs that he had recorded accompaniments for especially for our party! He is a very talented musician and singer and the icing on the cake was his performance of the song we did our first wedding dance to. We will definitely be asking him to regale us again in the future. Thanks for a genuinely brilliant night James! :)

Jim was brilliant- he performed specific songs not from his set list that was special to my event. He was flexible with set up and my family friends were extremely complimentary! I was so excited to have him play for my husbands 50th and I was not disappointed! Would definitely use again.
TY so much Jim

Jukebox James recently sang at our wedding. From time of booking, JJ was extremely helpful & accommodating regarding timings, choice of set list & learning two songs for us. His setup worked perfectly in a smaller venue and the backing tracks gave us the full band experience. On the day, Jim was very friendly & played & sang brilliantly. We really glad we booked Jukebox James & would highly recommend him.
