James Sullivan-Gear (Wedding) 2 Oct 2026
10/10

We LOVED having James for our wedding day! He not only learned multiple songs to fulfill our ceremony requests, but during cocktail hour, he even took on board some songs we'd provided as reference - not required - as to our general vibe that were definitely a bit niche! We are so grateful that James played our wedding - it was the perfect vibe that had been hard to nail down when looking at other musicians; both beautiful acoustic guitar for simpler moments while fun, upbeat one man band gave energy to cocktail hour. Thank you James!

From day 1, James was very enthusiastic and accommodating. On the day, he was excellent - everyone thoroughly enjoyed his split set. I wish I were having another party, so I could book him again. Everyone was amazed at his style and set list!

I can't recommend him highly enough!

James is amazing!!

A huge thank you for playing the night before our wedding. Our friends and family were definitely fans, telling us on Saturday and Sunday how much they enjoyed your sets on Friday night!

The energy and the dancing were exactly what we wanted. Thank you for making everyone smile.

Thanks so much — you are amazing and such a lovely soul!

James was a great performer, could not have asked for any more. Very attentive to finer details. Very easy communication and went beyond to learn a special song for the birthday girl with late notice! Thanks again James.

The Noble Fenwicks (Wedding) 25 Aug 2025

James Juke was absolutely incredible at our wedding! From the start, he was so accommodating and easy to communicate with, making the whole process stress-free. He went above and beyond by learning 7 songs just for our big day – including our first dance – and performed each one beautifully. On the day, he was flexible with timings, totally professional, and brought such a vibrant energy to the whole event. Guests couldn’t stop talking about how amazing he was! If you want the sound and presence of a full band but don’t have the space, James is the perfect choice. His voice, charisma, and talent are unmatched. We honestly can't recommend him highly enough – now we just need another excuse to hire him again!

Absolutely faultless! James is not only a very talented musician and singer but he is also a really nice guy. His repertoire to choose from was very varied and I got a lot of good feedback from my guests too. I hired a small function room that would have been too small for a full band but James was perfect as his loop pedal skills made his act something for everyone to watch and admire as well as listen to.

James did a fab intro and outro for our wedding celebration and entertained our guests whilst we had drinks. Guests loved the eclectic mix of tracks we picked and James set the tone with an upbeat vibe. Fabulous! Highly recommended.

James was absolutely brilliant for us at our wedding reception. We spoke with James beforehand to discuss the sort of music we wanted and he absolutely blew us away with the song choices and performance on the night.

He was professional, great with the audience, and really made the party. We’ve had so many comments from guests about how great the music was. Thank you again.

Eloise Biddlecombe (Wedding) 23 Sept 2024
10/10

We absolutely couldn't recommend James highly enough - from start to finish, he was a delight to communicate and work with. James offered a tailored and personalised service, worked with us in an outdoor area in the rain (!!) and still, was an absolute delight. Our guest's all commented on how great James was.

And the songs James performed on both the entrance and exit will always been etched in our heart.

Jamie Davy (Wedding) 23 Sept 2024
10/10

Literally could not fault James. We asked if he could learn a new song for us and adapt it for our first dance and he absolutely nailed it. Great communication, great performance, everyone loved, can not fault him. Thanks again!

James (Wedding) 11 Sept 2024

Absolutely fantastic. James well and truly brought the energy and started the party. Can not recommend anymore for a wedding or private party.

Where to start!

James is a fantastic communicator, and real professional, so we had no worries from the off that we had made the right choice in booking Fugitive.

On the day, we arrived at our evening venue, and James had got caught in some terrible traffic. He didn’t let this ruin our day in any way and worked extra hard to be ready to entertain our guests. James has a great love of music, this is so easy to see, he takes pride in his output and really listens to what you want.

I nearly got into an argument with my newly wedded wife as James was so good that I didn’t want to keep going off for photos! You won’t regret booking James, and we will continue to follow him on socials and Music apps to see him continue his career. A true professional with a lot of talent!

Poppy & Sam (Wedding) 18 Jul 2024
10/10

James, we cannot thank thank you enough for your professionalism, quick responses, and being INCREDIBLE at our wedding drinks reception. We were immediately blown away by your videos and talent, and needless to say, you did not disappointment! We received so many comments from our guests on how fantastic you were. You had people dancing, singing and your outstanding performance really the set the tone for the rest of our day. Our only regret is that we didn't personally get to enjoy even more of your amazing skills, having been so busy catching up with guests (and away for photos) throughout the drinks reception! 😅
We are so grateful for you being as lovely as you were, and for such being such a fantastic part of our wedding.
We would HIGHLY recommend booking James!!!!
All the best,
The Donovans x

This is the second time we’ve seen James perform and each time he’s been brilliant. We chose a set list before the party and James was very quick at communicating with us when we got in touch with questions. The guests all commented on how wonderful James’s set was and we will definitely hire him again.

Mr & Mrs Reynolds (Wedding) 12 Jul 2024
10/10

James was a life saviour for accepting our last minute request to play at our wedding as our initial entertainer had broken it's leg. Prior to outr wedding we had an online chat to make sure what he need of us and for us to share what we envisioned our evening entertainment to be like. James was so very kind to even learn a specific accoustic version of a song just for our first dance which was amazing! He is very talented, kind and will make your guests have an amazing time. We highly recommend him to anyone!

Demi Pratt (Wedding) 23 Jun 2024
10/10

After seeing James perform when we were out for dinner one night, we were excited to have him at our wedding and he did not disappoint. He arrived to set up on time and managed to do so without disruption to the day, even with a minor car problem! James is very friendly and made it easy to discuss what music we’d like him to play. He made huge efforts to learn our first dance song and play it for us which will always be a memory of ours so thank you! Everyone had such a good time :-)

Stef Watkins (Wedding) 13 Jun 2024
10/10

James and the Giant Beat was totally our vibe, I heard him at a wedding fair and he then came to play at our wedding last weekend 8.6.24. All email communications were clear and efficient and so friendly! He provided us with a songs list and we chose from that, a mix of older songs and current. He played 2 x 1 hour sets for us and was really well received by our guests as well as us of course. Would highly recommend James to anyone. Thank you James!

Pam and Brad Morley (Private Wedding) 30 May 2024
10/10

James was very professional to work with. Good communication and a varied repertoire to choose from. He happily learnt 2 song requests for us, one of which he played first, which was my song so I really appreciated that!
He was perfect background music for our drinks reception, and we’ve had some lovely comments from guests about how good he was.
He was a great addition to our special day and would highly recommend!

Emma Kinsey (Wedding) 4 Apr 2024
10/10

Cannot recommend James enough! He is professional, friendly and SUPER talented. The perfect choice for our wedding and so many guests were amazed by his talent. Please do not hesitate to book James, promise you will not be disappointed.

Hayley (Wedding) 14 Nov 2023
10/10

James went down an absolute storm at our wedding and he was everything we hoped for!

Moreover than the performance itself, on the day, there was a small hiccup in relation the DJ becoming delayed (who was playing straight after James). Once this was communicated to James, he seamlessly carried on his performance until they arrived, keeping us, and our friends and family dancing and singing with his extensive repertoire - our guests were non the wiser of the delay, and the vibe was awesome.

An absolute professional, and we can't recommended James highly enough. Thank you!

Isabel Mason (Private Wedding) 27 Oct 2023
10/10

Fantastic! Easy to communicate with in the lead up to our wedding, flexible, and put on a fantastic performance! Plenty of very positive comments from our guests. I’m looking forward to watching James perform again in the future!

Victo (Wedding) 30 Sept 2023
10/10

James performed at our drinks reception during our recent wedding at Sopley Mill and WOW he was absolutely fantastic. He ensured the restrictions of the venue did not impact his performance and left a lasting impression on all of our guests! We received so many positive comments about him. His communication before and during the event was fantastic and we cannot recommend him enough. Thank you so much James for being part of our big day!

We went with James after seeing him perform locally. An amazing musician who was great to work with. Very clear communications prior to the event with a great song list.

We have had so much positive feedback after our wedding from our guests regarding James and if I ever look to get married again I’ll make sure to hire James!

Ward & Jess (Wedding) 27 Aug 2023
10/10

James really was such a brilliant addition to our wedding day. With the sun shining and James performing outside our guest and ourselves had the most wonderful time. James was a huge hit with all the guests from our 1 year old niece who was up and dancing to our older guests. We told James about our music preferences and he really hit the nail on the head with all of the songs he performed. We are so grateful James was able to perform at our wedding and really do think he put the cherry on top of our special day. Another huge Thankyou and well done to James having only two days to learn our first dance song he absolutely smashed it, filling the room with lots of happy tears. This really did mean so much to us that he was able to do this. We honestly could not recommend James more we hope to have his entertainment again in the future at more events as he was brilliant. Thank you so much James!
Your charisma, musical talent and beaming personality were so loved and enjoyed by us all!

Huge thanks and appreciation,
Ward & Jess

James was absolutely brilliant. We had so many guests come up and compliment his performance. His range is outstanding, he was really communicative in the build up and is a genuinely lovely and warm person. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone else. Thank you for making our day that bit more special James.

10/10

Thank you so so much for playing at our wedding James! You were everything we could have asked for and more! From the moment we first heard your music, we knew that we needed to have you perform at our wedding.

Your performances during the ceremony and the reception were perfect! The entrance music was incredible as well as the music played during the signing and exit music.

During the reception, your cover of Dancing in the Moonlight was perfect and you continue by performing some incredible covers during the reception!

Thank you so much for helping make this the best day of our lives!

Chris and Stephanie Wiggin (Wedding) 20 Jun 2023
10/10

We had previously booked James for an event that was cancelled due to COVID and so James provided us with a virtual concert which was amazing. We then booked him for our wedding as we couldn’t wait to see him perform live and we were so pleased that we did. James is an excellent musician and performer. It was a pleasure to work with him up to our event and he even learnt a song for our wedding which we were so grateful for. He put on a great performance and was loved by all. We will always hire James for events and would highly recommend him.

Lu & Henry Barton (Wedding) 10 Jun 2023
10/10

James was just wonderful! He played for our wedding ceremony and our reception. He learnt new songs we asked to be part of our day and played everything beautifully. We had so many guests ask about him while he was playing. We want to thank James so much for making our day so special and a part we will never forget. x

James played at our wedding reception. Kept everyone dancing all night! Great communication on the run up about the playlist and first dance. Thanks again, from the Joyceys

James and the Giant Beat (60th birthday party) 8 Mar 2023
10/10

Having seen James and the Giant Beat several times previously we were delighted to have him perform at my husbands 60th Birthday party last Saturday. From my first communications with him he was courteous and helpful and with a huge repertoire of songs to chose from, it was easy to pick hubby’s favourites - plus all the crowd pleasers! On the night James was punctual and engaged early on with the crowd. Before we knew it many guests were up and dancing and in the second set the place was literally rocking. Many guests commented on how much they enjoyed James’s unique and quirky interpretation of songs and how much fun it was trying to guess the song from the intro. I would have no hesitation booking him again, really amazing ?

Noel and Paula Hopkins (Private Wedding) 27 Feb 2023
10/10

James provided 3 hours of musical magic for our wedding on 18/02/23. Having found him on lastminute musicians.com and seen some of his YouTube videos, we contacted him and he replied speedily. Over subsequent months, we emailed, talked and video-called about the details of his set. His own repertoire was vast and we had no difficulty picking out songs we liked. James very generously offered to learn some songs for us too - we nominated a song called The Dancing Floor by Runrig which he sang and played beautifully, bringing his own soulful interpretation to it.

James is a very talented singer and guitarist whose use of loop pedals and digital effects produced an extremely full and satisfying sound, more like a band than a solo artist. Our family and friends were very appreciative of his performance, many of whom took to the floor well in advance of the disco that followed!

Paula and I would have no hesitation in recommending James for any event where music is required and appreciated. For our wedding, James provided a bespoke, delightful and memorable set which was the centrepiece of our big day and did so with sensitivity and professionalism.

Finally, for everything that James did in the preparation and in the performance, he provided astounding value for money.

Thanks James for sprinkling your magic dust on our day!

Kerry & Ashley (Wedding) 13 Sept 2022

James was an amazing performer everyone loved his performance it’s different to having a band it’s abit more special and unique. Would definitley recommend and have James again for other events in the future! Great stuff :)

We hired James Juke to play at our wedding and he was excellent. James is incredibly talented with an interesting and varied repertoire. He was flexible, friendly and accommodated a number of requests from guests. Would highly recommend.

Franki & Leon (Wedding) 7 Sept 2022
10/10

James Tattington was amazing. Any questions we had he answered and was really helpful. James had to travel from the UK to Jersey in the Channel Islands and kept me notified at all times of any problems that occurred. On the day James was amazing. His voice is just out of this world and played all of the songs we requested. James made the biggest effort to say goodbye to us when he was leaving as well which was so nice. All in all he was a lovely man and would highly recommend him to anyone. He made things very easy for us and we were so happy that he was part of our special day.

Brendan Woodward (Wedding) 5 Sept 2022
10/10

James is an absolutely fantastic performer... We've had amazing feedback from our guests and a few enquiries for other gigs for him. He was willing to help out with additional equipment on the day and he was set up and cleared away in no time at all. Overall he was one of the highlights of our wedding. We can't recommend him highly enough. ?

James is an incredibly talented musician, a one man band, with the impact of a group. His repertoire is extensive, lots of choice meant we could cater to a broad demographic of party guests. We had lots and lots of compliments at the birthday party we threw for my Dad, people were blown away with his talent and unique approach to music. We would 100% book again, James is trustworthy, polite and a pleasure to have around. We would highly recommend James to anyone looking to book, he won't disappoint. Thank you for making our event so special James.

James played 2 sets at our 40th birthday party and he was absolutely fantastic. He was really professional in the run up to the party, arrived with plenty of time to set up, and his music really set the tone for our party. It was a big talking point and everyone loved it!

Annie & Gav (Civil Ceremony Party) 29 Jun 2022
10/10

We are over the moon with the service and performance that James provided for our party.

He offered a wide mix of songs and genres which were a big crowd pleaser. He even went so far as to agree to cover a special song for us which he played for our entrance into a handfasting ceremony.

Communication in the run up to the party was informative and prompt and he was always pleasant to deal with. I would strongly recommend booking James for a special celebration.

David Sommerville (Race to the King) 14 Jun 2022
10/10

James was amazing to work with. Great before the event asking exactly what we were looking for and then performing throughout the day in some serious heat and playing some great tunes. The participants loved having him there to entertain them while having their lunch and enjoying the sun. I would highly recommend having James perform at your event, wedding or party. Thanks again James and look forward to working with you again.

Caz (Hen party) 24 May 2022
10/10

Booked for a hen party, James was kind & polite and nothing was too much trouble, even when we asked if he could move his full setup to a better spot for us (oops!)
Absolutely great musician, he learned new songs especially for the hen including Spice Girls & he absolutely nailed them.
Great guy, and so talented - I would recommend to anyone, and would use him again if we didn’t live so far away from where we held the hen party!

Alice S (Hen party) 20 May 2022
10/10

I booked James to play at my sisters hen party last weekend and he was absolutely fantastic! We had a brilliant time! James was excellent from start to finish. Extremely talented musician and he got everyone up on their feet dancing! We loved it! He even went to the effort of learning and performing my sisters favourite songs to make the event extra special. Would 100% recommend and encourage booking!

Faye (Wedding) 16 May 2022
10/10

James was most kind, professional and attentive and of course his natural unbelievable musical talent you could see oozed with so much passion. James made our day so unbelievably special from playing at our ceremony to playing during the day for our guests while enjoying reception drinks and canapes. He was just perfect. I cannot highly recommend James enough - very talented man. We are already thinking of what we can book James for next just as an excuse to hear him play again. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts - with love - The Brown's

James Ridley (Wedding) 5 May 2022

James is an amazing artist/live performer and to top it off a super friendly and nice bloke . I had seen him perform live a few times prior to the wedding and was very happy he was available for the big day. Highly recommend!!!!

Brad&Amy (Wedding) 22 Mar 2022

James was outstanding on our wedding day. He was smarty dressed and so many of our guests commented on how good he was. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending him to any one. Defiantly has that uniqueness to he’s music. Thanks again James

Carrie Joseph (Private Wedding) 13 Dec 2021

James went out of his way to learn our first dance song and performed it to perfection. Nothing was too much trouble for him. Not only is he an amazing singer and a lovely person he is a pretty sharp dresser! All of our guests commented on his talents and we feel privileged to have had him there as part of our special day.

Charlie Disney (Vow renewal) 7 Nov 2021

Exceptional! Outstanding! Would book James every week to just listen to. Incredible playlist and covered songs we requested which sounded better than originals.

Sarah Drummond (My 40th Birthday) 1 Nov 2021
10/10

From start to finish James was incredible. So friendly and kind and super easy to work with. I loved spending the evening with my hubby putting my song choices together and getting excited for the party…so many to choose from! I was really worried when we arrived at the bar that we wouldn’t get a party vibe going however in such little time James had everyone on the dance floor. When I started looking for live music, I wanted more than just one singer but a whole band was too much, but James isn’t just a singer, they way he plays is way more than just singing, he creates so many other elements that you think you’re hearing a whole band. The night was perfect and that was down to this fab player. Look no further people…you’ve found your man! My only regret is not finding him when I booked the music for our wedding.

Thanks James for making my birthday so special x

Holly P (Wedding) 16 Sept 2021
10/10

James came to Bristol to perform at our wedding and he was absolutely fantastic! We had a great chat beforehand discussing songs he could play and how to organise the sets to reflect our music choices. He worked on some new arrangements for us, at our request, and included a last minute 'happy birthday' arrangement too for our guests. He was amazing when we had to reschedule the wedding (twice!) and was speedy in communications in the build up to the final date. On the day, James continued to be fantastic. Everyone loved his music and he really got the party started! Friends have already asked for his contact details to have him at their events. My favourite part? His cover of the Hot Chip version of Dancing in the Dark to wrap up the live music. Thanks so much James, you made sure our day was memorable!

Heather Foney (Golden Wedding Garden Party) 3 Sept 2021
10/10

Please look no further than James. Booking someone to perform at an event, when you haven't previously heard them live, is always going to be a risk, my husband and I were anxious, this booking was going to make or break the party.
Well no fears were necessary at all, from start to finish James was so professional. Superb communication before the party re play lists and what type of music we were into so that he could include our favourites, even though not on his extensive playlist. He was also so accommodating as to timings, in short nothing was too much trouble for him. Our guests thought he was great as we did, James is a super talented musician with a lovely voice and we are just so happy to have found him. Book him, you won't be disappointed!

Kelsey and Jamie (Wedding) 5 Aug 2021
10/10

James came and performed for almost 2 hours at our wedding, and he went down a storm. He absolutely smashed it out the park with our requests from his extensive repertoire, and went a over and beyond to learn a new song for our first dance.
James was one of the highlights of our day and we'd highly recommend him for any other event or gig!

Lynda Johnson (Neil's 60 th birthday bash) 23 Jun 2021

James was top class from booking to performance. We wanted to add some atmosphere to a garden party stag and James set went down a treat. A brilliant variety of songs from different eras and genres which he also allowed us to pre select some from his repitore. A great talent and lovely guy. Would highly recommend and will book again. Thanks James!!!

What a great night! Thanks for singing live at my husbands 50th birthday. A wonderful evening, we enjoyed your music selection inspired by my husbands playlist. Your friendliness and professionalism surpassed our expectations and we will definitely recommend you. Thanks again and I hope we have the chance to use you again in the future.

We stumbled across James playing in a pub in East London (and loved his music) and then when we decided to get married we asked him to play. Everybody said how amazing he was. We had lots of communication before re music choices . We couldn’t have asked for more . He helped take the day extra special .

Hannah Power (Wedding) 28 Aug 2019
10/10

James played at our Wedding in August and I can honestly say his snippets online don't do him justice. All our guests were so impressed and we had lots of compliments on how good he was. James is also very professional and organised from initial enquiry all the way through to the actual day - we can't wait to book him again!

George rumbold (Wedding) 28 Jul 2019
10/10

I booked James for my friends wedding. From start to finish he was absolutely amazing and made everyone’s post reception drinks taste that much better. Couldn’t of asked for a better musician to see us through the afternoon he really was brilliant. Would highly recommend. Once again thank you James

Rosie Mitchell (Wedding) 19 Jun 2019
10/10

We first saw James at a friends wedding reception and spent the whole time listening to him and straight away we knew we wanted to book him for our own. Our guests loved him. Thought he was unique and played a great range of music. As a bride planning a wedding James was easy to correspond with and made it all very easy to book him for the day. Can not recommend James enough!!!

Carolyn (40th birthday) 31 May 2019
10/10

James is so talented! We were overwhelmed by how good he was. James was so professional and so easy to deal with right from when we contacted him to play at our party to the day itself. I went through every song on his playlist and chose my favourites and I was blown away by how beautifully he performed them. Our friends are still talking about him. James you were so patient with our 9 year old nephew answering all of his questions on your break - that was over and above, thankyou. James we hope we see you again.

Lo Fowler (70th birthday party) 4 Sept 2018
10/10

James made the afternoon for us, James is incredibly talented and hardworking, so professional and amazingly easy to do business with. Can’t thank James enough and hope he will say yes again to playing at ours in the future. James ability to fit right in with our 55 guests and keep them entertained was a weight of off my shoulders. Communicating with James was so easy via email and then on the day nothing was too much trouble. The playlist James created for my dads 70th birthday party was truly wonderful.

Mr & Mrs Ambler (Wedding reception/Barn venue Isle of Wight) 8 Aug 2018
10/10

Absolutely fantastic! James travelled to Barton Manor Barn on the Isle of Wight for our Wedding reception. James was not only professional, on time, looked the part etc but his music is fab and absolutely made our Wedding, which was held in a Country Barn with family and friends. James liaised effortlessly with the catering staff, registrar and guests to ensure that he was positioned so that everyone had the utmost enjoyment from his music, without being intrusive. He moved his entire set/equipment several times as the weather was not kind on our big day, meaning changes to our original plans. His vocals are great and music repertoire unlike any I have heard before, and should we ever have the occasion to require music again on the Isle of Wight or within his travelling distance we would definitely book again! Thank you James!!
Best wishes The Amblers

Jenny Ball (Social event) 30 Jun 2018
10/10

James supported our Association Dinner at our National Sailing Championships in Weymouth. He was fantastic and everyone was really positive. Audience age ranged from 14 to at least 84 - so not easy to appeal to everyone but James managed this really well. Would definitely recommend and would definitely book again.

Shelley Cole (private party) 9 Apr 2018
10/10

James was excellent and added an extra dimension to our party. He was incredibly entertaining and very talented, all our guests commented on how impressed they were with him and his music. James does a really interesting twist on lots of music genres and I could listen to him again and again.
He was also a real pleasure to deal with both during the booking process and on the night and was very keen to ensure the playlist was what we wanted, even learning several new songs which are favourites of mine. I would not hesistate to recommend James or book him again, just need another excuse for a party now!

J Stubbs (Private Party) 6 Nov 2017
10/10

James is an excellent musician with a wealth of abilities. He recently played at a private party we hosted at our house and left a very positive impression on all our guests, many asking for his details for future bookings. James was very polite and great at communicating what he could offer prior to our event and most definitely delivering everything you could ask for on the night. We very much hope we can book him again as he was a pleasure to listen to. We would highly recommend him as he played a large role in the success of our evening celebrations. Very many thanks James, you're a star!

Mike Simpson (Wedding) 25 Oct 2017

We booked James within a few weeks of our wedding and could not be happier to have done so! James was a true gent and an excellent musician. He was very accommodating with set times and with any requests for songs. He really got the party started and all of our guests said how much they enjoyed him. I would recommend to anyone. Thank you James!

Music is something that is very important to both of us, and James was just fantastic. It was exactly what we wanted and more! His creative takes on well known songs got us boogying even whilst we were having our photos taking. Thank you James for adding that special touch to our day.

Thank you both so much for inviting to me to play at your lovely wedding! It was such a privilege to be asked to play as part of the ceremony, and I had a great time entertaining your guests at the reception as well. Wishing you both all the very best, James

Fantastic from start to finish! Great communication from the beginning and more than accommodating with music selection etc...

James was a true gent and what a performance!It completely made our day having him playing with his amazing voice at our beautiful wedding venue. James was so accommodating when the timings didn't go to plan on the day,what an absolute diamond!

I can't put in to words how amazing James was at our wedding not only was he a wonderful performer but also an absolute pleasure to deal with. He completely made our wedding reception by creating the best atmosphere, to be stood outside our wedding venue and hearing all your guests singing and clapping is somthing that is just priceless to us. all of our guests said James was amazing, at least 2 other couples asked for his details so they could also book James. The songs he sang were great and he put his own unique twist on them. We honestly can't thank him enough for making our wedding day perfect.

I asked James to play at our wedding as part of the wedding breakfast. It was a surprise for my (now) husband & wow, what a surprise. He was amazing & everyone commented on how much they enjoyed listening to him. James was very accommodating, especially as I found him at the last minute. Thank you James, you helped to make our day really special.

I would definitely hire him again and highly recommend him to all! Thank you again james xxx

Tony Parker (Family gathering) 23 Jul 2017
10/10

I hired James to perform at a family garden party with about 70 guests. We spoke on the telephone prior to the party and he took details of what the occasion was about and various other pieces of information which gave him a good feel for the event before it happened. He turned up precisely on time and set his equipment up before guests arrived. He was dressed in contemporary style and looked every part the rock star. He then, in the most inspired manner, welcomed my guests and introduced himself over the microphone. I am a musician and I can therefore categorically say that James is a mucisian of the highest talent. It was a sunny day and it was hot. His first set lasted 2 hours by which time he had enthralled all my guests with his skill on guitar, his profound knowledge of pedals and loops, his excellent singing voice and range but, above all, his personality which came over like a tsunami of warmth and personality. James is an absolute dude and his contribution to my garden party was immense. He is a considerate and caring person and the complete professional. He looks the part and is the part and my guests warmed to him, asked for requests and sang along. Organising a large party is a lot of work, but James took much of the worry of my shoulders by his microphone manner and the amazing quality of his performance. I would use him again in a heartbeat and so should you. Tony Parker, Highview House, West End.

Thank you so much for having me at your amazing event Tony! It truly was a pleasure to be a part of, and thank you again for being such a wonderful host. Very generous of you for leaving such a lovely review too! :) Many thanks and all the very best to you and Jo. James
Abi & Adrian Cator (Wedding) 16 Jul 2017

We booked James from the last minute musicians website for our wedding. He played for over 2 hours for our guests during the early evening and played a huge part in the success of our day. His own chosen repertoire of covers and original tracks was perfectly picked, all delivered in his own unique and brilliant style. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking to book a musician for any special event. He has definitely collected some followers after our wedding, many of whom I'm sure, like us will be appearing at his forthcoming gigs in and around the local area.

Reply from James Tattington [Singer/Guitarist]
Thank you very much for your support Abi and Adrian - it was such a pleasure to be a part of your wedding! It really meant a lot that you had requested some of my original songs as well and seeing you guys dancing along to some of those was really special for me as well! Thank you for inviting me to be a part of such a wonderful occasion and I may well see you guys at a gig soon! Best wishes, James

James is such a joy to listen to. His style is so original and his skill with sound and foot pedals amazed everyone. Lots of our guests asked us who James was and how we found him as they were so impressed with the music at the party. In addition, James was really good at communicating with us before the party to discuss arrangements and favorite songs. I would definitely book him again and really recommend him.

Reply from James Tattington [Singer/Guitarist]
Thanks so much Michelle, I'm really glad to hear everyone enjoyed it, and thank you very much for the recommendation! All the best to you and Tom, James

We booked James after listening to his sample tracks on this website - we wanted live entertainment even though we had a small wedding venue and only 40 guests. James didn't disappoint! He is hugely versatile and entertaining, and everyone was impressed with his performances (he did two sets for us). James is an amazing musician. He was really accommodating of all our song requests and our first dance song was just perfect.

Thanks so much, James! You topped off our day just perfectly!

Reply from James Tattington [Singer/Guitarist]
Thank you very much for your kind words Claire! I'm so glad you and your guests enjoyed the music, and thank you for being a lovely audience! Wishing you and James all the very best and thank you for booking me to be a part of your wedding celebrations!
