Josh was superb. He played at my 40th and got everyone dancing and singing. Would thoroughly recommend and he even got booked by a friend for his 40th off the back of his performance. Will definately book again. Thanks so much Josh

We had Josh play at our wedding, he was amazing! He covers such an array of music and it’s all brilliant, he sounds even better live than he does on his online clips somehow, highly recommend!

We hired Josh for my 50th birthday party! Great communication pre event and in the lead up/on the day.
Fantastic performance, playlist and so many people commented on how good he was and that they’d enjoyed his set list.
Thank you so much!

Josh was brilliant. Super versatile and really professional. This was the second time that he had sung at an event for us and it definitely won’t be the last. From accommodating some strange requests to fully engaging with the partygoers, he made our event extra special. Would highly recommend.

Josh played at our pre wedding cocktail reception and was excellent. Communication was great and small requests that we had were managed with no problem. The setlist/music hit the tone of the evening perfectly - and it goes without saying Josh is an excellent musician. Book without hesitation.

Josh played an acoustic set at our wedding drinks reception recently and he was absolutely great. We loved the set and the laid back mood he created, it was exactly what we’d hoped for. Everyone really enjoyed the music and so many of our guests commented on how great he was. Josh was the perfect addition to our day and we would highly recommend him.

We had the pleasure of welcoming Josh Smith to the Ramsbury RBL Club, and he absolutely smashed it! From start to finish, Josh delivered an amazing performance that had everyone up dancing and singing along. His vocals were spot-on, his setlist had something for everyone, and his energy really lifted the room.

Josh stepped in super last minute for our work summer party, thank you!! He was brilliant, he played loads of happy upbeat tunes and finished with the crowd pleasers, just what everyone needed after a free bar on a boat for 3 hours. I highly recommend him for any function and look forward to inviting him to perform at another one of our work parties :).

Josh was phenomenal for a very special family and friends party for my husbands 40th! He totally brought the perfect energy and got everyone off their seats to dance. I would book him again in a heartbeat. A real talent.

Josh was excellent throughout. We asked him to sing 2 songs before and after the ceremony and this sounded brilliant. He continued his set down for a further 2 hours during drinks and canapés. He had a great selection of music and all of our guests commented on how well they enjoyed his performance. Josh put his own personal touch to our perfect wedding day. We would definitely recommend him. Thanks so much 😊

Josh was amazing! We hired him to play at the drinks reception of our wedding and he gave an amazing vibe for the time our guests were outside the marquee. It really added to our wedding and we had so many compliments from our guests!

Josh was unreal — just him and his guitar, but he had the whole room hooked from the first note. His vibe was so chill but powerful, like he knew exactly how to read the crowd and pull everyone in. Proper talent and seriously captivating.

Absolutely 10/10 from Josh, for just one man and a guitar he completely smashed it. Fantastic voice and did a great job keeping the crowd entertained. I would recommend Josh to anybody looking for live music at an event he really was the highlight of our evening! I just need to find an excuse for another party so we can book him again!

Found Josh on this website which was very lucky as I wouldn’t have come across him!
He was brilliant getting everyone up in our small party, he was perfect entertainment for what we needed as well as having his own additional equipment to give the all round experience etc ! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone

Josh was incredible at our wedding!! He played a whole host of tunes throughout the afternoon for the perfect ambience and to get the reception started. He has such a beautiful voice and plays a wide range of songs. He is also the nicest, most chilled out guitarist - kept everyone calm and up beat throughout the day! Cracking musician and would definitely recommend.

Josh smith has been the most amazing musician throughout the years of me running the pub. He has carried those sad rainy Sundays, through to significant sunny Saturdays and by reading the crowd he has always managed to fill the room with customers, making memories with either family or close friends. Most importantly Josh is a joy to watch and sing along to. He’s always remains professional & this also shows in his creative posters and social media posts to engage my online views & followers. I couldn’t recommend him enough.

Josh Smith made our Ibiza wedding unforgettable! His heartfelt rendition of our first dance song was absolutely magical, setting a perfect tone for the evening. Then, he turned the energy up a notch with "Teenage Dirtbag," getting everyone on their feet and truly starting the party. Josh's talent and versatility as a performer are unmatched. Thank you, Josh, for making our special day even more amazing!

We were incredibly fortunate to have my cousin perform at our wedding, and he was nothing short of amazing! His incredible talent and energy had everyone on their feet, singing and dancing along. His performance was a highlight of our special day, creating unforgettable memories for us and our guests. His ability to connect with the audience and keep the energy high throughout the day was truly remarkable. We couldn't have asked for a better performer to make our wedding celebration so joyful and lively. Thank you for making our day so special!

Josh sang at our wedding and was truly amazing. He sang Eva Cassidy song bird as I walked down the aisle, bringing everyone to tears. Kept everyone entertained and provided a lovely atmosphere during our drinks reception. He also sang for our first dance wich for me made it even more special and memorable.
Josh has a beautiful voice and with his guitar and loop pedals can really put on a performance. Not only this but he is a lovely guy, very accommodating and trustworthy. I would highly recommend.

We’ve always enjoyed Josh’s music and have seen him lots of times in various venues around Newbury. He has a great voice, is a really talented guitarist and has a very varied set, ranging from quiet, soulful tracks to full on floor fillers. Josh played at our recent birthday party in our local pub and did not disappoint. He was the highlight of the afternoon and evening and had people on their feet and joining in by the end of the night. Everyone said how much they enjoyed his performance and how he’d made the event really special. We can’t recommend Josh highly enough, for big or small events - he’ll definitely make them as enjoyable as he did ours!

We had Josh perform at our barn wedding in July this year. As the bride, I felt that having Josh sing at our wedding really set the mood. As well as Him playing his set, there were very much moments of the day when having Josh play a song here and there made the itinerary run seamlessly.

Josh performed at our wedding back in May he was fantastic! Everyone was up dancing and singing along and he even let my cousin who performed earlier that night on the drums join in half way through and they made a performance that people are still talking about and carried on way past the time he should have!
Would highly recommend Josh for a wedding or event very versatile and plays music that everyone can get involved in!
Thanks Josh!!
