Hi Roland,
 
I hope you’re well!

It’s a little overdue, but I wanted to say a big thank you for performing with us on 8th August. August is usually a quieter month for us, so we weren’t particularly busy that evening, but every guest who came in had such lovely things to say about you and your performance. The whole team really enjoyed it too!

We’d absolutely love to have you back, so I wanted to ask whether you might be available to perform with us on New Year’s Eve this year.

Please let me know if you’re available and, if so, we can discuss the details.

Hope to hear from you soon!

Best,
 
Seyda CAKIR

We couldn't have asked for a better singer and guitarist for my boyfriend's 30th! He was absolutely amazing and captured the atmosphere of the room so perfectly. He took on board everything I had briefed him on, especially the kind of music my boyfriend loves, and chose songs that fit the occasion perfectly.
He was a pleasure to work with from start to finish - incredibly professional, responsive, reliable and, above all, such a lovely person. He really helped make the evening so special, and we couldn't recommend him highly enough!

I wanted to write and say what a pleasure it was having Roly Stimpson playing at my & my sons’ joint birthday party last Saturday 29 August. Roly was a real feature of the whole event, with many guests coming up to me & my wife Bonnie to say how fantastic he was. My boys Archie & Milo now also have a new hero (!) and Roly has provided true inspiration in terms of their own musical aspirations.

I will be recommending Rollo Sessions to friends & colleagues alike given the quality of the musical set last weekend. For me, it was a combination of Roly’s warm personality, friendly crowd interaction, and of course immense talent as a guitar player and singer, that truly stood out.

Thank you again & I’m sure I’ll be seeing Roly at future events soon.

Best wishes

Tom Calnan (extremely satisfied customer)!

Roland played at my Dad’s wife’s 60th birthday. There was a rare old mix of ages present, & Roland played EXACTLY the right combination of songs. His voice was spot on, his playing was spot on, & his whole performance was… SPOT ON!!

We hired Roland for background music, & he delivered beautifully! I’d thoroughly recommend him for any parties, weddings & pub garden events where a full band might be ‘a touch much’

Roland was absolutely the right choice & I’m gutted I forgot to record any of it, because he really was fantastic.

Rollo was a fantastic addition to our wedding day. He was professional, prompt, and everything from booking to the performance was smooth and hassle free. Many of our guests commented on how good he was, and how perfectly he captured the right vibe that we wanted to create for our cocktail hour. He was super friendly, offered to learn a few special songs for us, and even joined us for some cake and the speeches! Would highly, highly recommend!

It was an absolute pleasure to have Rollo come and play at the Highwayman. Booking was straightforward and he was highly professional. Of course the music was absolutely fabulous and went down so well with our guests. We look forward to having him back again soon.

I will keep an eye out for you on gigpig, we look forward to having you back.
Cheers,
Alex

We wanted to say a massive thank you for your incredible performance at The Cricketers a couple of weeks ago! You absolutely nailed the music selection, read the crowd perfectly and created such a lovely, vibrant atmosphere in our pub garden. Everyone loved you and we've already secured you for future events.
Can't wait to have you back!

All the best,

Thank you Rollo for performing at my mums surprise 60th birthday party at such last minute!! Everyone throughly enjoyed your sets and said how brilliant you were. There were lots of songs we could all sing along and dance to. Thanks for accepting some requests that I knew my mum would enjoy! We will recommend you to our friends and give you a shout for any future parties.

We engaged Roland for our mum and twin sisters 90th birthday…
Right from the start we felt confident that Roland would deliver an amazing and memorable day for us and he absolutely smashed it. Right from the start our 90 year old mums/ aunts were up dancing to songs from their era growing up in the 50’s and 60’s
Roland has a wonderful voice and an eclectic repertoire
He kept the party buzzing and injected so much psssion too
Right from the start was to deal with in terms of the booking and our requirements
I recommend Roland to any event where you want great singing music class style and sheer talent

We’ve had Roly perform for us several times now at The Gate in Sawbridgeworth and he has fast become one of our favourite acts! He literally sings everything and anything! So adaptable to the crowd in front of him, his ability to read the room is brilliant! I have no hesitation in recommending Roly for any occasion.

Roly came to Paternoster House Care home and held a wonderful performance. All of our residents throughly enjoyed the great songs that were sung and we look forwardnto seeing him again in the near future

Roland was amazing, turned up on time and sung all of our favourite requests! Will definitely be using him again, really professional and tailored the music well for the audience at the time!
