Reviews of Stephen F. Mone

I can’t recommend Stephen more as he brought everyone to the dancefloor and got us all singing. He performed at my 40th birthday party to rave reviews from all my family and friends. He has a huge array of songs he can play, even to the extent of taking requests on the fly and sounds even better than his online clips.- amazing live. Book him whilst you can.

Stephen played at my mum’s 60th birthday party last week and we all absolutely loved his performance. We booked last minute due to being let down by another singer. We took a punt as Stephen was not local to us but even with travel included it was such good value for the set he will give you. Stephen is fun, engaging and very talented. Highly recommend!!

I would highly recommend booking Stephen for any event you are having. He recently played at my 30th birthday party and was absolutely brilliant! The party was great because of his two sets and everyone present thought he was great. He was brilliant at playing any requests people gave him. I'm very glad I booked Stephen at my party and I'd recommend you do the same. Look forward to seeing you play again soon Stephen!

Stephen F. Mone is a dedicated musician and entertainer, he'd played the perfect setlist and he's very good with guests. He created some good bank holiday vibes and even set up outside which helped draw in the customers which we wish was the case with all the musicians that join us at Lost & Found. Multiple compliments from the punters means we'll certainly have him back!

Just wanted to tell you how much we appreciated you being at Riley’s first birthday gathering. She’s not used to all that attention from people but with you there she remained her happy curious little explorer self and didn’t get overwhelmed by the music. That meant so much. The music was just brilliant we loved what you played for us, and the chat in between was spot on. Feel very lucky that you were free that day, so thank you so much, you made her birthday something really very special!

Loved seeing Stephen and his band the Journeymen pop up throughout our cruise in the day time. We’ve never had this experience on any cruise holiday and it was always a nice surprise when they appeared putting a smile on everyone’s faces. It's nice to see talented artists like him take the time to give a fantastic show and then separately speak to everyone before and after the performance to make sure all are enjoying themselves. Top class gentleman and even better musician, thanks again Stephen!

Stephen F. Mone absolutely made our holiday! Every single set has been unreal and his on stage presence is like he's entertained for decades. Can’t wait to see where he goes in life, it’s definitely gonna be far!

Stephen and The Collective are absolutely brilliant. We have watched them both in the Exchange Bar and the Squid and Anchor. To think that they have been together just 3 weeks is unbelievable. Stephen as a musician is very adaptable, he can play pretty much anything and provide fantastic entertainment and has great charisma. Keep it up please - you’re amazing!

We went to an immersive show called The Heist on Marella Voyager and it was an absolutely incredible experience. Didn't quite know what to expect, but we haven't belly-laughed to that extent for such a long time, and all of the staff were simply Stephen played the double-bass in the band which came in to play during the show. He switched instruments between the big huge violin and the guitar and sang his heart out as well as being very entertaining on top of being a top-class musician. Fabulously talented, engaging and hilariously comical. Keep up the really fantastic work - entertainment at its very best.

The Collective are a brilliant band. Just brilliant. It’s just the type of thing people want. Stephen knows how to play with the audience and he just creates a feel-good vibe whenever the band are playing, whether it's in the group or on his own in the champagne bar or on the pool deck. I think they should be the No.1 act on Marella Voyager in any of the onboard bars and venues. Considering they’ve only been together a week, I think they are incredibly good. Like a fine wine they can only get better!

I saw Stephen playing as part of The Collective who were by far our favourite band on the Marella fleet. Stephen, Reece and James have been great guys and an amazing group who we would come back to see every cruise! Top lads and great musicians. Stephen did some solo sets which were peppered with original songs and covers all through his looping kit. I'd love to see them again on the other Marella ships. Thanks for making our cruise so enjoyable lads!

Lots of love from BK, hope to see you soon!

Had Stephen play at a joint birthday and he was brill! Played all our requests (even ones not on his set list) and is such a talented guitarist!
One of the other birthday boys gave him revised lyrics to sing over Country Roads in the flavour of Wakefield and West Yorkshire where we grew up which was special but he also kept the dance floor with plenty of different tunes for all our families and friends.
Couldn't recommend him more for any private event in need of some top class entertainment! Thanks again from Adam and Jack and Joe!

Thank you so much for entertaining all our guests at our wedding reception Stephen. It was lovely having an Irish musician and entertainer as it made my family and I feel at home (as well as educating my new family on how we do things back on the other side of the Irish Sea 🤣) Thanks again for making our day so special!

Fantastic guitarist and singer! Performed for my birthday, got everyone on there feet dancing and singing.
Would certainly recommend!! See you at the next event Stephen!

Thanks for playing our engagement party Stephen - the sets you played judged the crowd brilliantly! I just couldn’t imagine you doing ‘Come on Eileen’ and ‘Saturday Night’ 😂 but you knocked it out of the park! Everyone was so impressed with you and I’m thankful for you taking the gig on - until next time!

Saw Stephen at the Tree House in Selby, fantastic entertainer and great show. He was also really helpful when he was unable to play at my dad's party - sorted someone else for me and couldn't do enough to help - get him booked as early as you can - i've missed out on him a couple of times since he get's so far booked in advance!

Great entertainer 👏 👌 👍. Got to be one of the best life musicians I had the pleasure to listen in our local pub. Good understanding of audience, to the point of even playing requests they shouted up to him. Overall, a very pleasant evening thanks to you.

Stephen played at my pub for a St Patrick's Day celebration.
He was fantastic and kept the crowd going. Couldn't ask for more!
Thank you Stephen. See you again soon ☘🍻

We booked the amazing Stephen F. Mone for our wedding in August 2021. From our first messages we knew he was the right choice (very funny and down to earth).
Our special requests were easily accommodated including a slower ‘Live Lounge’ version of our first dance song and comprehensive song list.
Dance floor was full all night and lots of guests commented how good Stephen was especially ‘Discoland’.
Thanks so much would recommend to anyone and look forward to seeing a local set soon!

We booked Stephen to Play a friends Wake and it made the night, Brilliant music and atmosphere and the Guy can sing... .. Stephen would suit any down to earth, vibrate pub atmosphere, no matter what you are celebrating. 😁

Recently had Stephen playing at my daughters hen party. He was absolutely fabulous.
Played a variety of music and everyone up dancing and singing, some of the girls even did a duet with him!
He would play any requests thrown at him and he had good banter with all the girls.
Sadly, he wasn't not single so couldn't take any of the loud ones away with him.
He’s very professional and came with large speakers etc. I would definitely recommend!!
Thanks Stephen for a wonderful afternoon! <3

Great guy, brilliant singer.
Absolute pleasure to be entertained by Stephen ❤️

Absolutely amazing multi-talented gent!

Great voice, excellent selection of songs (including his own!), how professional he plays the guitar, the gift for jokes and getting people together.
We asked Stephen to come to our restaurant and he did a brilliant job, made everyone welcome and curated cosy, fun and relaxed atmosphere for our customers.

Super highly recommended!

Thank you so much once again! 🎉🎉🎉

What a party!

What a journey!

Stephen played at a big birthday bash in September and was nothing short of bloody brilliant.
HIs song selection matched the crowd mix; his engagement between songs and sets had us all involved in the performance and best of all, he's super-talented !!
If you get a chance to book Stephen for your gig or party then get on to him it straight away; our family and friends are still sending us notes and videos of Stephen's sets.

Superb.

Stephen played some good tunes and kept asking punters for requests. He was friendly and outgoing enough to approach people who come out for the laidback Sunday sessions and find out personally if he could play songs for them specially. He adds an extra dimension with his personality on top of his musicianship and looping skills. I'm just glad none of them asked for any Oasis - thank god! Hope to see "The Mone And Only" back again soon.

I wish I could muster up a complaint in regards to Stephen just to keep him modest. His music and entertainment were spot on for us. He created a good atmosphere and had great interaction with the customers, we'll have him in again I think!

Stephen played music for us at our local in Sheffield, he really lifted the mood on a Sunday and made a great contrast to the usual 'cookie-cutter' guitar singers we usually encounter. Great variety and fantastic sense of humour to boot!

Stephen played for my guests at a night before wedding dinner celebration and he absolutely blew us away with his music and personality. We were all up dancing for hours and singing along to the songs. This was a true highlight of the wedding and can not thank him enough!

We had a garden party for my 30th birthday on Saturday and Stephen absolutely made it. From learning new songs, to taking random requests on the day, he completely exceeded our expectations. Everyone was up dancing and singing along, the atmosphere was amazing. I would 100% recommend him to anyone.

We had the pleasure of having Stephen perform at our annual Summer Party this year and he was fantastic from beginning to end!! Very entertaining (he even accommodated some of our more 'colourful' song requests!) and we had so many great comments from the guests! Thanks again Stephen 🥳

I hired Stephen for my best friend’s surprise 50th birthday party! Stephen was extremely professional but also incredibly witty and funny during his set between songs! He had us all in hysterics! 😆 I got to choose the songs he played from a very varied play list which was brilliant! His singing and guitar playing were fantastic! We were all blown away by him & he far exceeded all my expectations in every way! 💯 recommend him without reservation! Superb! Thanks again Stephen!!

I booked Stephen for my sister’s 30th garden party and he was amazing. The atmosphere was buzzing as soon as he started to play and got everyone in the mood to sing and dance. I would definitely recommend booking Stephen, can’t thank him enough for making her birthday so special. Thank you again.

Stephen played at our gender reveal yesterday and it really made our day truly special. Our guests all commented on what lovely touch he was to the day. Every song we requested was played and I would definitely recommend him to anyone who’s wanting to add some music to their event.
Thank you for being a part of our day.

I has the pleasure of being on Marella Voyager and Stephen was ne if the musicians playing in a band called The Collective ,He is a very versatile musician and okays bass and guitar and has a great voice, he also did a few solo sets which were amazing

Stephen was great! Arrived on time, prepared a song, which is not really from his list or style - but has been important for me and my partner. Everything else been great too, songs requests, friendliness, charm and of course amazing voice and how is he working on the guitars!
Thank you very much again for helping to make a birthday surprise for my partner!

Stephen performed at our birthday party in Wakefield last night and what more can we say apart from you were absolutely amazing!
We booked Stephen not really knowing what to expect and we couldn’t have been happier. Your play list suited all and everyone was blown away with your talent.
If anyone needs a great singer/ guitarist for any occasion then book Stephen, we really can’t recommend him enough. He’s so easy to work with, in fact a truly genuine nice

Stephen was AMAZING at our garden party. He was a trooper and even took requests for songs he'd never heard of or played before and then sounded like he'd played them forever. We all had so much fun singing along and dancing to what he came up with, highly recommend and we can't wait to have him back.

Stephen was absolutely fantastic from start to finish at our wedding, everyone loved him! Unbelievably talented, played all our requests, so friendly and would 10000000% recommend him and use him again for future events!!!

Stephen was amazing at my husband’s surprise 40th birthday party! He is so professional, talented and has a great sense of humour. We didn’t want him to leave! Our guests commented on how great he was too. He played all our requests and even played and sang songs that he'd never played before the party. I would highly recommend and we will be definitely using him again. Thank you so much Stephen. An absolute top guy.

Thanks so much Stephen! You have a fantastic talent and made our night perfect. We've waited a long time to be together as a group so I think the lockdown had affected us more than we thought ?? I have recommended you to everyone that came as well as a few people who have their own events coming up so hopefully playing random requests like Cliff Richard's Summer Holiday gives good karma... ? I am excited to see what the future holds for you!

Stephen F. Mone was a really professional, entertaining and funny performer. Helped create a great night- regularly listening to his original songs too!

Excellent night! Great choice of music. Varied, appropriate and fun. Cheers mate!

Magical night with Stephen F. Mone. He made our special night truly wonderful and fun with his humour, beautiful voice and great talent on the guitar!

Stumbled in to The Milton Arms on 5th of May with some friend by chance and saw Stephen playing in the pub. The quality of his musicianship was excellent and the whole pub was bouncing. We couldn't help but stick around for both his sets! Can't wait to see him soon in Chapeltown I hope!

I thought Stephen was amazing! Honestly, just brilliant. Saw him at a friend's birthday and had to let him know! Didn't know what to expect as i'm so used to tribute acts and karaoke singers. Hope to see you Wakey direction soon Stephen.x

We get a massive variety of artists playing at the bar nearly every weekend of the year but tonight wasn't like all the rest. Stephen's playing tonight (15th December) was just stellar, everyone's really enjoyed everything he sang . He's among the best we've had in the bar - a great guitar player, fantastic singer and very humble about his talents. We're definitely having him back (not for the punters though, we're gonna get him to perform at our staff do in January!) Great tunes, great banter and great fun. Looking forward to our duet sometime Mr. Mone, eh?! ;D

I was in the Ring o'Bells Hungry Horse Saturday night last thought you were really good! Something different that the place needed, don't leave it too long before your return.

Stephen performed at our birthday party in Wakefield last night and what more can we say apart from “you were absolutely amazing!"
We booked Stephen not really knowing what to expect and we couldn’t have been happier. Your play list suited all and everyone was blown away with you talent. If anyone needs a great singer/guitarist for any occasion then book Stephen, we really can’t recommend him enough. He’s so easy to work with, in fact a truly genuine nice guy.

Thanks Lee & Jane.x

Stephen did a fantastic job singing and playing and well... entertaining! He really got the crowd going, especially when we usually have full bands on. He's definitely going to have to come back! Perfect, thanks Stephen. We'll see you again soon!

We had a garden party in celebration of our Golden Wedding Anniversary on the 21st July and our guests were over a wide age range ( not all old fuddy duddies) .Stephen had a huge repertoire of music which he delivered with style and skill; he entertained the whole group with a mixture of songs from start to finish. He entertained us almost non stop for 4 hours and was worth every penny.
A delightful young man who we would definitely highly recommend for any occasion and celebration.

My wife and I saw Stephen F. Mone playing on 28/07 at the Qube cocktail bar and restaurant at Burntwood Court. Before we clocked eyes on him singing we thought it was a CD playing! The quality and variety of music was excellent and very entertaining. I had to stop him afterwards and let him know how good he actually was and he was a really modest young gentleman with a great sense of humour! I hope he gets around a bit more since I wouldn't mind seeing him again, top notch stuff! Thanks for a great night!

Stephen Mone is a fantastic Irish singer and songwriter and musician, he offers a range of songs including plenty of his own and the top 40s. Would highly recommend.

A big shout out to Stephen!! What an amazing singer and guitarist. He is an incredible talent!! We had a fantastic time at The New Inn. What a brilliant night!!! Would have absolutely no problem recommending him for parties weddings etc etc!! Thank you x

Stephen played at our wedding at Hazel gap barn in March and was absolutely fantastic! He played a wide range of songs, was happy to take requests and really got the party started! We can't thank you enough for helping make our evening reception so fantastic! :)

Stephen, thank you so much for Saturday night. You were amazing and really made my night. Everyone commented on how fantastic you were and they were absolutely right. Your mix of music was fab and had everyone on their feet. I couldn’t have asked for better entertainment on the night. Thanks again.

Stephen came in to entertain for a function booked in the restaurant. The guests all had a great time and asked if we'd booked him but we were happy to accept plenty of compliments on his behalf for him. He played a great variety of tunes that had the whole of the dancefloor going and he was inundated with requests for some rather contemporary songs but still delivered, needless to say - I grabbed his card to make sure I could refer more parties to him! Wicked sense of humour, great entertainer and we'd love to have him back here at No.1 The Crescent in Selby!

I booked Stephen for a charity gig I was hosting on good Friday and I have to say it was brilliant! Stephen was an excellent performer and kept all my guests entertained throughout the night! I would definitely recommend him to friends and family and I would use him again for any events I do in the future! Thanks Stephen

We had Stephen play on Friday night and i'd say he was better than probably most singers that come in and entertain for us. He seemed to play absolutely everything! A party we had in moved from the back of the pub just to hear him play their requests from Irish ballads to Erasure (which was one of my favourites). Fantastic variety and an amazing performance, hope to see you back soon Stephen!

This guy is amazing!!!
Really gifted singer and plays beautifully!!
Created a great atmosphere in our small venue , would also be great in lager. Came with sensible amount of gear and set up quickly . Thank you . 100%

We had Stephen in on a Saturday night and it was great to see someone who can really sing- and play guitar as well which is a bonus! We had plenty of young and older customers up dancing when he was performing, whereas at the same certain part of the night they'd be up and leaving with 'usual' acts we've had in. Absolutely will keep in mind for future dates, a pleasure to have in on the weekend. Cheers Stephen.

Thanks for playing Stephen, enjoyed your sets and wonderful singing. We really enjoyed your Irish sets and only wish that there was more of it! There were songs you played that some of us didn't even like beforehand but quickly changed our opinions with your renditions, 'Must Be Love' by Madness was a good one. Shame you were already booked for St. Patrick's Day! Thanks again! :)

We had Stephen play Paul's retirement party based off a referral from another musician. He asked us if there were any songs we would have liked in advance and booked the date in quickly for us. On the night, I had received plenty of compliments from our party guests, friends and family asking about him, and many more asking for his details. He played for nearly the whole evening tirelessly and had even taken some requests on the spot. Would definitely recommend him to anyone. Thanks again Stephen! :)

Stephen was very entertaining and I want to book him in the near future. Excellent songs and good fun to watch performing live.

I totally and unreservedly recommend Stephen, not only his he awesome on vocals and guitar he's also wicked funny.

Absolutely great guy brilliant singer and entertains all, came and sang in my garden for my husbands party all our family and friends loved him amazing.

Seen Stephen a few times live, he never fails to entertain with his impressive guitar playing and versatile song list. Great guy and musician!
