The Accordionist was friendly, prompt and arranged for the song choices to be played at our event. I would definitely not hesitate to book him gain in the future and have since recommended him to others.

Jonny Kerry played at our wedding in July with his brother on guitar - and they were absolutely perfect. They are talented musicians that play incredible music and overall create a wonderful relaxed atmosphere. They have also been a pleasure to work with in the lead up- relaxed and professional. I would recommend them to anyone.
Thanks again guys!

Jonny was friendly, prompt and arranged for the song choices to be played at our event. I would definitely not hesitate to book him gain in the future and have since recommended him to others.

Jonny Kerry played the accordion at a French style party we made. He played beautifully and managed to set the mood perfectly. He was punctual and reliable Highly recommended!

We hired Jonny Kerry to play accordian at our wedding during when the canapés and drinks were served. He was absolutely brilliant!!! My husband and I (and our guests) thought he was amazing! He played great songs and really helped create the vibe we were looking for.
On a side note, I really appreciated how reliable Jonny was, he did everything he said he would, was contactable and really put our minds at ease. I would 100% recommend Jonny and also book him again. Thanks so much :)

From the moment I first got in touch with Jonny, he has been brilliant. Answered all our questions by email swiftly.

On the day of the event Jonny was there for when he said he would be ready for the guests to arrive and played superbly. The guests absolutely loved hearing him play and many have commented how impressed they were at hearing an accordion playing at the wedding. I highly recommend Jonny Kerry.

Incredible welcome from Jonny at our wedding reception in Norfolk! He had the guests up and dancing in the sunshine. Just fabulous!!

Jonny recently played at my grandad funeral. He was amazing. Considering the circumstances of the day he was a true gentleman and very professional. The songs he played was so perfect my Grandad would of been so proud. Would highly recommend.

Jonny played at my wedding drinks reception, he did a fantastic job. The playlist he selected was exactly what I wanted and covered many genres, perfect for my big day! I would highly recommend Jonny, he is incredibly talented and all of my guests enjoyed his music, thanks again for helping to make my day so amazing.

Unfortunately being the bride I missed part of Jonny's performance however my groom and guests have assured me he played beautifully. Jonny played for our guests before the ceremony, during the ceremony and our drinks reception. He played everything he said he would and it sounded absolutely wonderful.
I had concerns about which pieces of music (especially played with an accordion) would be suitable for the ceremony itself and Jonny sent me sound clips of his suggested pieces. He did not disappoint, in fact I was so relived to have booked him, he settled my nerves from the moment we spoke as I'd had nightmares of iPods and sound systems letting me down.
Jonny gave us the best of both worlds, a classical sound for the ceremony and more upbeat accordion music for the drinks reception. Again, our guests absolutely loved it, they were rather disappointed we hadn't booked him for the whole day.
Booking and arrangements were hassle free and very straightforward and Jonny's requirements were easily accommodated, a chair and power socket.
I would highly recommend him to anyone considering booking an accordionist, worth every penny.

Jonny is a very talented accordionist who helped give our Beaujolais Nouveau - French themed evening the atmosphere it needed to really pull off a wonderful event. I would highly recommend him and in particular for this style of event.

Jonny was just fantastic at setting the mood for our evening wedding party to celebrate our wedding which took place in Tuscany earlier in the year. The accordion was the perfect sound to take everyone back to the warmth of the Italian sun even on a cold November evening in England!
We had lots of compliments on how great he was, so thank you!

Jonny was excellent and would not hesitate in booking him again.

We booked Jonny for our Italian themed wedding in July and he was absolutely amazing! He learnt a new song for the bridal walk down the aisle and communication with Jonny in the lead up to the wedding was second to none. Jonny made our day really special and we couldn’t recommend him highly enough!

Jonny was excellent. His music created a really nice, relaxed atmosphere for our drinks reception and many of our guests have commented on what a great addition to the day Jonny was.

Jonny is a fantastic accordion player and effortlessly exuded such rich quality for our dinner evening. Jonny is a professional and I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Thanks Jonny, you made the evening fantastic!

Jonny was wonderful. The music was perfect and was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. I would highly recommend him.

Jonathan was brilliant! He played great music, exactly what we asked for and our guests loved him! Would highly recommend Jonathan for any event!

Jonny has been a delight to deal with in the run up to our wedding. On the day he added to the atmosphere by providing a perfect musical backdrop to very relaxed and informal gathering. We would highly recommend!

My 70th birthday party was planned and able to be an out of doors buffet lunch party for the extended family. As a musician myself I didn't want to have recorded music but someone live to add atmosphere without being over-dominant. It occurred to me that an accordionist playing Parisian style café music would be the perfect thing to have, and so Jonny Kerry proved to be. He played two forty minute sets of exactly the right kind of music, and also took the trouble to learn a piece I had composed especially for the occasion. His friendly and approachable manner encouraged virtually every guest to engage him in conversation at some point. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him if you're looking for a reliable, top-flight accordion player.

Talented accordionist, very helpful and obliging too.

I booked Jonny for my wedding a few months before- we had quite specific requirements as we'd had to pick our wedding music earlier than we thought for the registry office. Fortunately Jonny was able to play pretty much everything we needed and was willing to learn pieces he didn't know already.

In addition he sent over a sample of the piece I wanted to walk down the aisle to, in advance.

On the day he was great, everything went to plan and we had a lot of compliments on the music.

We hired Jonny for our wedding to play at the reception. My only regret was that I was the bride and couldn't fully enjoy his performance as I was busy running around having photos taken, talking to the guests and so on. Our guests absolutely loved him, we highly recommend Jonny.

Jonny Kerry played the accordion for us at our wedding in November 2018. From the first point of contacting him and booking he was very professional and friendly. When you're organising a wedding you really appreciate bookings that are no-fuss and Jonny was definitely that. So many of our guests on the day gave compliments about Jonny's playing. He started playing when we left the ceremony room and it sounded fantastic. He played a mixture of genres but mostly French cafe style, mixed in with some old classics; it added to a great atmosphere. We would definitely recommend Jonny!

Jonny’s performance was excellent and really helped the family with the whole atmosphere, I would definitely recommend him for any event and I will be calling him in the future.
Everyone who I asked loved the music and thought it brought something memorable to the day.
Many thanks Dom

Jonny played at my Mum's Parisienne themed birthday party and was absolutely fabulous! He was very flexible with timings and played wonderfully which made the party truly feel like a night in Paris.

Jonny, just wanted to say that my wife and I enjoyed your performance with Café Manouche. Gypsy jazz was brilliant! By the way, your vocal was impressive! You should sing more often :-)

We held a corporate Italian themed dinner in May this year in Harrogate. Jonny arrived in good time to set up and check the brief for the evening. He wandered amongst the tables playing his accordion with great flair and style. The music he chose to play fitted in with our theme and sounded fantastic! Our guests really enjoyed the evening and it would not of been the same without Jonny!

Smart professional young musician.
Catered his music and style to our particular request ie Italian theme.
Highly recommended

Jonny was a superb addition to our wedding and really set the perfect vibe. Highly recommended!

Jonny is great: he plays mean jazz accordion and is a delight to have around. Really made our afternoon in the garden for our guests and made a great atmosphere. It was Autumn Leaves that hooked me in.

Loved having Jonny Kerry perform for us as part of our Italian themed celebrations. What a lovely atmosphere it created and our diners loved him. Very much enjoyed working with Jonny and can't wait for him to return back to the restaurant for our Beaujolais Nouveau evening.

Jonny gave a great performance of European and Latin classics for us at our Community Street Party. He wowed us with his fluency and technique and ensured the event was a fantastic success. We would certainly recommend Jonny to anyone looking for an accomplished accordionist - you won't be disappointed!

We have used the services of Jonny Kerry on two occasions and have been impressed on both. Jonny is a very capable and adept musician who goes out of his way to ensure the audience gets a great performance. He certainly set the mood creating a 'Parisian' feel for both our European themed Ball and Valentines Dinner events respectively. Punctual and reliable, and great value for money, you will not be disappointed if you book him.

Absolutely thrilled and previaliged Jonny was able to come all the way to the Midlands to play at my Aunts funeral. Jonny played beautifully at my Aunts committal then again at the wake. We wanted traditional upbeat accordion music played to celebrate my Aunts life due to the amount of children attending in the family, and it being their first funeral. Everyone commented how lovely the funeral was, it wasn't somber at all, and how fitting Jonny's music was.
Thank you from all family and wish you all the best and success for the future xxx

We were looking for some interesting entertainment for during our wedding reception. I contacted Jonny and from the outset he was friendly, informative and totally professional.
On the day Jonny performed two sets, as previously arranged. He was well received by all our guests, many commenting on his skills and repertoire.
If you are looking for something a little different, classy and professional then I would have no hesitation in recommending Jonny.

Jonny brought a very different and unusual style to our event. Hugely talented and an absolute delight to watch and listen to. His playing is mesmerising and I would highly recommend him.

Jonny performed at our wedding in the Peak District. We wanted some background music and Jonny fitted the bill perfectly.

Jonny's cafe style music worked so well, moving around the guests in a non-intrusive fashion. 4 weeks on and guests are still saying how much they enjoyed it.

The biggest recommendation would come from my dad, a musician with 50 years experience, he could not speak highly enough of Jonny.

Jonny was professional and friendly from the start, I would not hesitate in recommending him

Jonny was just just what I was after for our country wedding- beautiful background music that suited our style and theme perfectly. On another note, he has been a delight to deal with from start to finish. I would highly recommend him and would love to work with him again. Thank you so much Jonny!

Johnny was the perfect welcome for our guest and really helped proved the atmosphere we wanted for our outdoor, vintage themed wedding reception. He played perfectly and entertained the guests for two hours. Apart from the great music he was also a really nice guy and arrived in good time before our guests arrived, he really did add something special to our already super special day! Thank you Johnny!

Jonny played during the drink reception at our marquee wedding a couple of weeks ago and was absolutely brilliant. Not only was he entirely professional, but he played a variety of great tunes solidly for several hours straight. We would definitely recommend him.

Thank you so much for adding a touch of class to my 40th celebrations, it was perfect, loved every minute and wouldn't hesitate to book Johhy again. Look no further, he's the accordionist for your event!

Jonny played at our Junior Lawyer Parisian themed ball. Everyone was delighted with Jonny's music and he really made it a special evening. I would highly recommend this talented musician to anyone looking to add a touch of class to an evening or for adding a different touch to an event.

We loved the atmosphere created and Jonny was really helpful in playing requests too! Fantastic musician and we highly recommend.

Jonny played at our wedding and everybody said how fantastic it was! My husband now wants to learn the accordion! Thank you for adding a lot to our special day!

Thank you so so much for Saturday. Everyone was raving about the accordion and what a great choice for fun drinks reception music!! You even got a special mention in Geoffs speech and a huge round of applause!

Absolutely Fantastic. Jonny played at our wedding and everybody loved him. The French style music he played was exactly what we wanted and everybody thoroughly enjoyed it. Jonny was playing in Nottingham that evening but managed to come to Cambridge and play for us on our special day. What a nice chap. thank you Jonny.

A massive thank you to Jonny for playing our wedding in July, we wanted a relaxed feel to the day as it was in our parents garden and Jonny really helped to achieve this. As well as providing the low key entertainment we were looking for while bringing an element of our favourite times in France he was friendly and professional. Thanks again highly recommended .

Jonny has played at The Bustard several times with The Hot Club of Lincoln bringing a French feel to the evening. His playing is outstanding.

We are a charity for older people. Jonny played at our French themed BBQ for around 40 clients average age 78yrs. Jonny's playing and repertoire were perfect for the day but he didn't just play and add to the atmosphere he interacted with the clients in a friendly and personable way. He certainly contributed significantly to the success of the day.

Hi Jonny, thank you again so much for your wonderful playing! We, and all the
guests, really enjoyed it.

Jonny played at our wedding, and we - and all the guests - loved his music. He created a great atmosphere, which was perfect for our garden and marquee setting. We had a number of French guests, and they were very impressed with his repertoire. Wonderful!

Jonathan was a great addition to our press show. Thanks a lot!

I booked Jonny as a surprise for my partner's father who is a fan of the Accordion and those who at. It was his 70th birthday party. He walked into the room with Jonny playing typical Parisian music and the birthday boy was over the moon. Jonny was tremendous. His ability with his Accordion was amazing and everyone present at the party were overjoyed by Jonny's musical skills. Not only did he play well but Jonny also obliged us all by being a lovely guy to have around at the party. A real gentleman indeed. Thank you Jonny.

Wow what a performance. Jonny played the accordion at our recent wedding and certainly entertained. All the guests commented on what a fabulous idea it was to have an accordion for a wedding and also what a talent he was. We would highly recommend Jonny for any event.

Jonny did a great job playing at my wedding, he created an amazing atmosphere. Thanks again!

Jonny was fantastic. Exceptional playing and a beautiful selection of songs. He was punctual, looked smart and handsome and added a classy touch to our wedding reception. I would highly recommend him.

From the first day I met Jonny I soon realised here was a passionate musician. I then discovered he could play almost anything on his accordion. Not only can he produce a variety of styles from French and Classical to Jazz and Swing but he could easily improvise around a couple of my own compositions. He kindly recorded a theme tune I wrote recently, accompanying me while I played the keyboard. The result has been fabulous due to his sensitive interpretation and romantic flair.
If you'd like an atmosphere to be created for a special occasion I would strongly recommend Jonny Kerry. There is depth, ambience and cheerfulness in abundance.

We were very pleased to hire Jonny Kerry for our wedding. He was a pleasure to deal with whilst organising the wedding. On the day he did a great job. His playing is lovely and he created the atmosphere we were hoping for during the build up to the ceremony and after. Thank you very much.
