Well Vernon I've just spent far too long trawling through your Spotify material, and I have to say it is absolutely sublime. Your guitar work on your 2013 album 'What Will You Do?' is up there with the best, thank you for bringing me so much joy. Both versions of 'Lovers in the Moonlight' (2013 and 2024) are superb. Are you sure you’re not related to George Benson? Your 1980s covers shine out like beacons too, so thank you.

Vernon was amazing! He read the room well, and blended his performance with humor and prompts to keep the audience engaged. I would definitely book him again!

We had the pleasure of having Vernon perform at our workplace's Black History Month Jazz Night. During the event planning process, Vernon was really prompt in his communications with us, very accommodating and flexible. He also had a great selection of songs including ones that paid homage to the rich history of jazz music and the contributions of Black artists. During his performance, he was very good at getting the audience engaged and also had a great sense of humour to bring laughter too. Overall, Vernon's performance was a brilliant celebration of Black history through the lens of jazz music. It was a night filled with appreciation for the cultural heritage of the genre.

Vernon was absolutely brilliant and made our night. A fine artist and he even learned a couple of new songs for us. Would highly recommend and we could not have asked for a better musician, an amazing talent and a thoroughly nice guy.

Vernon is just the best! He recently came and sang at my birthday party and was a complete hit with me and all the guests. It was a surprise party so my husband organised for Vernon to sing for us and he got it spot on. Vernon was so personable to all our guests and adapted his songs to bring some humour to the occasion.
I would 100% recommend Vernon to anyone and book him again in the future!
Thanks so much Vernon!

Dear Lindsay, thanks so much for such a lovely review and comments. I wasn't expecting a review from you after such a lovely review from James. Your party was a highlight for me. Friends and family who welcomed me with such warmth. I hope the bits of video that you all took remind you of a special and magical evening celebrating your birthday. Warmest regards, Vernon

We recently had Vernon attend my wife’s birthday party and sing for us. I can’t recommend Vernon enough to anyone thinking of adding something special to their event. He was the shining star of the party and such a lovely person to match. His personality shone through his work and everybody loved him and the interaction he generated with the guests. We will definitely be returning for more of our Vernon fix. Thank you, Vernon.

Moss and Jones (Arts Centre Music Evening Gig) 12 Apr 2022
10/10

The evening ended with the talents of Vernon Fuller. A versatile, virtuoso guitarist, Vernon switched easily between jazz, blues and acoustica, with catchy songs and a magnetic stage presence. He enlisted the help of a harmonica player in the audience at one point, and then got all of us to join in on some of his songs too. His songs were hugely enjoyable, and you can buy his music via his website; for us, in fact, it was his (semi-improvised?) experimental instrumental with delay pedal that really blew us away and in many ways was the highlight of our evening.

Vernon was awesome. He knew exactly what we were looking for and delivered. He wasn't precious about his time, he was charming and approachable. But more to the point his music rocked! Lots of cover but some of his own stuff - which was amazing. We had a great evening with him and we will definitely be booking him again. My advise is... book Vernon Fuller for your party!

Thanks very much for such a lovely review Andy! It was an absolute pleasure to be a part of your engagement party celebrations. You all made me feel so welcome that I felt like one of your guests. Please also pass on my thanks to everyone who was there, kind regards, Vernon

Vernon played the cocktail hour of our wedding, accompanied by a colleague on bass, and we could not have asked for a better duo! The set list was exactly what we wanted; Vern has a great voice and created such a good vibe with his fun ad libs and upbeat style, it was better than we ever could have hoped. My husband and I has guests asking us "where did you find these guys, they're amazing" the entire time they were playing! It was an absolute pleasure to have them both there, they made the day feel so special - we would absolutely recommend them to anyone.

I booked Vernon to play for my 65th birthday party after reading other reviews about him. I have to say that we were not disappointed, he made the party extra special and all my guests enjoyed his music and said what a really nice guy he is. He even backed me when I did a couple of songs myself.

We booked Vernon for our wedding on the 24th April 2015 and he really was fantastic, we had pre arranged what music he was going to do off his playlist.
We corresponded by email and had no problems with contacting him and he arrived on time for our evening reception, he set up and played straight through until about 10.
We found his own music very good especially his song (see that girl) he made the evening fun and got us up dancing, our guests loved him and enjoyed his music, Vernon is a friendly talented musician and we would book him again or recommend him for a wedding or party.
Many thanks Vernon

Vernon was wonderful at our fundraiser last night. He pitched his set perfectly and gave us a laid-back and mellow evening which generated many favourable comments regarding his voice and musical skills. He was very accommodating when being interrupted for announcements through the evening and was, overall, a really great artist. I would heartily recommend him to anybody looking for a great, friendly entertainer.

I am proud to have worked with Vernon, his professionalism and dedication are second to none. I have booked Vernon and his band (via my agency) and he has not only delighted his audiences, but left lasting impact that guests talk about for years to come. Hard working, talented and assiduous, if you book Vernon and his band today you're in for for a real treat!

Vernon performed for a Charity night we held at The Wickets Inn to raise some money for our local charity, Severn Hospice. He did a fantastic set that went down fantasticly with all of our customers, I've even been asked if we can ask for him to come back for any other events.
Vernon has such a great variety of songs that are a all pleasure to listen to. I highley recommend you book Vernon if you're looking for an entertainer. A very talented, friendly man perfect for any event. Definetly be getting in touch in future.
Thank you for making the night such a success!

If you're looking for an entertainer for a party, look no further than Vernon Fuller! Vernon performed at our civil partnership celebration and I have to say we had so many positive comments from our guests. Vernon's voice is wide ranging - as is his repertoire, something which first attracted us to him as a performer for our special event. Whatever your age or musical interests, there's a good chance you will know some of the music he performs, and it is all done with style and enthusiasm. The mood ranges from chilled out to funky and danceable. On top of this, Vernon is a really nice guy, a good communicator, and senses the moods and needs of his audience. I can heartily recommend him!

He does really well. We hire him for the surprise of our friend and he did really well. She was so happy. And he played really good, and his own creation are also fab.

Vernon performed at our new John Lewis store in York as part of our 150 anniversary celebration weekend. Vernon was an absolute pleasure to have performing in the store; his friendly manner and excellent musical talent made our 150 year celebrations extraordinary, and our partners and customers commented how brilliant he was. We will most certainly be contacting Vernon in the future for other events that we hold- he never once stopped smiling, and his music was fantastic! Thank- you Vernon!
