Ian performed for us at our Dads 80th birthday party. He played two sets during the afternoon. Exactly the vibe we were after, a great selection of songs which all sounded fantastic. A lovely guy, very friendly and easy to communicate with. We would absolutely recommend ! Thanks Ian for adding to a lovely celebration! 🙂

We booked Ian for our belated wedding reception and he was totally great. We had him perform a handful of sets over the evening and everyone really enjoyed the music. He started off super chilled which gave us a nice atmosphere over drinks and towards the end of the evening we had a bit of a dance to the upbeat songs!

Defo recommended!

Thank you so much to Ian for such a special performance at our wedding. Ian was brilliant, comms were great, speaking on the phone to arrange logistics and song choices and so quick to reply to any queries we had. Rain meant we had to rearrange a few things on the day but Ian was so adaptable and helped to make everything seamless.

Ian played throughout the drinks reception and wedding breakfast and set the vibe perfectly. All the guests commented on how amazing the music was.

Would definitely recommend Ian, just wish we could do it all again!!

I was lucky enough to book Ian to sing at my 50th birthday garden party. As soon I watched his videos I knew Ian was who I wanted to book and I knew he was going to be good, but he was even better than I expected. His amazing mellow voice with the guitar really made the atmosphere. His own music is even better than the covers and all my guests thought he was fantastic. He was so flexible and accommodating when I had to postpone for a week due to the great English summer weather. He was friendly to everyone, completely professional and was an absolute pleasure to have around. If you’re looking for a fabulous musician and singer, Ian won’t disappoint. Now I just need to arrange another party so I can book Ian again!

Ian played at my 40th birthday party and everyone loved his style. He was very relaxed in the run-up to the evening too and was happy to accommodate my song requests. Thanks Ian for helping to make it such a special evening.

We thought Ian Was amazing! All our guests said how brilliant his voice was and how much they enjoyed your take on classic songs. He was very easy to contact when we were planning everything and even agreed to sing a few songs in memory of my Mum and Dad. We booked him immediately after hearing him on a agency web site! Thanks for being a part of our special day Ian.

We had really great evening and part of it was down to Ian. We booked him for our wedding dinner and first dance. We also paid him to learn a specific song for our first dance. He did a beautiful version of Heaven by DJ Sammy and led proceedings from his sets into our first dance super smoothly. His song choices went down really well with our friends and family. Top marks!

We booked Ian for our UK wedding reception after getting married in China and he totally lived up to the videos we'd seen. He was super calm with all the planning and then kept me in the loop then he was having travel complications so that I didn't panic. When he arrived he sang in the garden for our guests and everyone was really enjoying it! He even stayed a little longer than agreed for the dancing, after our meal ran over a little. Great atmosphere, great songs, great guy.

We chose Ian Britt for RAF Northolt's Junoir Ranks Summer Function after being impressed by his music and repertoire on the agents' website. He was a top bloke at the event, helped us figure out the stage and gear we'd hired in and his performance went down really well with the men in our regiment. Hoping to book him again next year.

We booked Ian Britt for our outside wedding and he was absolutely brilliant. Lots of our guests commented on how good he was, people were even singing along! Me and my husband especially loved the Jungle Book cover, one of the tracks in his videos that pursued us to grab him for our special day.

Ian performed throughout the day for a wedding we recently hosted, starting with the bride's entrance, through the signing and then on into drinks reception. He had also learned the couple's favorite song for their first dance and it was just fantastic, not a dry eye in the house!

As a wedding coordinator, he was a joy to work with, very professional, easy-going and with a lovely manner. His sets went down brilliantly with all the guests, people dancing and singing along. Would’d to have love him back!

What can I say Ian was great from day one with communication, his personality in emails is part of why I chose him over others as well as loving his voice, and we were not dissapointed.
We were originally planning to have Ian play during drinks but our ceremony plans changed last minute and Ian with out questions agreed to play for us during the ceremony too.
Everyone kept asking where we'd found him and saying how good he was.

Great guy, great musician/singer.

Thank you so much for helping make out day so special.

CHARITY EVENT - 01.04.19.

I booked Ian for our football club charity event after hearing some of the excellent videos on his youtube channel. He was very timely and responsive in communications which gave me the utmost confidence in his reliability.

The plans went swimmingly and he was a top bloke. His performance really exceeded my expectations and many of the guests had positive comments, he's clearly very talented at what he does and would be a great musical addition to any event.

Would highly recommend booking this guy.

REGULAR BOOKING - 15.03.19.

I am the manager of a smart, stylish bar & restaurant in the heart of The City and we've been repeat-booking Ian through an agency for around 2 years now. He's definitely one of the best musicians we book and is always super friendly and reliable.

His repertoire is great for our business sector client base, be it as relaxed, background music or creating more of an upbeat atmosphere when the crowd are a little more lively.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ian for bookings as a covers artist for any type of event.

I wanted to book someone to sing mine and my partner's favorite song for when I proposed near London Bridge. Imagine my amazement when one of the people I asked for a quote actually wrote OUR song!

This really made the proposal extra, extra special and memorable and of course, scored me some serious brownie points!

Ian is an absolute gent and the most genuine, helpful guy. He couldn't have been more accommodating with fine tuning the proposal planning and was wonderful when we came to meet. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him for anything, after seeing how he helped make our special day so unforgettable.

Absolutely Brilliant!

Ian totally exceeded my expectations, I’m surprised he doesn’t cost more! Didn’t want him to stop, he completely transformed the energy of our party with his music. His playlist was brilliant and all our friends and family wanted to know where we found him!!

Not just a great singer but a great guy too. Thank you so much Ian!

Just What I Wanted!

I recently booked Ian Britt for a private garden party. From inquiry and booking through to performance, Ian was always reassuring, helping make everything run smoothly and effortlessly for me. Ian's a great guy, he fitted in perfectly and we all had a wonderful afternoon. Whilst friends and family were getting a drink and settling in, he performed a lovely set, providing the perfect ambiance. He took a short break and was great with my guests, then he gave us another set and we all had a little boogie in the garden, perfect!

Highly recommended and would book him again!

Ian was fantastic.

He's a lovely bloke who was charming throughout the wedding day and played some excellent music for us.

We requested some specific covers that weren't on his standard list and he was able to learn this and put his own unique spin on it that made it perfect for the occasion.

All in all full marks: couldn't have hoped for better.

Cheers

I contacted Ian with 2 weeks until the event and instantly he put me at ease. Cool, calm and collected in our first contact and kept in regular contact until the event. Upon arrival at the event Ian was personable and very attentive. He met the brief perfectly, catering for the differing age ranges in the room and confidently providing a broad and varied range of beautifully played and sung tunes. He got all involved, leading us in a good knees-up in the second set where we'd all had a few more drinks, and supported throughout in maintaining the wonderful evening. Ian is an excellent musician and I have already recommended him to a number of people.

I’d recommend Ian without hesitation. Not only is he a huge talent with a fine repertoire, he is a genuinely good guy who was friendly and communicative during the build-up to my wedding. On the day itself, he went above and beyond what I’d expect from a performer by allowing my son (a beginner on guitar) to play along to one of his songs. Ian is a top talent and a top man.

Ian Britt (aka You Know Me) is a fantastic acoustic covers artist that is guaranteed to lift any crowd from 18-50 years of age. He has his own twist on the excellent range of songs in his repertoire, even turning Disney songs into performances that go down really well with the locals!

We're very grateful to have Ian Britt perform regularly at our venue The Trafalgar Tavern, Greenwich. He is a truly fantastic performer. Both staff and customers alike always comment on his amazing voice. I hope he can carry on entertaining our guests here!

It was a pleasure working with Ian Britt, a true professional. His performance was exactly what we were looking for, he got everyone clapping, singing along and having a good time.

I can confidently recommend Ian Britt to anyone looking for an acoustic singer/musician for their wedding. We had him play for our walk down the isle, signing of the register as well as during reception drinks. He was perfect for the job; he was punctual, clearly experienced and totally professional. He was really friendly to all the guests and everyone commented on just how great he sounded! A wonderful addition to our day.

Lorraine Solomons – Success Express Music (Live Music Events London) 8 Jun 2017

Ian is a step above the average covers artist, with fresh twists and classy renditions on everything from Michael Jackson to The Jungle Book.

I fell in love with Ian Britt's work the moment I heard his song, The Shape of Us. I dug a little deeper, listening to everything I could. While I'd usually describe my experience as "having the pleasure of working with" Ian Britt for my wedding last year, this time I prefer to describe it more like finding a new friend! Through his website, I asked if he would be willing to fly to the United States as a surprise for my soon-to-be husband. Ian was just as excited about the reveal as I was and he was immediately on board!

He was amazing. From the moment he got off the train to meet me, to every family member and friend of ours that he met; he was full of smiles and personality. I think he knew that was what we were looking for considering we had a small, intimate ceremony and reception. He really added to the special atmosphere to our wedding weekend.

There are few words to describe the level of talent and professionalism that Ian Britt holds. He is a truly gifted musician and the unique ways in which approaches the covers that he performs is delightful and was absolutely perfect for our wedding!
