"We wanted a very informal, chilled evening in our small village pub to celebrate a 60th Birthday with friends, neighbours and family, and chose to contact 'Country Bob Gessey' to play for us. He was a total hit with all the guests, and had us up dancing and singing to some well-loved favourite and familiar songs. He got to know us before the party started to get an idea of the sort of music we loved, and incorporated the numbers into his sets. Bob has a great voice, is a great musician and helped the evening have an amazing, fun, relaxed and 'party' vibe'. Thank you, Bob!"

"Joe is every way awesome, and a really great guy. His music set is fabulous, there is something for everyone. He delivers brilliantly, and gets every audience engaged and involved! He has helped us out numerous times at music festivals down at The Crooked Billet. We strongly recommend him for any occasion!"

"Hi Alan We just wanted to say a huge thank you again for playing at our wedding on Saturday! You were honestly incredible. Every single guest and supplier we hired came up to us at some point in the day to tell us how amazing you were playing. You are incredibly talented and made the atmosphere so romantic. Our first dance song that you played for us will stick with us forever and we are so grateful that you were able to pull another lovely song out for us on the spot so we could do a dance with our mother's. You were better than any DJ we could have hired and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend you. Thanks again "

"On a very wet day in July, Joe played at my husband 's birthday party, not only did Joe play and sing so well, he engaged, wonderfully on a personal level; with all the guests, got everyone joining in and created the best party atmosphere. Joe played one song after the other, with no nonsense chatter in between songs, and even delivered a couple of special song requests, made in advance, beautifully . No spirits were dampened, by the awful weather on that day, with Joe, just a great time, remarked upon by all of the guests. Joe provided really good value for money, I would not hesitate for one second to hire him again, whatever the age group of the event. Thanks Joe for making my husband's birthday party special - you re great."

"Mary is one of the best singer/performers that I have worked with over the last years during my career in Hilton. Besides the fact that she has a spontaneous, responsible and Professional personality, her talent of singing and performing were key to a successful partnership. She has proven to be able to possess and perform several types of acts such as singing, acapela, DJ-ing, and performing with other musicians in a group as lead singer. I have no problem in recommending Mary for her skills and services that provided an always pleasant partnership while I worked at Hilton Vilamoura. Any company that would work with her will be getting a true professional on board!"

"I booked for my a garden party for my little girl’s 8th birthday. Booking was so easy, I was asked for a list of favourite songs before hand. The performance was amazing and you were fab with the kids. Definitely recommend. Thank you once again for making her birthday a special one x"

"Groom here - So about 4 months before my wedding, my (now) wife returns from a wedding fair in Exeter and tells me, rather cautiously that she may or may not have booked an acoustic guitarist for a few hours to play her down the aisle, and during our reception drinks. Before I can get any words out she immediately tells me that the guy was so so nice, and really good and he even gave us a discount for booking him there and then! So really she's saved us money, because anyone else would be just as much, if not more, and again he was super good. She failed to concede that an ipod and one of the lads pushing the button would've cost us literally nothing, therefore saving every penny that she had just spent. So obviously for the next 4 months I gave her a hard time about how the cost of the wedding was spiralling out of control, and how her acoustic guitarist was the straw that broke the camels back. The big day arrives, and as you can expect I'm running around doing Grooms stuff, all our set up and whatnot was completed the day before, so no stress. Then as I'm waiting at the end of the aisle I see a guy I've never met before, with an acoustic guitar and an amp - 'ah' I think to myself, this guy better be good...And he absolutely was. For the whole time he was there Joe created a really nice atmosphere, and a lot of our guests commented on how good this guy was. We'd told him a few weeks before the wedding what song we wanted playing while the bride was walking down the aisle, and what sort of songs we wanted during the canapes. He was more than accommodating - I know he had to learn the bridal party song - which he nailed, and one or two more for the kind of stuff we asked for but he did such a good job. I only got around to speaking to him as he was packing up to go, having stayed longer than we'd agreed, and to his credit he really is a nice guy. The only bad thing that I can say is he's the reason I had to admit my wife was right on something so soon into our marriage. So for any husband to be doubting his fiance's decision, maybe giving her a hard time on pointless expenses, just stop - this guy is worth every penny and more, and you'll only end up apologising to your new missus. Thanks again Joe, we were thrilled."

"Steve performed at our summer BBQ last week. He was punctual and very personable. The music was perfect for the occasion and gave the event real atmosphere. I wouldn't hesitate to book Steve again or recommend him to others. Many thanks!"

"Brian was a great booking for my wedding. Punctual and professional. Music was spot on (despite the cold weather he played on outside). Very friendly and accommodating - even had a lengthy chat with a musician guest of mine! Recommended."

"We first saw Phil at a wedding fair and ended up booking for our entire day- ceremony, drinks reception and evening reception and I am so glad we did! Phil was absolutely amazing! He included all of our favourite songs and was able to learn some of our requests that weren’t already on the list. The whole day went down amazing with our guests, especially the evening sets! Everyone kept saying how good the music was! Thank you so much Phil- it really was the best day ever!!!"
