"Ian Geast is the man of every hour at any of our Shotgate Music Events and beyond! Both Compère and singer, you can expect a fantastic show every time. His songs get the whole crowd up and dancing, and his hosting talents are unmatchable. We turn to him every time as we know we will never be disappointed! If you’re looking for a talented, generous, and wonderful entertainer, think Ian! "

"Fabulous music from Peter that really set the mood for my 1920s (Peaky Blinders) party. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed his performance. Peter even went the extra mile by playing a song for my Grandma that she sings to her grandson in Australia. Thanks for making my party extra special! "

"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."

"I have been to two of Matthew’s shows, and both myself and my nanna have had a fab time! Matthew is an amazing entertainer, and an even better singer. I would certainly recommend him for all occasions!"

"Claire Rhiannon played for my Dad’s 70th birthday- he loves folk music and so we hired her to play a mix of folk songs whilst we had dinner. We really appreciated her offering so many different songs when we only had a few songs we knew he liked. She advised us that it would be better for her to use an acoustic violin but with amplification to reach above the noise of us chatting and eating. It was absolutely perfect and a couple of songs moved my dad (and others) to tears. It was the perfect setting for a lovely meal and even though we were all chatting there were many times we sat quietly to just listen to the beautiful music. My Dad already says he wants her back for his 80th and I’ll be recommending her to everyone"

"The wedding was absolutely outstanding. I would just like to say how absolutely unbelievable Naomi was. She arrived early, extremely pleasant lovely lady. Dressed immaculately. Her violin playing was some of the best I have ever heard she was outstanding. I genuinely can't put into words how special she made mine and Samantha’s day. Professional from start to finish and ALL of the guests let us know how fantastic she was. My only regret is me and sam not being able to personally thank her as we were getting ushered away. Haha. Please can you let her know we are extremely grateful. Also a huge thanks to you Neil. Excellent service from yourself. Made everything 100 times easier. I will recommend you to anyone that asks."

"From our 1st meeting with Jean she was fantastic, with her suggestions of music for our ceremony and then on the day all our guest commented on how amazing she was. Will definitely use again and would definitely recommend. "

"Her voice is next level and she is just the sweetest person. We had some quote obscure requests for our wedding and it didn't phase Megan whatsoever. Wouldn't have been the same without her there."
