"Ciaran was fantastic! I hired him to provide guitar and vocals for my friends birthday event- he had us up singing and dancing along all night. A terrific voice, great guitar playing and his setlist was just perfect. "

"We came across Billy online and thought his music would be ideal for our party. We were right - his superb playing entertained our quests delightfully for about 3 hours without being intrusive. The range of songs suited our Chilean themed evening. I can thoroughly recommend Billy as a musician for any private function"

"We can't recommend Roger enough. He recently played at our wedding a couple of weeks ago and it was simply perfect! We had 3 songs in particular that we wanted playing for our ceremony- 'Heartbeats' by José Gonzalez, 'Half the world away' by Oasis and 'Not Nineteen Forever' by The Courteeners. Roger not only learnt these specifically for us but played them with such finesse- so many of our guests commented on his playing afterwards. He also played while we had pictures taken and kept our guests entertained while they had drinks before our wedding meal. This again was very well recieved and provided a relaxing and melodic setting. Thank you Roger for providing part of the soundtrack to our wedding day! Your mixture of modern and classical was perfect for what we wanted and on top of this you were so friendly and helpful prior to the day. We only wish we could do it all again! Mr & Mrs Egan "

"It was a real privilege to attend a solo guitar concert given by SmoothGuitar at St Bartholomew's Church Penn Wolverhampton. We were treated to a wide-ranging program. The core of any classical guitar concert are the pieces from the Spanish repertoire. We started with Romanza – anon and ended with a Farruca Flamenco. A particular highlight for me was the Prelude 1 by Villa-Lobos. Here we heard SmoothGuitar's technical skill and musicality at maintaining a beautiful melodic line with right-handed arpeggio accompaniment. There were fun moments with The Girl from Ipanema and the One Note Samba. Take 5 of Dave Brubeck fame and the James Bond theme sounded quite at home on guitar. The concert ended with a captivating rendition of All I ask of you from the Phantom of the opera as an encore. "

"Meg is a ray of sunshine and a true a joy to watch AND, in my good fortune, also an absolute joy to share a stage with. She is equal parts sassy, sultry and adorable and her smoky and delicious voice feels right at home across jazz, soul, pop, country, folk genres and more. She will make you laugh and make your toes tap, and you will always leave a Meg Cavanaugh show with a smile on your face. She is true artist and shining star."

"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."

"I found Roger after intense google searching and emailing many many musicians with low response. Roger replied within a couple hours, was not only available but very accommodating. After a brief chat, I realised how down to earth he is. My fiancé and I had a song in mind that Roger was unfamiliar with but with a positive attitude - he learned it within a few days. On the day itself, hearing him play was the most calming feeling and I am very grateful of that. Roger played the song we picked beautifully and continued with many others in his repertoire. Later he even played for my husband and I when we had a moment to ourselves. It was a beautiful day and would definitely not have been the same without Roger. Thank you so much "

"There are no words to describe how amazing Phil is. He entertained guests from the minute he arrived until late in the evening with his extreme talent, he played a fantastic range of songs to suit the day and learnt several new ones specifically for our first dance and aisle songs. Everyone commented on how great he was, our wedding would not have been such a success without him! He is professional, reliable and responded to my many emails, messages and outrageous demands without hesitation. He is an asset to any event or celebration. Thank you so much Phil Mr & Mrs Jordan "
