Review Centre: Solo Musicians

"I came across Billy at the Edinburgh Festival in 2016 when we did a BBC Radio show together. He was quick-witted, funny, and wonderfully, prodigiously talented. I invited him to do a slot on my show later that week and in the dressing room afterwards he busked with the group of beat-boxers that shared our venue, playing Stairway to Heaven to their acoustic accompaniment. He's super-likeable, always experimenting and choosing interesting, different arrangements (think Jamie Cullum). Hope to see him again soon- he's definitely a (guitar) star!"

"John was very punctual, he turned up early to set up. He is a very talented singer & everyone commented on that. His song choices were brilliant & he even allowed requests from guests. He was just a singer but also an entertainer, he made people laugh & was so professional throughout. The feedback I got from the guests was amazing- John was the true professional & an excellent performer. I would definitely recommend to everyone."

"We booked Ian for our wedding reception, he was very kind polite and professional leading up to the big day! He made everything so simple and easy and even learned a new song for us! He's a great sax player and would definitely recommend him! Thanks again Ian!"

"Outstanding! Alastair was professional, courteous and above all VERY talented - he even got a personal thank you in our speeches. So many of our wedding guests commented on how wonderful he was, his music suited the mood and venue. It was such a warm day that many of our guests were outside initially, and without any fuss he seamlessly relocated outside, it was beautiful to watch him play on the grass outside our marquee. We can't thank Alastair enough and would 100% recommend. Thank you. "

"A big thank you to Bethany for setting the scene for our wedding. What an amazing voice! Bethany was great to deal with, a great list of songs from all genres. Perfect for such a special occasion. We’d highly recommend Bethany and will defiantly have her singing for us again sometime. Thank you, Darren and Lisa."

"One idle morning in May, James Wood woke up and strolled down to the bus station beneath a sky the mottled colour of a gravel garden centre car park. He got off at Hull Station, then, like a man who accidentally mislaid every care he had to give, plonked himself behind a piano and played David Bowie’s opus ‘Life on Mars’. In the process, he casually delivered the greatest busking performance I, and thousands of other global fans, have ever seen."

"I heard Nick playing classic music and jazz in Riga. I enjoyed it both professionally and emotionally. He is a talented musician with great taste in music. On and off stage Nick is energetic and shows high ethics. Thank you 🙏"

"I was at my friends retirement party yesterday with Beverley doing a "set". The sound of the saxophone is very special and Beverley takes it to a new level and made the party very very special for everyone. Book her now......Beverley and her saxaphone will be the life and soul, and jazz, and motown of your party, celebration, event. How good is she? The weather wasn't kind to us with a sudden downpour threatening to send everyone inside but Beverley blew the clouds away......and gave us musical sunshine. Oh, and if you read this Beverley, remember - Burrel Collection."

"Cali and her pianist were exceptional. Was nice they also mingled with our guests and took time to chat after their performance. Would certainly recommend. Everything we wished for, for our event"

"Neil proved to be a real hit at my recent 50th birthday. He was easy to work with, showed initiative and was flexible when dealing with a day of very varied weather. He selected songs - and background music too - that instinctively chimed with the guests and in many ways gave my party the atmosphere I wanted at the right level of volume. He's a great singer, made everything effortless, and I would recommend him without hesitation."

"We had a guitarist booked for my dads 70th Birthday, who cancelled at the last minute... Well me and my 5 brothers and sisters were devastated.. Anyway, I contacted Marc who stepped up with no notice whatsoever.. He was completely fantastic, he was supposed to play 2, 45minute slots but played the whole evening, and only stopped because we forced him too, (to eat).. Marc learnt a whole new bunch of songs just for us, in only 2 weeks and they sounded like he'd known them forever. My family (especially my dad) got very emotional on a few of them... I will be definitely using Marc again. A genuinely lovely and talenented young man. Thank you Marc... You made my dads birthday extra special... Belinda x "

Thank you so much for having me. It was really special playing Unchained Melody as your parents danced gently-a moment I will hold for a very long time. See you again soon :) x

"From the very first song, Club Max had the dance floor full. It felt like being transported to a world-class Ibiza club, only curated just for our wedding. The combination of live sax, percussion, and vocals layered over the DJ created an atmosphere that was completely immersive. Booking was seamless—the communication was spot-on and everything ran effortlessly from start to finish."

"Alex was an absolute joy to listen to; a very talented musician. We had a small wedding and somehow, in a good way, Alex almost felt like another guest rather than someone we had not met before. People of all ages enjoyed listening to him play, I would recommend him to anyone. "

"Tom sang at our celebration party, about 100 people aged from 18-75, everybody thought he was excellent, he even did a fabulous Nessun Dorma. If you want a great singer, brilliant entertainer, and above all a thoroughly professional and top guy, Tom is your person."
