"Oliviya was great from the start of booking, very efficient and friendly so we were very much looking forward to having her for our party. She turned up on the day well in advance of her time slot so were very well prepared and ready to go at the agreed start time, she was absolutely fantastic, all our guests thoroughly enjoyed her music and we had positive comments from virtually all the 80 guests, Beautiful voice Oliviya and lovely person to top it all, our 8 year old daughter ( Rosie) is sat with me whilst writing this and wanted me to also add that as Oliviya was finishing up Rosie requested 2 more songs and rather than say that was the end, the singer stayed and sang the 2 requested songs - so all in all very pleased and would certainly recommend her. Thanks again to Oliviya, all the best for the future and really hope we can book you again sometime.""

"Sean was brilliant! A pleasure to deal with from start to finish, talented and creative. Sean had everyone singing and bopping during our wedding breakfast and really added to the ambience. The fee was very reasonable and I'd highly recommend booking Sean!"

"We were delighted with Alice’s performance at our Christmas party. She provided a mix of Christmas music, some light classical and popular pieces and it was thoroughly enjoyed by all. One of my neighbours booked her for his own party after he heard her at ours. She is an exceptionally talented young woman and I would happily recommend her."

"Martin gave us a wonderful afternoon for a neighbours birthday party in the garden. He pitched the type of music exactly to his audience which was really good. He has a friendly manner and looks like he is genuinely enjoying singing and chatting to the guests. Would highly recommend."

"Working with M-Sax was such a pleasure! Communication was excellent throughout, and he really put me at ease. He completely understood the different styles and vibes I wanted for each part of the day, and delivered them perfectly. Our guests couldn’t stop commenting on how special it was to have a saxophonist, it added such a unique and memorable touch to the whole celebration. His playing is absolutely superb, and on top of that, he’s such a lovely, kind person. Honestly, booking him was one of the easiest parts of our wedding planning — everything was explained clearly and carried out flawlessly. I would 100% recommend M-Sax to anyone looking to add something truly special to their day. Thank you so much for making our wedding unforgettable!"

"We contacted Laurence through this site to play during our ceremony at Stoke Park Pavilions. He was extremely helpful and accommodating, going out of his way to play the songs that we wanted and accompanying the Bride's Soprano Mother whilst she sang a song for us. We cannot recommend him enough and our only regret is not having the opportunity to say thank you after the ceremony (photographs etc etc). So thank you Laurence, many of our guests commented on your superb playing."

"Jenny was a fantastic vocalist singing all types of music from old to new and to suit your audience! Brilliant communication from booking and when she turned up. Set up in plenty of time and even had music on in the background before the performance. I would 100% recommend her it was a fantastic night thank you so much to Jenny for making our night so special. I was let down last minute by another singer and I got Jenny and I can't fault her one bit! Brilliant, reliable, fantastic singer and great with any audience! Book Jenny you won't be dissapointed. "

"I have watched Billy develop from his Sky Arts days, instantly aware he has a talent to be nurtured and expanded. Carefully managed, his playing talent is now supported by awareness of arrangement, production and stage presence. He was amongst friends at Thame, local boy returning to an event he has played before. Billy's growing talent was appreciated and widely recognised, with numerous comments in the crowd as to how well he played. The loop pedal sequencing of While My Guitar Gently Weeps produced a rich interpretation, each layer adding depth and character to a well-known modern classic - not just another cover, but a personal arrangement that stands comparison with any other. The old favourite Bohemian Rhapsody produced full-on audience participation and genuine applause. A very short set to fit the event programme, but every second was full of good stuff. Next call, probably, Towersey Festival. Another one worth travelling for...."

"Joe is an exceptional talent. His voice is incredible and reminded us of many highly successful musicians. He truly made my husbands 40th with his repertoire but also kindly allowing us to ruin his ears with some after party karaoke. I would recommend Joe to anyone who appreciates an incredible musical talent, an all round friendly guy and someone who would go out of their way to ensure an event was successful. Thanks Joe!"

"Luch was fantastic for my 40th, genuinely nice guy and a wonderful musician/singer who covered some of our favourite artists as well as singing some of his own stuff - which is amazing by the way! Destined for a big future due to his natural talent. Book him now before he starts headlining festivals!!! Thanks Luch :-)"

"I hired Matthew for my 50th birthday party and am so pleased that I did - he was exactly what I was looking for! I selected him on the basis of the quality that I saw on the website, and felt that he was even better in person. Being somewhat fussy, I was apprehensive about finding someone who could meet my needs, but Matthew suggested that we had a meeting before my event and we chatted through my ideas and preferences - as well as the things that I did not want! I came away feeling that he understood me and that we had connected, which was incredibly reassuring, and I was not let down on the night. Matthew is an incredibly talented singer and guitarist - recreating songs in a way that not only reflects the original, but often putting his own twist onto them in a way that keeps them fresh and interesting. His use of the loop pedal was particularly impressive! It was of note that so many of my guests commented on how good he was - they had a great time and really got into the swing of things as he gradually turned up the tempo and got everyone dancing. In doing so, he took requests, interacted with the crowd, showed a good sense of humour and came across and a fun, friendly and approachable guy. He played a wide range of songs, all of which reflected our discussion beforehand, with a great balance between those you might expect at a party and some 'surprises' that may be less common but worked equally well - if not better! I would definitely hire Matthew again, and would recommend him to pretty much anyone: he has a list of nearly 500 songs to choose from, and has a strict policy of not having a 'usual' setlist - instead preferring to engage in a discussion of what you'd like, so would be able to cater for all tastes - even mine! Thanks so much Matthew - you turned a great night into an incredible night!"

Thank you so much for your review Ian - I was genuinely touched! I’m so happy that you enjoyed yourself, especially as I know how anxiety-inducing it can be to organise your own birthday party and feel responsible for everyone’s fun! I loved the atmosphere created by your guests and it was such a pleasure to see you and your friends all dancing together. I hope I can play for you again one day! - Matt
