Review Centre: Guitarists (Jazz)

"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. "

"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"

"Charlie has done the previous 4 new years eves here at the Nightingale and other nights with his band The Carter Collective. People are always asking for him to come back but hes always booked up! On new years eve he brings a case of percussion and hands them out and although some people don't have natural rhythm it goes down a treat. A natural performer who leaves you wanting more and more."

"Michael performed for us at our small boutique wedding in Cornwall, he is a top class guitar player with a large repertoire. He was great from the minute he started and we were all disappointed when it was time for him to leave. We would not hesitate booking him again."

"Couldn't recommend these guys enough! We booked Dave and his band for my mums 70th and they were fantastic ! Everyone loved them and they read the room really well (nice background music when people arrived then stuff for people to dance to). They brought all their own gear and only needed a plug socket, so setup was really smooth. And communication in the lead up was great - Dave was so friendly and helpful. Seeing my mum and dad dancing along to the music and having a great time was a real highlight - huge thanks to Dave and the band for an amazing night. Note, we had Dave on guitar and vocals, and someone on keys and bass - all top quality musicians."
