Review Centre: Guitarists

"I've seen Meg play at open mic nights that she has hosted, solo gigs, gigs with her band, collaborative music nights and in the comfort of her and her friend's homes, and I must say, she is a spectacular musician and host - one of the best around. As a host, she brings with her the ease of charm and inclusiveness, and as a musician, she is inviting and sultry with a rich and beautiful voice with jazz, blues, Americana and country influences. She lights up any room she is in, and would be an absolute pleasure to have sing at any occasion. "

"I think that's just the most hypnotizing voice I've heard for ages. That's what the text book definition of 'Folk Voice' should be."

"Billy was absolutely amazing and very talented. His set list was very varied and he is a spectacular guitarist - our guests were so impressed and he provided a great performance for our drinks reception. We’d definitely book him again for future events, and we’d definitely buy tickets to see him if he ever performed live! "

"The evening ended with the talents of Vernon Fuller. A versatile, virtuoso guitarist, Vernon switched easily between jazz, blues and acoustica, with catchy songs and a magnetic stage presence. He enlisted the help of a harmonica player in the audience at one point, and then got all of us to join in on some of his songs too. His songs were hugely enjoyable, and you can buy his music via his website; for us, in fact, it was his (semi-improvised?) experimental instrumental with delay pedal that really blew us away and in many ways was the highlight of our evening."

"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

"I never usually leave feedback etc for anything but thought it a crime not to do so for the show Nick Caruso just provided for us. I own a fairly large company and after seeing Nick play a few times i approached him to play our event. We emailed back and forth as i am quite fussy and wanted things to run exactly right, i needed not to worry as Nick put my mind at ease on every occasion, he was very diplomatic and polite when he could've told me not to worry. The show was scheduled to start at 8.30pm and right on the dot he came on stage and opened up a captivating first half with back to back non stop great songs to dance to. The second half really showed why he is so very revered, everything from classic Chuck Berry to some highly charged 80's rock then classic songs like Hotel California and Purple Rain, you cannot help but to just watch him show the guitar who is the boss, not a step wrong, not a bad note all night. I will be using Nick for all our future events in the UK and abroad. Not many people surprise me but i can honestly say Nick did."

" Liam played at our wedding, 27th July… and was truly amazing! Complete natural and so talented, really set the atmosphere for our wedding breakfast. He was really accommodating during our speeches, letting us use his microphone. Honestly would recommend Liam. And if another family event comes up, i certainly wouldn’t hesitate to book him again! Liam, thank you! Adele & Mark x"
