"Ian was a super star at our wedding! We love the sax, and were so excited to find how easy it was to hire him & have him play along to all our favorite tracks with our DJ. He slotted in really easily, played like a total pro and just added to the party atmosphere we were after. THANK YOU! Annie & Henry"

"Thank you so much for making my 60th birthday so special. You were amazing and we all enjoyed the evening so much. I have received so many lovely comments. We will definitely be recommending you. I will ask the owner of a bar in London to recommend you to his guests when they book. Most people that stay there have a celebration and you are the perfect entertainer. Best wishes and good luck for the future. You deserve to make it big! Tracey"

"Laura Moon performed at my wedding two weeks ago. She was absolutely brilliant and would recommend to everyone. All my guests thought she was amazing and really got the evening reception started. With some classic party songs and some more personal songs which we had asked for. So a big thank you to Jade for making our day extra special."

"IT WAS billed as A Night At The Musicals, and it was certainly a title which attracted a packed house to the Howden Park Centre last Friday evening when Darren Shaw and three dancers took the stage and sang and danced their hearts out. Two for the price of one took on a whole new meaning in this show in which we, the audience, were encouraged to join in with some of the well known songs. If you looked around, all you could see was a sea of smiling faces having a great time reminiscing and sharing some of their favourite moments from the musicals. This was courtesy of one very talented young man sporting a George Clooney haircut and diamond earring, some nifty costume changes, an incredible voice range and an endearing smile. Using a variety of spectacular, if sometimes dazzling lighting effects, and the obligatory dry ice creating an atmosphere that makes the singer appear suspended in clouds, the show began with a spotlight into which sauntered Mr Shaw in top hat and tails singing On The Street Where You Live, from My Fair Lady. Once again the excellent acoustics of the Brian Duguid Theatre played host to emotive, full orchestral music courtesy of impeccably timed tapes. Maybe it was just a shade loud in the first half which saw something very unusual and totally original. Everyone is familiar with The Sound of Music and the recent Connie Fisher version of The Hills are alive. Enter Darren Shaw looking splendid in lederhosen, like a denizen of Austria and straight from the Alps. To everyone's amazement and some barely concealed audience mirth, he became a soprano and made the hills come alive in his own special way. As the show progressed, the format of two songs by Mr Shaw interspersed with dance routines by the hardworking dancers began to win us over. For the first time ever, the famous duet from Grease, You're The One That I Want, was sung by Mr Shaw who performed the male and female parts. Using his falsetto voice – an attribute which was once taught in Italy in the middle ages resulting in the singers being known as castratto (please, don't ask) – Shaw sang the SuBo hit from Les Miserables as he duetted with himself in I Know Him So Well. In The Phantom of the Opera sequence he once again sang the famous duet which takes Christine, the soprano and The Phantom to perform, all by himself. As for the three dancers, two glamorous blondes and a bonny brunette, they proved their versatility by dancing a variety of styles from musical comedy to modern with a brave attempt at Irish River Dancing which drew cheers from the audience. The finale saw Shaw resplendent in a mint green sparkling shirt and matching flares with the dancers in glittering jump suits so there was no doubt that we would hear something from Mamma Mia and we certainly did. This night at the theatre was indeed a feast of tunes from the musicals which at first, thanks to Mr Shaw's dual voice, seemed a little hard to digest but soon became an acquired taste."

"I’ve seen JJ quite a few times now. He always plays for the crowd. A lively mix of sixties and seventies classics, Irish, some Country some Rock ‘n’ Roll, all rendered with uncanny authenticity. We love him!"

"Becky & Josh were so amazing at our wedding! Becky has the most beautiful voice and Josh’s arrangements are amazing. We asked for some let’s say interesting extra songs and they took them in their stride and delivered them absolutely incredibly. Our ceremony wouldn’t have been the same without them and they even sang our two special request songs while we were taking group pictures so we didn’t miss them while off for our couple shoot during the drinks ceremony. Thank you both so much, 100% recommend ❤️❤️"
