Review Centre: Solo Musicians

"James and the guys were just incredible. We invited our friends to a secret wedding (disguised as a christening) as we wanted an informal party atmosphere and from the very first chat, James grasped what we were wanting and produced an amazing Neo Soul evening starting with jazz and working through to funk classics. We really couldn't have asked for more. The band, the music, the dj sets, the whole thing was just brilliant and we want to do it all again!"

"I just wanted to thank you once more for your wonderful generous offer to perform for free. It has been a hard year for us and for many other charities and we have been trying to keep our Group going and ensure that our members are not missing out on any of their therapies or the social programme we devise for them. Christmas is always their favourite event and we try hard to provide not only a good meal and a festive atmosphere but also a first-class entertainer. As you will know the latter do not come cheap and it is a struggle to find someone who will provide good entertainment and at a price we can afford. Your offer to come to us for your £50 expenses was already hugely generous, but to now perform at no charge whatsoever is a really wonderful Christmas present and we all thank you so very much for your kindness and big-heartedness."

Multiple sclerosis Society of East Kent, like many other charities doing a great job, need all the help they can get. It was a pleasure to bring some cheer at their Christmas Luncheon 2025 and will be happy to do this again when required. Merry Christmas Judy and to all the lovely people at the society.

"Review visible on my Facebook page Neil played for my parents anniversary party, and we couldn’t be more delighted with everything. He played an acoustic set, followed by a set using backing to accompany his piano. He was very friendly and great fun, very responsive and fitted into our arrangements perfectly. Highly recommended"

"Andrew gave a fantastic performance to celebrate our mum's birthday. Everyone was up on their feet dancing from the first to the last song. His vocal was spot on and we would have no hesitation on recommending his services to anyone thinking of booking him. 5 Stars!!!"

"Slav was outstanding! He arrived early, set up quickly and then started the party! This was arranged for a surprise for my sister hen do and she loved it! Slav kindly did some requested songs, all of which are my sister’s favourite's. When Slav took his breaks he had a massive speaker system so played songs that we could dance to. Slav answered all my emails before hand and I can honestly say was the nicest gentleman ! I would 100000% recommend. Everyone had the best time, so thank you!"

"My bridesmaids booked Gordon for my festival themed hen party and he was absolutely brilliant. It was an amazing surprise - the Ibiza classics combined with the weather genuinely made me feel like I was in Ibiza ?☀️ Thank you so much Gordon for kicking off Sazfest in the best way ???"

"The musician was really talented however did not play the music requested so killed the entire vibe of the party. It was a party and we requested upbeat music alongside DJ but she used her own speaker and mellowed tunes... everyone obviously left the dance floor at this point and had to remind her of the request. She struggled with our requirements despite us being very specific on booking and even noted specific times on contract booking, did not fulfil contract and waste of £550"

Dear Hayley Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent event. I take all reviews seriously, as they help me improve my services, and I appreciate the opportunity to address some inaccuracies in your comments. The full fee you paid was £459, I understand that you felt the music selection did not align with the upbeat atmosphere you envisioned. However, I want to clarify that I arrived well-prepared with a curated playlist that included the specific tracks you requested, such as "Rebel Music" and "Ibiza Classics." Additionally, during our initial conversation, I offered to incorporate lively pop songs like "Havana," "Rather Be," and "Cheerleader" to enhance the party vibe. I left out your request to play Andrew Lloyd Webber/Starlight Express as I felt it didn’t align with the style of your event. Regarding the DJ sound levels, these were extremely loud throughout. I strive to maintain an enjoyable volume throughout my performances. While you noted that the dance floor, it was empty upon my arrival and throughout the ibiza classics with DJ last 30 minute set. I appreciated the positive feedback from many guests which indicates we’re enjoying my performances. As the event progressed, I was attentive to your requests, including the unexpected addition of a dhol drummer for the second set. I performed the "Morni" provided the Bollywood track to the DJ and performed alongside the DJ and which successfully energised the dance floor. I also addressed the issue with my electric violin volume being turned down by DJ immediately after he received feedback from guest complaining he couldn’t hear it! The booking was to perform 3x 30 minute sets I stayed on the dance floor except two 15 minute breaks and performed throughout the 2 hour duration. I made repeated requests to the DJ to play "Ibiza Classics," in line with your preferences, and I took swift action to address all requests throughout the night. The DJ consistently played track’s that were impossible for a violinist to play over such as Milkshake by Kelis. My goal is always to create memorable experiences for my clients, and I have consistently received positive feedback for over 20 years !

"I approached mark as I wanted a musician to play a song that my partner and I love as part of a surprise proposal. Mark got back in touch in a timely fashion and was very accomadating to all of my requests. He learnt the song, played it perfectly and was exactly where I needed him to be at the right time which really made the difference and made the proposal very special for my partner. "
