Review Centre: Solo Musicians

"If you read only ONE line of this review...BOOK THE VINTAGE VOCALIST FOR YOUR EVENT! From the initial phone contact with Paula to her saying goodbye on the day, our time and experience was 100% positive in every way. My wife and I were able to choose from a huge set list of songs from various musical era's and genre's and Paula seamlessly organised all our favourites into a cracking party playlist for the wedding reception. By the third song, she had guests up dancing and by the second set, my 86 year old Auntie (who walks with two sticks), was throwing her shapes on the dance floor! Paula absolutely made our wedding day! We had guests from the age of 7 to 86 and we can honestly say that each and every one of them loved Paula's performance. Many spoke to her themselves to thank and praise her and many more told us how impressed they were and that they'd be either booking her themselves or would attend venues she'd be performing at in the future! Paula looked stunning in her classy vintage dress and her fabulous voice entertained our party and the local York residents, who sat out on their apartment balconies with a drink to lap up the free entertainment! What makes Paula so special, is that she instantly felt like a friend and a guest, not a singer we'd booked for our wedding entertainment. Her warm, open and down-to-earth personality, instantly puts you at ease and she has a brilliant Yorkshire accent and sense of humour! I loved that as I returned from the bar with a drink to keep her refreshed during her break, I found Paula sat amongst all my family, laughing and joking. We felt happy to see her enjoying the day with us and confident that our entertainment was in good hands. Our 8 year old son was desperate to sing a duet with Paula and we loved how accommodating and kind she was. Some artists would be precious about their professional set being gatecrashed unexpectedly, but Paula embraced the request and handed him his own microphone! Our family really liked and admired her for going with the flow and making the day special for everyone. So if you're considering booking The Vintage Vocalist and need a little persuasion to choose this incredibly talented Yorkshire lass, let me leave you with this... I showed my son the official wedding photo's and laughed at how happy he looked on his photo's with Paula and he turned to me and said... "What you laughing at Mummy?...I was living my BEST LIFE that day!!" I think coming from an 8 year old boy...that says it all."

"Just to say thank you for your beautiful playing on Saturday.. It was just what I wanted and made a perfect background to the evening. We were so lucky to have such good weather that our guests could be outside all evening."

"Martin is a fantastic musician and singer. I heard him at my work do last year and was really impressed by how his music got us all up and dancing. Last night he did the same for our Bootcamp party. He’s reliable, great value and sings all the classics we love singing along to. I can’t recommend him highly enough."

"We had Danny play at our wedding for the arrival drinks and through the wedding breakfast. As the weather was lovely, he played outside and the guests absolutely loved him. He played all different types of music and made the day extra special. We would definitely recommend Danny to anyone. We were gutted we never booked him for the whole day as he was amazing."

"We had the band up for our summer party last weekend and they were fantastic. Quick communication made organising the event as easy as possible, and on the day music was absolutely perfect! They judged the mood and the crowd brilliantly and played a wonderful set. Everyone has been asking when we will be having you back, so hope to see you soon!"

"Words can not express how amazing James was at our wedding hosted at Oulton Hall, 14.10.16. James was extremely helpful in our selection of music, making sure we had the right songs for our wedding. He was easy to work with and very professional. Overall, it was a great experience and we were delighted he played on our special day. We would recommend James a thousand times to anyone needing a pianist. He is a very talented man."

"Chris played the night before our wedding and was brilliant. He set the mood for our weekend with his laid back music and created a great atmosphere for our guests. Chris was really helpful with booking him and it was a pleasure to have him play for us. I can't recommend him enough. Jon "
