Review Centre: Solo Musicians

"Our wedding party came to life with Claire Manners!! An epic night for our evening reception! Having been recommended Claire by our wedding venue and knowing that she played at our favourite places in Christchurch, we knew we had to have Claire involved in our wedding! Keeping Claire a secret from our guests was tough, but well worth the surprise on our guests face! Claire worked in collaboration with our DJ from 11:11 events and together made the set stress free for us and taking into account our favourite music. On the evening of the wedding, Claire was unbelievable and got the vibe of our evening do. Claire was loved by all the guests with people commenting how amazing she was! Me and Elliott would like to say another huge and special thank you, you were incredible! "

Hi Charlotte and Elliott, Thank you both so much for your lovely review. It was an honour to be a part of your evening reception and was great to see your guests reaction when I started after your first dance! Definitely a night to remember! Congratulations again to you both and sending much love and happiness for the future, Best wishes, Claire x

"Dave was superb at our wedding. He played his heart (and his lungs) out, interacted very well with our guests and delivered great tone/volume - just what we wanted. He is extremely well organised too, and an absolute pleasure to deal with. If we renew our wedding vows in 10 yrs time, we know where to come. In the meantime, book Dave for your event as he is great."

"We were lucky enough to have Graham as our resident musician following some previous musicians who everyone forgot the moment they left. I have never received feedback as positive as we did after Graham left. We have already had requests for him next year and guests wanting to plan their family holidays around his sets. Truly talented and wonderful gent. Thank you for helping us create memories for our guests."

"Ollie was fantastic from start to end. He was accommodating to all of our request and was even willing to try and learn some non-english songs for us. His singing ability is top notch along with his brilliant guitar playing skills. I'd definitely recommend to anyone considering choosing Ollie for their events."

"Wow, what to say about Groovewave. Not only are they extremely talented musicians and performers who know how to fit a brief and put on a fantastic show, they are two genuinely lovely guys with a calm, friendly demeanour and an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. They had great communication from the get go, with phone calls and WhatsApp groups, we set up shared Spotify playlists to curate our evening and they smashed every part of it. Our guests were blown away with the fun energy of the evening, the lights, the smoke machine, the instruments - we couldn't have asked for anything more suited to the vibe we were looking for. We would 100% recommend Jim & Andy for any event, and want to thank you again for playing such an important and funky role on our big day! <3"

"Absolutely fantastic! The Back Beat Buskers were amazing from start to finish . Tom, lead singer and musician and James on lead guitar were fabulous musicians who entertained our party all night. The band was a surprise for our son who was absolutely delighted with them . Our guests loved the set list which was spot on for the age range and which suited all music tastes . Tom and James were professional, talented, friendly and eager to please the crowd . I would not hesitate in booking them again in the future and I will be recommending them to my friends and work colleagues . Nothing was too much trouble ! Thank you so much for making our celebration a night to remember! "

"We had Joe as our opening act at our music festival, not an easy job to be the first act but Joe bailed it and got the crowd going, good interaction with crowd members and great voice. Sung some really good songs and well priced for how well he performed, friendly and even played a little extra while the second act were setting up their equipment. Currently in talks to hire him again for a fundraiser in November if he’s available. Highly recommended."

"Kenny was great, even at short notice he was willing to travel a substantial distance for our Auntie's funeral. His performance was impeccable despite the wet conditions. We thoroughly recommend his services, it was exactly what we required. Kenny was extremely professional and respectful of our situation,very accommodating to our needs. Thank you again, Lesley, Newcastle "

"Really happy we booked Rob. His music is fun and engaging and really helped set the right mood for our ceremony and drinks reception after. So much better than playing pre-recorded music! "
