Ben's Reviews

5 out of 5

From the very first message, the booking process with Ben was so straightforward and professional. He was clear, responsive, and made everything feel easy and stress-free – exactly what you want when planning a wedding. What really stood out, though, was the original song he wrote for us. Ben took the time to really listen to what we wanted and created something beautiful and completely personal. It’s a hand-crafted song that feels uniquely ours and captures exactly the feeling we hope for on our day. We couldn’t have asked for anything more special. Highly recommend Ben if you’re looking for someone who makes the whole process seamless and delivers something truly meaningful.

Looking for a top-tier live music experience? Don't miss the incredible Ben Kay! After two fantastic gigs at the Shield and Dagger Whitchurch, Ben has become a firm favourite with our regulars. As a premier soloist with an undeniable talent for winning over a crowd, his performances are the definition of "highly recommended." He’s a local hit that you simply have to see live. Mark your calendars, this is one act you won’t want to miss!

Customer questions

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

I always try my best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let me know.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Absolutely. This is a really popular request and we actually offer this service for free. If you'd like a DJ service via our PA after the final set until the venue closes, I can provide this for an additional fee.

How much time do you need to set up?

Part of the magic of a solo act is that I can have a speedy setup of 20 minutes and move around the venue with you should you need (indoors/outdoors etc...)

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

My set list is tried and tested for what works best to ensure guests dance and have an amazing time. However, I'm definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, absolutely! I bring my own instrument to play acoustically, you do not have to worry about anything other than having a great time!

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

If there is a special song you'd like me to learn I are happy to do this for you. There is a fee of £20 per song for this service to take into account rehearsal times etc.
