Testimonial Event: 50th Birthday Surprise Role: Keyboardist Date: 07/03/26 Bobby provided an outstanding performance at our recent event. He arrived promptly, was fully prepared, and handled both set-up and pack-down seamlessly and professionally. From the moment he began playing, the atmosphere in the room completely shifted, guests were truly in awe. His talent, musicality, and presence elevated the entire experience and made the celebration feel incredibly special. Bobby was a pleasure to work with from start to finish, and I would highly recommend him for any event requiring a high quality live musician. Thank you again for helping to create such a memorable occasion. Boma B’Vine Collective 🎶

I booked Bobby to play at a Valentine’s Day event, and he was fantastic from start to finish. He was professional throughout the booking process and always prompt in responding to my enquiries. On the day, he arrived punctually, dressed appropriately for the occasion, and came fully prepared with all his equipment and the necessary documents requested by the venue. He’s a highly skilled musician with a wide repertoire that suited the atmosphere perfectly. I will definitely be booking him again and recommending him to others. Wura
