Brian was fantastic at Mum’s 70th party. Communication beforehand was excellent, he arrived promptly and kept everyone in the party entertained with a fabulous song list.

We had Brian play at our wedding welcome drinks reception. After hearing him previously we knew he wouldn’t disappoint. Brians performance and song selection started the day off for our guests brilliantly and created the atmosphere for the rest of the night to come. We have had many messages from guests complimenting how good Brian was and what a great idea it was to have him perform. Would highly recommend to anyone for any type of event.

Absolutely amazing! Brian Cattigan was everything we could’ve hoped for and more on our wedding day. He was incredibly easy to deal with from start to finish - super responsive, flexible, and just an all-round good guy. His music created the perfect vibe for our day, and so many of our guests were raving about him afterwards. Brian really added something special to the atmosphere. 10/10 would recommend him to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and genuinely lovely musician!
