I can’t say enough about Brian. We had a very small wedding at Neidpath Castle. Brian communicated well throughout, sent me song lists to choose from, arrived early to set up, and played every song amazingly well. He has a fantastic voice and covered every genre (and he spanned MANY-from traditional folk to Yaz to Aretha to Mumford and Sons….endless!). We had a great time!

We’re so glad we chose Brian to play at our wedding! His song choices kept our guests on the dance floor all night, and we received so many lovely comments about the music. We wanted a fun, laid-back musician who would create a relaxed, positive atmosphere, and Brian delivered exactly that. He was the perfect addition to our reception and helped make our evening so special. Completely hassle-free, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a fantastic musician for their wedding!

Five stars all the way! We booked Brian for my partner's 50th birthday, and he completely blew us away. His professionalism and great communication before the party made everything run so smoothly. His vocals were spectacular, and the setlist was exactly what we were hoping for. He brought an amazing vibe to the celebration and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the performance. A huge thank you to Brian for making it such a special and unforgettable day!!
