We couldn’t be happier we found Caelin, he took over last minute cancellation and saved the day :) he’s mega talented and played beautifully for our ceremony and drink reception, guests were impressed, and enjoyed the music much. We totally recommend Caelin, his helpful and easy to communicate.

Caelin is a brilliant musician who was so accommodating to our requests - thank you so much!

Caelin is an excellent musician with a broad repertoire of guitar music including classical, traditional and contemporary pieces. He has a friendly and engaging approach and builds a good rapport with the audience, putting together an interesting programme and sharing stories about the pieces and his instrument.

The gig was great! Caelin's music was impressively diverse, offering a range of sounds and styles that captivated the audience's attention. The engaging presentation not only demonstrated the musician's skill but also established a strong connection with the audience, making the entire experience thoroughly enjoyable.
