Conor is incredibly talented! His voice is just something else!! He played beautiful music at our ceremony that got all of our guests talking. Afterwards, he played an hour long set for our wedding breakfast. We felt like slipping away from our guests (and photographers) multiple times to just enjoy his beautiful music on our wedding day. Would love to hear him play everything all over again! Thank you Conor!! Please do not hesitate to book Conor for your special occasion. His voice sounds even better in person than on his amazing videos!!

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

Clients love the Intimate feel I bring to each event, as well as getting the party started if required! I will work with you to make sure your event is the perfectly memorable day it needs to be!

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

Absolutely, I will handle each of the setup details and equipment needed.
