I would book Daniel again and again! Not only is he a very talented musician and singer, (with an amazing voice) he was also such a pleasure to deal with - a genuine lovely guy and fast communication, and he went above and beyond for the bride to be, even learning one of her favourite songs. Daniel - thank you, you were fantastic!

I would recommend Daniel to anyone, he was fantastic to deal with. Polite and quick to respond. Went over and above for us by learning a new song which he couldn’t have executed any better for us. A very special moment. All of my guests commented on how great he was. Wonderful addition to our wedding day.

I run a busy bar/restaurant in Dover town centre. I booked Daniel McGuinness in for a Sunday session after hearing some fantastic reviews online, he did not disappoint! He played and sung all the favourites & classics that everybody knows & loves! Also one or two of his own songs that everyone enjoyed, he had my bar singing along, everyone enjoying every minute. He was interactive with the crowd & very professional, yet warming. I WILL DEFINITELY be having him back. Thanks Daniel for a great afternoon and see you in 2023, all the best of luck in your career.

Daniel played here at the Musket Brewery on 4th November for a two-hour set. Daniel showed up in good time to set up for his performance, and played an entertaining and wide-ranging set of well-known classics which the audience thoroughly enjoyed! I have booked Daniel again for future dates next year.
