We hired David to perform at my Wife’s 60th birthday party in our garden. The initial engagement with David through to the performance on the night went flawlessly. He is a remarkable and talented performer and such a genuine lovely individual. Everyone commented on how great his performance was and definitely the talk of the Party. I highly recommend him and would definitely use him again in the future.
