Graham Russ

Every now and again a hero comes along and Graham was mine. With less than 48 hours notice I asked him to learn a song he’d never heard before to serenade my girlfriend as I proposed to her. He did an unbelievable job, playing the song beautifully and nailing every small moment that I asked him to create. He is absolutely brilliant and made my girlfriend and I so happy. I’d recommend him to everyone. Thanks Graham!

Lumino Tones were amazing!!! Everything we could have wished for and more for our joint 40th celebration. Stunning harmonies, great playing and a joy to deal with. Elina and Graham provided nice, relaxed atmosphere initially and then had all our guests dancing and singing by the end. A superb duo and highly recommended!

I booked Graham for a company awards dinner event and he was excellent in his performance and response to the brief; providing tasteful, ambient music during dessert and then entertaining during awards intervals.  Professional both on and off stage, a real pleasure to deal with and the feedback on the night was very positive from staff, clients and special guests alike. Would not hesitate to book again!

Graham played for my 40th birthday party. He is an excellent guitarist, has a lovely voice and accommodated all of my song requests (including Stevie Wonder). Very professional, prompt communication when booking the event, would not hesitate to recommend!

Graham performed at our care home. A lovely talented guy, perfect song selection and interaction. The residents loved having him perform for them.

Elina and Graham, thanks so much for your amazing music performance at our wedding. We really appreciated your professionalism, being so flexible about the timing changes and the song choices were exactly what we wanted. It was great to see everyone dancing and having a great time, thanks so much and hope to see you again soon!

What can I say other than Graham is absolutely amazing! From the moment we asked Graham to play at our wedding reception, he was an absolute breeze to deal with, going above and beyond to learn my husbands favourite song to sing us down the aisle, to keeping our guests thoroughly entertained throughout the reception. Graham is a true class act; professional, a pleasure to deal with and just so talented. We would absolutely recommend him!

Graham was the treat for me and my guests at my 40th birthday party. It made the evening to have him sing and play the guitar live in our garden! He played my favourite songs and matched the mood of the party and warmed up the dance floor under the gazebo when the rains came. He is a true professional and everyone enjoyed his engaging music. Cant wait to do it again!

My 50th birthday wouldn't have been the same without Graham! He has a great repertoire and can certainly sing but above all, he is just a really nice guy! Graham was very professional with communicating with myself prior to the event and came early to make sure he could set up. I have had numerous requests from my guests for his details who thoroughly enjoyed him entertaining us. I cannot recommend him highly enough, once again Graham, thanks for all your help in making my evening extra special!

We booked Lumino Tones to perform at our after-ski night and competition awards ceremony. The duo were exceptional, performing a tasteful selection of songs to suit the occasion. Elina and Graham were even able to perform a few attendee on the spot song requests which went down very well. Overall, everyone enjoyed the entertainment, the highlight of the night being everyone joining in to sing 'We Are The Champions' together. I’d definitely recommend Lumino Tones for similar events!

I booked Lumino Tones to play at our company celebration event in Finland. I was really impressed with the duo’s professionalism, ensuring the booking and logistical side was a smooth process and communicating set lists well in advance. The duo even learned songs specifically for our event, including tailoring a Finnish song to suit the company and event theme! On the event day there were some changes with the schedule but Elina and Graham were really flexible and understanding and the performance itself was brilliant and very well received by staff, delegates and the local press. I would have no hesitation in booking Lumino Tones again.

So glad I booked this duo! Flawless performances from start to finish, bringing the tempo up through the evening from chilled and relaxed to dance and sing-a-long at the end! Would not hesitate to book again, highly recommended!

Graham is a great entertainer. We booked him last minute for a small christmas party we were hosting at home with a mix of kids and parents. His music was upbeat and he delivered on all of our requests. Everybody at the party were impressed. I would have no hesitation recommending Graham and I would book him for future events/parties we host.

Graham was perfect for the occasion. First off, extremely warm and friendly and played with a big smile. His set list was perfect for the venue and occasion. Really proactive with set list suggestions and didn't mind a couple of last minute alterations. Highly recommend him.

We booked Graham and Elina for our recent wedding, having been recommended to them by a friend of ours. After an initial contact we were happy for them to come up with an hour set, based on a few suggestions of our favourite songs. The great tunes just kept on coming, both classic and contemporary numbers and had our guests expressing “I love this song!!” to the people around them. Everybody commented afterwards how good they were and I think they have probably had a few more bookings because of this night. Happy to recommend these guys for any event.

Graham was brilliant from start to finish. He responded quickly to our initial contact request and was professional, considerate and a really nice guy. Our event was a family get together and it was based in a small area – Graham sang acapella with guitar which was absolutely perfect for our occasion. Great repertoire with something for everyone and fantastic voice, we would definitely recommend.

Graham played at our beer festival at The Alfred Free House at the end of October, and what a fantastic night it was. Non stop bangers got the crowd going! 100% would recommend.

Lumino Tones have lived up to and exceeded my every expectation! Their convincing, emotion-infused delivery of ever-so-beloved (and demanding!) material in, often somewhat luckluster (in my opinion), voice and guitar arrangement, as well as their interaction and necessary chemistry is undoubtedly praiseworthy. As a musician myself, through our conversations, I was left in awe of their vast knowledge of music and dedication to perfectionism. With Lumino Tones you are not just getting prime musicians but equally important, you are getting reliable, punctual and genuinely nice people. Keep up the good work!

Lumino Tones thoroughly impressed me upon hearing them perform. I honestly wasn't expecting much - it's easy not to sound remarkable when you only have guitar and vocals in your band- but by the end of the first song I was already a fan. Beyond Graham's command of the guitar, beyond Elina's masterful singing, what actually impressed me was the way their voices blended together, they way they brought the quite complex songs they perform to life, making them sound rich and vibrant, as opposed to empty and stale. Their quirky humour and stage presence is something to be sampled as well. 10/10 would contact to perform again.

Graham came to sing around the campfire at my sister in law's hen do. He was absolutely brilliant - he's got a great voice and sang loads of fun upbeat songs exactly as we had asked for. He also took requests. He got everyone up dancing and singing and we all had such a fantastic time. Would highly recommend him! 10 out of 10.

I booked Graham Russ on a whim to perform at our garden party to celebrate my husbands 50th Birthday, and am so glad I did! Graham is a true pro and a pleasure to deal with; playing and singing so beautifully, entertaining our guests of all ages with a repertoire of songs from the 60’s through to current day. His music certainly made the event extra special and created a chilled, relaxed atmosphere. I would not hesitate in highly recommending Graham (or rebooking!).

Graham made the long trek to the darkest depths of South Devon to perform at our wedding. His warm dulcet tones filled the church with wonderful acoustic guitar and singing, entertaining our guests while we signed the register. He also performed a selection of our favourite songs. Recommended.

Graham absolutely smashed both gigs, his covers at the party were all from requests from the attendees he was word and music perfect. The wedding were covers of his choice and chosen appropriately. I love his voice which is very versatile. His own songs are also excellent.

Graham played and sang at our wedding, before the ceremony and again at the evening reception. His performance was wonderful and it's one of my fondest memories from our wedding. We asked for Graham to sing All of me by John Legend for our first dance which he sang beautifully accompanied by his acoustic guitar. He transitioned from this slow song into the more upbeat evening entertainment brilliantly.

Graham and his trusty guitar provided fantastic entertainment for us and our guest on our wedding day. He played acoustically during our drinks reception and got the guests involved by asking them to select the next song from his 'lucky dip' hat which was brilliant! His song selection was spot on and perfectly mirrored the sunny, relaxed vibe of the day. He also played one of our favourite songs Elbow's One Day Like This during the wedding ceremony and even agreed to learn and play our first dance song Bonfire Heart by James Blunt which was really special. Graham is a true professional and an absolute gentleman and we would recommend his musical services without reservation.
