Grigore was always reassuringly prompt in his replies to our preparatory questions and pitched his performance perfectly to the occasion and venue. We were so pleased with the outcome and everyone enjoyed his contribution to our evening.

Thank you so much for your kind review, David. It was a pleasure to sing for you?

5 out of 5

Grigore's performance was amazing and thoroughly enjoyed by my very poorly wife, myself and all our guests. Grigore willingly extended his performance to include both extra opera and modern songs. Numbers, backed by his guitar playing, were especially appreciated. A wonderful afternoon was had by all.

I hired Grigore for my birthday party, I was stunned when I heard his angelic voice and very impressed by his professionalism. We had a lovely chat after his performance and he is a very genuine man. I was overall extremely happy with his service and would definitely hire him again.
