Holly was a fantastic singer/ guitarist that we booked for our Wedding Reception. Holly kept our guests entertained throughout her time with us and many guests enquired about her after her remarkable performance. Would highly recommend to anyone needing a singer. Holly also played requests from guests

I was listening to a girl from the North East the other day, Holly Rees, and her track ‘Toast’ and it floored me. It was so brave and created by someone who was really, truly, being themselves. Don’t believe anyone who tells you there is no future in music – there is. All you have to be is good." - Tom Robinson from BBC 6 Music

Another amazing acoustic artist, Holly took to the red carpet bringing with her an instant charm and likeability. With an array of original music, Holly’s songwriting ability was clear for everyone at Wood’s to hear. Unapologetically down to earth lyricism meant each song took you through a vivid and relatable story.
