James was great. He had a flexible and no fuss approach and just got on with his set up as soon as he got here. He listened to our wishes around timings as well. His choice of songs and combination of singing and guitar fit in really well with a large outdoor family birthday party. We got great feedback from the people who attended and we would happily book him again. Thanks again James!

I really wanted to thank you so much for an awesome performance on the 25th of June at my party in Steventon. Everyone has commented on how completely brilliant you were.... I consider that we were blessed to have had the great fortune to have had you play at the event, and really appreciate the extra couple of numbers you managed to fit in for us.
