Very good

Louise Holliday booked Jay for her wedding vow renewal 5/5 I would just like to say a big thank you from my husband Mick and myself, for all your hard work at our event on Saturday. For those of you who may be trying to find a vocalist for that special occasion, look no further, you have found your man with Jay Irving. Jay was chosen by myself to perform at our Wedding Vow Renewal Ceremony, plus it was my 60th birthday. I can't thank Jay enough for what he did. His repertoire of old/new songs, classics like Frank Sinatra and Barry White went down a treat, but the younger generation wouldn't give up the dance floor!!! Jay does do more modern songs as well! Jay also provided a backing track for myself, as I wanted to surprise my husband by singing him our favourite song, it's one that meant a great deal to us, so here I have been practicing madly to a karaoke version and Jay managed to pull the track for me which enhanced my performance. I couldn't have pulled that one off for sure without Jay's help. He had to hang around for a while whilst the room was changed around and not once did he complain, he was a pleasure to have and I know I chose the right man for the job, totally approachable. So like I say guys, if you are in the market for a vocalist, look no further, they always say word of mouth is the best compliment anyone can get and we were overjoyed with our choice. I would definitely have Jay to perform again if the need arises. Jay, you're a star, many thanks!

Catherine A, Birthday Party on 22nd February 5/5 On 22nd February, I held my 60th Birthday Party at Skylark Golf & Country Club in Hampshire and I decided to look for a good, experienced singer who could sing Swing songs, dance songs & DJ. I searched the Garston Entertainment website & found Jay Irving. Garston Entertainment made the booking process easy for me & Jay was outstanding. His singing voice was great & he got everyone up dancing. All my guests commented how good he was. He was very friendly & made all my specific requests happen. He made my special evening a memorable night for everyone. (5 stars)
