Jimmy's Reviews

5 out of 5

Jimmy played our wedding aisle songs and our first dance and was a highlight of the day! He arrived an hour early and set up punctually, was completely on board with slowing our aisle song down and timed it perfectly for the brides walk down the aisle. He was lovely to chat with, made himself comfortable and performed our chosen songs with skill and confidence. Thank you for everything!

Jimmy has played at our arts centre several times and has always delivered a professional music experience. His unique gift in lyric writing and storytelling along with quality guitar playing brings an emotion that stirs everyone of us. Coupled with his soft voice and flare for acoustic tunes makes him one of the best choices for acoustic music nights and much more.

Jimmy Ireland has gigged for us over several years in our busy seaside restaurant. Friendly and accommodating, he's always willing to fill in for us when other performers have let us down. He is a popular performer, and a delight to work with. His experience and professionalism means that we'll continue to book Jimmy for as long as he wishes to play for us.
