Jim was a superstar! He turned up early to set up at the pub, he sang amazingly and he got the crowd dancing in no time. My friends and family have complimented on how well he did. Thank you Jim for making my husband's birthday party a party to remember!

James was absolutely brilliant, my guests all loved him and he got everyone up and dancing very quickly. James covered such a wide range of material and was able to create such a perfect atmosphere for my 50th birthday celebration. James communicated promptly and was able to make suggestions to me about the best way to play his sets, I would highly recommend him. Thank you James for making my evening a memorable celebration.

James played at our wedding reception and he was fantastic! We created a set list together and he even learnt some special requests. I would highly recommend James to anyone, he’s super talented but also very professional and punctual. He made our day even more memorable by performing our favourite tracks and getting our guests on the dance floor! Thanks James ! Love, Michelle and Vikki x

I saw Jim perform and he was really very good. Very talented and an amazing singer. Several other people in the pub commented on how great his voice was. Really enjoyed watching him and would definitely see him again.
