Jules is an amazing singer, performer, consummate professional with great presence, generosity and a wide repertoire. For our small intimate get together he brought superb pro equipment, arranged it and took all our requests to make a brilliant night. It's rare to find someone so talented, professional and fun. We were very lucky. Best way to start our 2022. Thank you Jules 🙏🏾🎉☀️

Jules is the real deal. We realised that we had hit the jackpot as soon as we heard his pitch perfect voice and amazing guitar playing. We booked a one hour set and could choose songs in advance from a very long list to suit the occasion. It was an honour to have someone of Jules' calibre take the time to sing at my mother's 80th Birthday Party. Communication was smooth throughout the process. We were absolutely blown away by Jules' talent and professionalism. From the moment he took the mic, the atmosphere transformed—every note was pitch-perfect, every lyric delivered with emotion and charisma. His voice is versatile enough to move seamlessly from ballads to upbeat crowd-pleasers. All our guests sang along to familiar tunes as they ate dinner. You will not be disappointed hiring Jules for your event! (10 / 10) Karen James
