Kane was amazing for the 60th birthday we hired him for. He was punctual, v polite and went above and beyond to make sure all had a ball even sang a few Elvis and country songs as requested perfectly. I would definately hire Kane again (roll on my 50th) if he isn't taking the west end by storm :-) Thank You Shelley & Cathy

Well what can I say ? apart from you being such a reliable lovely young man, nothing was too much trouble for you, (including travelling so far to us on a very hot day) you are a fabulous singer. Your performance at my House warming/Birthday bash was absolutely amazing. You really made our party very special! Was so pleased that someone as obviously talented as yourself would agree to perform at my small garden party. My guests loved you, some have asked for your details for upcoming functions so very much hope to see you again soon !! Sending our thanks and very best wishes

We want to thank Kane from the bottom of our hearts for getting our Wedding Party started for us. We were specifically looking for a Soul/Motown singer for the first part of the dancing and couldn’t believe our luck when we came across him on lastminutemusicians.The fact that he had performed in Motown The Musical felt too good to be true. Dealing with him during enquiry and booking stage was completely stress free and Kane’s communications were excellent. On the night he certainly didn’t disappoint. In fact he far exceeded our expectations. His smooth, soulful voice was divine and he is a wonderful, fun performer who got almost every single guest up on their dancing feet. We had so many compliments on Kane’s talent. He was worth every penny spent. Emma & Murray Rich
