Ken's Reviews

Ken played at our day 2 wedding after party. Ken is very easy to work with, he creates a lovely atmosphere and get the crowd going. We are very happy that Ken made time in his busy schedule to play for us. We will be keeping Ken in mind for any future upcoming event. John & Jessica (Wedsing day 2)

Ken provided brilliant entertainment from start to finish. Communication was clear and professional from the initial booking right through to the event, making everything easy and stress-free. The music was fantastic, with a great mix of different genres, so there was something in his set for everyone to enjoy. Ken was very accommodating and happy to adapt to the atmosphere. One of the highlights of the evening was that guests were able to get up and sing while Ken expertly accompanied them, which made the event even more memorable. Ken is a genuinely nice guy who helped create a wonderful atmosphere. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and versatile entertainer. Carol Mason (Joint 60th Birthday Party).
