Wow - What a very talented and musician. I highly recommend booking asap. Martin John performed at my wedding (50 guests / outdoor location). He has a fabulous voice and is completely lovely. It didn't take long to get everyone up and dancing under the stars! Martin John's set helped to make it a wonderful evening. I can't wait to have him back for our next party.

M J & the Fellas are quite an impressive swing band! With Martin's distinctive voice reminiscent of the greats, they deliver an incredible performance every time. We have been booking him since opening our doors in April 2023 and are already booking our 2025 dates as they they pull in a large audience. If you are planning to see them live or looking for that special band for an important occasion or corporate event, I would highly recommend them.

We would like to thank Martin for everything he done for us on our special day. Him and the band was an amazing addition to the wedding. Seemless from start to finish, with all the guests complimenting how brilliant he was. We will definitely be booking again for future events. Thank you Jack and Jamie Leigh
