Max has been a regular entertainer at our club's social events for a number of years. With the accompaniment of his guitar Max has been a very popular visitor as he engages our members with a well thought out selection of songs tunefully sung with great enthusiasm and skill. His repertoire is wide and well presented to suit the audience. I have no hesitation in recommending his services. Please contact me with any query. Henry Jacobs Social club events manager
