Neil played at our New Years Eve party and his voice and choice of music was fantastic. He asked beforehand if there was anything specific we wanted him to play and also took song requests when he was djing. Highly recommend Neil to anyone who is looking for a singer and dj for their event.

Neil played at my mothers 60th birthday party and was fantastic. I had a chat with Neil ahead of the party and he did a great job of including the sort of music my mother and the other guests like (they were up dancing and singing along). He even came along to the venue earlier in the day to set up equipment for us to play music before he arrived for his live sets and provided music between and after. Thanks Neil, for helping to make my mam's big day so special.

We came across Neil whilst searching for a singer/musician for our recent wedding. After watching some of his YouTube videos we decided he was the guy for us as his musical tastes were similar to ours. Contact and communication was superb and when it came to our first dance song we had something special in mind. Neil learned the particular track and believe me, he nailed it and it made our first dance so special. Neil played two 45 minutes sets and both were superb and had everyone in their feet dancing! I can’t recommend Neil highly enough. His professionalism and quality is awesome! Would I book him for future events? You can bet on it! Thank you Neil for helping us celebrate our special day with your talent. Gary and Elaine, October 2022

We booked Neil for our wedding day after seeing recommendations on a Facebook site and listening to some of his recordings. I was so pleased when he had availability at such short notice as I was so impressed with the vocals. He worked very well with us to help us create a playlist and was open to lots of suggestions. Always got back to me promptly with any questions I had. Everyone at the wedding was wowed by his singing on the day, it was fantastic. Thank you so much Neil, you were a star!
