Neil was incredible and he should be everyone’s go to instrumental guitarist for their special event. Neil played our wedding. He was easy to get in touch with, kept us updated on the run up, and thought about practical issues such as timings, song length, and placement of songs. We booked Neil about six months before our wedding to play our ceremony and drinks reception. We had a very specific idea of what we wanted played during the ceremony. Neil kindly arranged five songs for us that were outside his repertoire. They were incredible and made use of backing tracks and loop pedals. It made our wedding day incredibly special and personal. His playing during the drinks reception also helped set a nice chill vibe. Everyone commented on how wonderful Neil’s playing was during the ceremony and the reception. Simply stellar.

Will definitely be using for events again in future. Have used Neil twice now for a private birthday party and wedding music. He plays new and old songs in a classical style, great background music and always a pleasure to work with. Thanks so much again :)

Neil provided wedding ceremony music and it was 1st class! He played Grace for me walking down the aisle and also learned some song I requested in classical style for the reception. Would definitely recommend!!
