We had Nick as a surprise musician at our micro wedding and we could have not wished for a better person to play on our special day. His voice and song choice was perfect. Nick is a warm, kind and extremely funny person with an amazing voice. We'd always book him again. Thank you Nick for making our wedding day even better!

Nick was absolutely amazing. He played for my husband's 60th birthday. A small intimate event for 25(ish) people in the garden, Nick was quick to pick up the vibe and created an amazing inclusive atmosphere. Nick's voice is fantastic, he is friendly, welcoming and he had a great wide ranging set list, he really made our day. Our only regret is that we didn't book him for longer.

AMAZING! Honestly, Nick has made our day so special. He learnt our first dance song especially for us and was really flexible with our choices for other key moments in our day. Our guests loved his voice and so many commented on how brilliant he was. Thank you so much for making our wedding day so special :) we would recommend him to everyone!

Nick made our daughters 18th party - he as promised played the songs that went with the party vibe after 'reading' the 'crowd'. Everyone 'sang' his praises and he made for a memorable night. Thank you Nick

Nick sang at our wedding and was absolutely amazing from start to finish. He was professional, warm and welcoming throughout and sang a wide variety of songs that reflected the atmosphere of the day perfectly. It goes without saying that he's a fantastic performer and singer and we would 100% love to book him again in the future!

Everyone commented on how good Nick was. The amount of times people asked us, ‘Where did you find this guy?!’ was unbelievable. Our first dance song was perfect and can’t wait to watch it back with Nick singing over the top of it.
