Paul's Reviews

Paul played a brilliant set at my Italian-themed birthday party. The music was lovely and it was as if we were sitting by the grand canal in Venice! It really made the whole event, especially the stuff he sang in Italian.

Paul performed at our wedding ceremony, and it was absolutely beautiful. We were in contact with him for over a year in advance and he was so helpful from start to finish. He even accommodated a change in setlist two weeks before the big day! Highly recommend!
