Paul was a true professional and all our guests really enjoyed his sets. He played a few special requests for us which brought back so many memories. We would recommend Paul to anyone and would readily book him again.

We are so pleased that we chose Paul for our afternoon wedding music. Super easy at all stages from booking to him playing on the day. He was professional and genuinely a really nice guy. On top of that, we were blown away by his voice and music, I know all of our guests were too! Such a talented musician. Massive thanks, Paul. You helped make our wedding day the best day ever for us both! Nicola amd Jason x

Paul was a pleasure to deal with and nothing was too much trouble for him. All of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed his performance and how personable he was. Paul has a very pleasant, relaxed and confident style that contributes greatly to his overall performance. His attention to detail was particularly noticeable in respect of any special songs that had been requested prior to the gig as well as requests or announcements on the night itself. Thanks once again Paul - you did us proud!

We couldn’t have asked for a better singer for my 21st birthday! I had so many people come up to me after he had finished his sets and tell me how great he was, couldn’t recommend more.

Paul is sensational! Not only is his voice incredible, but he is very entertaining and great with putting his audience in a fantastic mood. We have booked him again as there have been many people asking for his return. If you book with Paul, your event is guaranteed to be a huge success.
