Scott's Reviews

5 out of 5

Amazing! Scott was so helpful and where my own plans kept falling through he was flexible and in fact he recommended the place we ended up getting engaged. He went above and beyond to call up different venues when the original one cancelled. He dressed to impress and is so friendly. He reassured me when things were going wrong and he was right. All my friends who came to watch loved him. Guitar skills were on point! Overall very impressed! Definitely worth hiring Scott!

We absolutely loved every moment of Scott's entertainment on 27th Jan 2024. Booked for background music for a Spanish Tapas night at our club, I was given nothing but praise for his music by members & guests who attended. Such a talented guitarist! Thankyou Scott so much. I'd definitely book you again.

Scott performed at my wedding and he added such grace, sophistication and style to our big day with his beautiful playing. Scott performed during the aisle walk in/walk out and during the wedding breakfast. All of our guests loved his playing. Scott was punctual and set up quickly with all of the equipment, even when we threw him a curve ball and decided to get married outside! We cannot recommend Scott’s service enough and we thank you so much for your fantastic performance and overall service. All the best, James and Laura B Xx

Scott played for our tv production, at our BBC Roadshows as part of the BBC ONE campaign, Restoration. He was a first class musician, and everyone commented on the dashing young man in the tuxedo! The perfect background music for our special events. Totally hassle free. He made the whole process a complete delight. I would recommend him for any event, party or wedding.

This evening truly demonstrated the appeal of live performances by talented artists. We were appropriately entertained by Scott Robertson a classical guitarist who transported us to sunny climes with great renditions by Albeniz, Fernando Sor, Terrega and others as well as some flamenco made famous by Paco Pena.
