Scott played at our wedding in Scotland on the 30th August and we were absolutely delighted with his variety of Spanish and Italian music. He played in the background when we finished our meal and everyone loved it . Huge thanks to Scott for travelling up and back from England to attend for a few hours.. we would definitely use him again .. so so talented !!

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 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.
