Sean was absolutely brilliant! All our guests loved him, he was there singing as we all arrived and even moved inside while we were eating. It was perfect! His playlist was just what we wanted and above all of that he was a lovely guy! Highly recommend, especially as he saved the day taking on our wedding less than 2 weeks before the day due to a cancellation. Very very happy!

Sean was a pleasure to work with in the lead up and provided a fantastic performance on the day. He has a lovely sound and a wide repertoire of song choices which importantly (on this occasion) include Johnny Cash! I would highly recommend Sean for your event or special occasion.
