It was such a pleasure working with Shane every step of the way. He helped advise for some beautiful guitar pieces for our wedding and his playing was stunning. He was warm, kind, and extremely professional. I would not hesitate to book him again for any future event. Thank you, Shane!

Shane supported the children with his musician skills and professionalism when he played the Classical Guitar independently and awesomely. Everyone present commented on how beautifully he played the guitar whilst the children sang their songs. Shane was very warm and friendly and I am very happy with his ability and capabilities to play the guitar and interact so professionally with all the children, their families and their catechist on the night of our event. 5 stars for your performance Shane and thank you very much for your calm personality.
