It was a pleasure to have had Stuart perform for us. We had been searching for an artist who could establish a smooth, sophisticated ambiance to accompany our wedding reception. He was highly professional right from the first point of contact, and his extensive, perfectly performed repertoire of jazz and bossa-nova pieces gave us exactly what we had wished for on the day. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone seeking an accomplished musician for their occasion.

What can I say! Stuart was totally brilliant at our wedding ceremony in Bamburgh Castle – everybody said how much they enjoyed listening to his guitar playing. It set the romantic mood and enhanced the ceremony wonderfully. Stuart was also very friendly to chat to before the ceremony and looked very smart for the occasion! My wife and I will certainly recommend Stuart to anyone looking for a musician.
