I've had the pleasure to perform with Will on a variety of highly demanding gigs. He is hugely capable, inventive and versatile. Will has fantastic musical ability, both as a drummer and a lead vocalist (he has a particularly keen ear for harmony too), and can also give you a run for your money on the guitar. His encyclopaedic knowledge of music has come in extremely useful on many occasions when we have worked together. Will is also a great communicator and a charming person to be around. I wouldn't hesitate to hire him, his dedication and talent are outstanding, and his wit and good nature would improve any situation you could throw him into.

Having got to know Will for the last seven years, aside from being impeccably polite and charmingly funny, Will would be an incredible blueprint for any future artists to model themselves on. Unfortunately or fortunately, there is only one Will Jaquet and the door will remain open for him as long as we operate as he is an exemplary human being who we are proud to represent.
