"Would highly recommend! It was such a breath of fresh air organising the set with Matt. All the guests were really engaged with the songs and joined in to sing along and requested more songs through the evening. Matt easily could have been the main act for the whole night with such a variety of music he can play and his flexibility in terms of taking requests!"

"What a wonderful start to our celebration. The live music and the wide selection of music worked wonderfully as our guests arrived to help celebrate our wedding. The 3 hours set was a great accompaniment to our pre dinner drinks. Highly recommend for any occasion."
