  4. booked Tomos Xerri for a wedding

    Verified

    Booked Tomas as sounded perfect for what my daughter wanted for her Wedding. The day was very hot and sunny. The ceremony took place in the Great Hall of the venue then afterwards the venue put reception drinks served outside whilst photos were taken. Therefore we have no idea if Tomas continued to play for the time booked and unfortunately didn't get to hear him play or see him.

  11. booked Paula Borrell for a private event

    Verified

    I would book Paula again in a heartbeat. The repertoire of songs she gave me to choose from was unbelievable and she took great pains to ensure that the music she played was exactly what I wanted. Anything I asked for was fine and absolutely nothing was too much trouble. She could not have been more pleasant and helpful. What struck me most was that although she was playing background music at a 90th birthday luncheon, my guests applauded at the end of each piece of music. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in booking Paula again for another party or event.

  20. booked Marc Gallagher for a wedding

    Verified

    All I can say is: Thank you Marc. It was a real pleasure! Marc played at our wedding in Manchester. He was really responsive and accommodating and most important of all - an incredibly talented musician. He learned our favourite songs for the ceremony (and they were not easy choices). He was on time and very professional - Marc sorted out all formalities with the venue in a matter of hours. Out guests loved the music (so did we) and some of them got inspired to have ukulele on their weddings! Thank you Marc - you really made our day special!
