"Venezuelan soprano Sofia slipped in, in splendidly soulful isolation, in sleepy-slinky Barnes. Sofia’s charm comes from an ability to engage with her audience with vivacity, a slow waving of the arms or a thumbs-up cheekily pepping things up. This was a two-way process, for the audience, although in their own homes, were there via a livestream chat facility, commenting, praising and importantly requesting numbers. What were requested? Jazz standards, show numbers and some current pieces rubbed shoulders with languid classics sung in French or torrid numbers in her native Spanish. The jazz standards were impressively and beautifully sung. Cole Porter’s 1944 classic, Ev’ry Time We Say Goodbye and Meredith Willson’s 1950 show tune ‘Til There Was You, had just the right balance of poignancy and warmth of these post-war nostalgic gentle pieces. The mood changes, but not the sincerity of the singing, with the traditional folk song, The House of the Rising Sun, retaining the blues feel of a song that became the “first folk rock hit”. Then, we were transported to the late sixties with the Aretha Franklin version of I Say a Little Prayer For You. Her skill in Latin American music was epitomised by the famous bolero, written by Mexican songwriter Consuelo Velázquez, Bésame Mucho. Sofia’s soft but passionate treatment of the lyrics harked back to the dreamy sensuality of the 1940 original. I expect many of her fans were responding by blowing her lots of kisses. Nevertheless, it was not in a Spanish song that Sofia excelled, but in French. Of course, it had to be Edith Piaf’s immortalised song to love, La Vie en Rose. Perfectly rendered, both in words and music, and fervent in its performance, she expressed exactly the powered of infatuated love. Great stuff, and good to see today’s vie en rose. In these straightened times, we all need occasionally to see the world through rose-tinted spectacles. "

"Jeremy played at my husband's birthday party on Saturday and he was just fabulous. He is talented, professional, easy going and an extremely charming man. He will play moreorless anything you might like to hear and is a great vocalist. He is extremely flexible in terms of fitting in with set timings, is easy with guests and I would happily ask him to perform for me again on another occasion. I couldn't recommend him highly enough. Thanks Jeremy x"

" Stuart is brilliant. He has a great voice and the ability to perform a fantastic range of music to suit all tastes. I’ve used him twice now for corporate events, and on both occasions we have just not wanted him to stop playing, we could have listened to him all night – lucky for us he had no hesitation in giving us an encore or two! I would highly recommend Stuart, his performances have always been faultless. He is very professional, liaised direct with the venue and kept me updated, so I knew I could relax and let him get on with the job. I would highly recommend Stuart and I look forward to him performing for us again at some stage."

" Liam played at our surprise Golden Wedding anniversary at Wilmslow Rugby Club last week. He was just superb!!! He had a fantastic repertoire of songs and music and pitched it all just right for the occasion. He wasn't too loud, just so professional and good. I would recommend him to anyone wanting a top musician playing the guitar and singing beautifully. Thanks, Liam, you were brilliant!!!"

"Just a line to thank you so much for your set at our party. You really were excellent. I know that it must be a bit annoying to be playing so well and (seemingly) nobody listening, but that’s a party for you. However as people left and in the thank you notes so many people commented on what a great musician/singer you are and how much they enjoyed your music. Very professional and very talented. Many thanks and I hope to see you again. "

"This is our second time having Liam perform for us, first at one of our birthday parties and second at our wedding. Both completely different vibes, Liam suiting both as he has a wide repertoire. At the birthday party we opted for more upbeat music and the wedding sublte back ground music! He had everybody up singing and dancing along & even though the idea was to have him as back ground music whilst eating our wedding breakfast everybody noticed and enjoyed him. He is super polite & very professional! Im sure we will hire liam again. Highly recommended :) "
