"We hired Danny to play our private party. We had loved what we heard from his profile, but nothing prepared us for how exceptional he was on the day. Professional, friendly and very understanding in the face of some fairly strange antics going on from some of the guests (we were all dressed as prawns). To top it all off, when we were quoting Fry & Laurie sketches after he'd finished, he joined in with us. I'd be tempted to adopt him if I didn't already have three kids of my own. What an amazing guitarist, singer and all round entertainer. Thanks Danny!"

"I love every time my partner and I see Sarah Mai. Whether she’s singing on her own or with her bands, always spot on vocals, great performance. Recommend her for weddings, pubs, big performances. She will always give a great performance "

"Paula Marie was fabulous! Her set of 60's dance songs got everyone dancing and enjoying themselves. She was really professional to deal with and made our event last Tuesday evening."

"We stumbled across Darren Shaw while we were away for Christmas in Blackpool. This young man was one of a number of entertainers who were booked to entertain us and another 40 guests at the wonderful family run hotel that we return to every time we visit Blackpool. Now, everybody knows what to expect from hotel entertainers, a bit of Elvis, mostly 50's and 60's songs, voices that are just flat enough to irritate without actually forcing you to get up and walk out, generally very average. Well not Darren Shaw. Darren got the longest and loudest applause you have ever heard forty something people making, he took the roof off, and deservedly so. Quite what he is doing on the hotel circuit I really don't know. You have never in your life heard anyone professional or otherwise with a voice like this. His set started with what you would expect, a couple of Kenny Rogers songs, good voice, bang on the notes very deep and easy to listen to and then the intro started for a well known Dusty Springfield song. I expected a joke of some kind, but what I didn't expect was a rendition of "You Don't Have To Say you Love Me", so perfect that I truly believed that he was miming to the original track. I suppose shock was my first reaction, desperately trying to catch him miming and show that this voice was not coming from Darren. I think everyone else was as shocked as I was. The reception this song got was rapturous at which point he actually asked if anyone thought he was miming and being me I just had to say something. He then proceeded to sing falsetto without any backing and sang both parts of "You're The One That I Want" the John Travolta and Olivia Newton John song from Grease. I was absolutely astounded. Darren Shaw can sing female vocals better than any cabaret singer I have heard. His first set had to be cut short while we were still coming to terms with what we had heard but an hour later he returned to do another 30 minutes or so. During this set we went from Tom Jones " Delilah", very reasonable, to Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" which was truly astonishing. Ask yourself, have you ever heard anyone else trying to imitate Celine Dion ?, because I haven't. They won't do it simply because they can't, but Darren Shaw can. This was followed by the classic karaoke song "My Way" which thankfully I was able to record on video camera. I have heard plenty of people singing this, from Sinatra and Presley, to the Sex Pistols, and everyone in between. Everyone sings this, and it is always the most popular song in any karaoke competition. No one else sings it like this. The only version I have ever heard that was better than Darren Shaw's was by Sinatra himself. This was better than any version I have heard elsewhere, professional or not, and the applause was thunderous. Darren finished up with an Elvis song that was every bit as good as the original, and I can say that it was a real privilege to be there that night and see a truly awesome performance from a young man with a unique and remarkable talent. After the show Darren was happy to spend nearly an hour talking to the guests and I was lucky enough to be able to have a chat to him. Only 33 but on stage for 15 years he has no appreciation of his own talent. Very down to earth and easy to talk to he told me that he has a repertoire of over 4000 songs so far and due to professional jealousy he has found it necessary to change his set completely at the last moment on a number of occasions but has been able to do this without any difficulty. He has faced hostility in some quarters as the shock that his exquisite female vocals generate doesn't always manifest itself appreciatively. This horrifies me, as his voice is truly unique and deserves a great deal more exposure. Darren has his own website which is well worth a visit, and as you will see on there he has a stage show in Kelso coming up as well as plenty of other bookings. If you get the chance don't miss his show. Any TV producers looking for talent, anyone looking for a show that will have an audience crying out for more, don't look any further than Darren Shaw, he is sensational."

"Found Ciro whilst searching for a singer or entertainer for my n new husbands Happily Ever After party. Persuaded Ciro to travel to Felixstowe and he agreed as long as we got him a room. He arranged train travel which was all messed up due to strikes. He adapted and got across London and travelled with family members. At the party, Ciro absolutely made the evening into a superb event. His voice is amazing. He chose the perfect songs to keep us all filling the dance floor all night and never for one minute showed anything but the total professional one man entertainment act that he is. With Ciro it is definitely a fabulous night."

"Believe it or not just discovering how to use tablet and technology. Hope 8 years is still acceptable for a review. In 2012 we booked Sarah and a string quartet for our wedding day . Sarah had the most beautiful voice , some of the guests were emotional, not because we were getting married but because of her stunning rendition of Ave Maria. Sarah remained performing when we arrived at our reception venue . Dryham Park Country club in Arkley Herts. Sarah and the quartet still remains to this day the most memorable part (apart from the vows) of our wedding day . A few months after our wedding day my dear friend Maggie passed away, her husband called on Sarah to sing at the funeral. A beautiful tribute for a beautiful person passing . Thankyou so much"

"What a great evening was had by all. Marcus entertained with nice music after the meal, not too loud people were able to talk. With his second set he upped the pace a bit and the dance floor was very busy. Definitely recommend and will book again. Thanks Marcus!"

"Gordon sang at our wedding on Friday there, and he was absolutely fantastic. He has the most wonderful voice, varied setlist (which he very kindly expanded for us) and kind/gentle manner. In particular I want to thank him for the stunning rendition he did for our first dance. I feel bands sometimes struggle to do justice to first dance songs, as it may not suit their voice. Gordon hit every high with ease and grace. Thank you very much Gordon, it was our pleasure to have you there."
