Hi Neil, Hope you're keeping well. Just a quick email to thank you for all your help in finding Rihanna and the Lookalikes (Brad & Angelina). We enjoyed Rihanna's entertainment - She was fab, sang really well and pleased the crowd. Our company were very happy with her. Brad & Angelina did a superb job on the red carpet and also afterwards at the champagne reception. Angelina looked bette than the real thing. We really enjoyed their company and once again would like to thank you for all your hard efforts. We here at Corona would like to wish you and your team a very Merry Christmas and a fantastic New Year. We look forward to using you again in the very near future. Take care, Kind regards, Mona

Hi Neil, Just a quick note to express our thanks to James Franklyn and his band. The guys were really accommodating, really professional and their set was exceptional. They read the audience perfectly and provided a party to remember. I would have no hesitation in re-booking this band again in the future. Truly fantastic!

Just wanted to drop you a line to say how great To the Max were at our wedding on 21st October 2011. They played a fantastic set and played a good range of music to suit young and old. The dance floor was full all evening - it was only a shame that the evening had to end! We have had loads of our guests ask where we found them and have not hesitated to recommend both the band and Garston Entertaiments. Thank you again for making the evening such a success. Regards, Ellena and Garry Llewellyn

Lynsey and Russell, 7th August 2011

Hi, We would like to say thank you for providing "To the Max" for our wedding on the 16th July. They were absolutely fantastic and although the wedding was 4 weeks ago some of our friends & family are still saying how good they were. Darren was a pleasure to deal with and played all of our requests both with the 2 brilliant sets and the disco. We had a fantastic day and the group were a big part of that and many thanks again.

Andy & Tracey, Wedding, 16th July 2011

Dear Neil I am writing to thank you very much for recommending Chris Lloyd to me when I contacted you looking for a singer to provide that 'added ingredient' for my mother's 80th birthday party on 16th July. Chris was really fantastic, his singing and keyboard playing were absolutely right for a family party where the age range spanned from 8 years to 80+. Not only was he incredibly engaging and friendly with us all, he was very supportive of my daughter who wanted to sing for her grandma on her birthday. All of our guests were very complimentary about Chris and the range and quality of his song list, he was absolutely professional throughout and I wanted you to know that we would definitely recommend Chris for any occassion, formal or informal. I have already told him that I very much hope there will be another occasion when I can book him again either through my work or a family event.

V. Rosin, 16th July 2011

Neil, Thank you so much for all your help prior to and at our wedding. To The Max were excellent and really got everyone dancing when they were playing. An excellent first and second song especially! Thank you again.

Hi Neil Just a short email to ask if you can pass on out thanks to Simon. He was absolutely fabulous and all of our guests loved hearing him perform. We only have one disappointment and that was that we didn't kidnap him and keep him here in Scotland for all our events! Thanks again, I'll happily recommend both Simon and Garston Entertainments to anyone looking for a high quality act. May 2011

Charlene Condeco Disability Adviser NHS Forth Valley Disability Service

Just wanted to contact you and say what an amazing entertainer J T Kane is and certainly was on my husbands 40th on 5th March. He sang a wide variety of songs, chatted with the crowd and came off the stage and wondered round the room which we all thought was great. He was a true gent and definately had a cheeky side to him too which was probably the Liverpool lad in him. Very professional, did exactly as we asked and more. Would definately recommend him to people I know. Secondly can I thank hugely the lady on the other end of the phone - You are a star too, you helped me in a very stressful moment - Your fab at your job. Keep up the good work!!!!

Mrs Joanna Lisle, March 2011

Hello Neil What a perfect choice Simon Dorey was for my 50th Birthday Dinner celebration. He was everything you said he would be and more; fantastic singer wonderful entertainer and very very personable. Everyone enjoyed the evening especially his Michael Buble songs. The music choice for the dancing afterwards was also perfect everyone thought I had chosen a playlist. Simon also accommodated my amateur passion for singing and allowed me to sing (after much persuasion of course) at the end of the evening which was the icing on the cake. Many of my friends now want to book Simon for their 50th's which is a great testament to his talent and professionalism, just glad that I was the first one to introduce him to everyone (well with your help of course). Thanks so much for all your help and advice which enabled my 50th to be such a memorable occasion for not only myself but for everyone that attended. So pleased you recommended Simon Dorey Lorraine

Lorraine Morley, 19th February 2011

When I was looking for a 70s Tribute Band for my charity event, I put my faith in you to supply me with the right act for the occasion. You suggested 70s REVAMP, and I accepted your recommendation. At the end of the night I must have been approached by most of the people in the club, and they were all saying the same thing - what a brilliant night and that the band were fantastic! 70's REVAMP had the place rocking from the moment they took to the stage. They made the night the great success it was. I cannot recommend Garston Entertainment and 70s REVAMP highly enough. Thanks to you both. Kind Regards

“We have been working with Garston Entertainments for a couple of years now and they have been a pleasure to work with. The staff at Garston are helpful, friendly and well organised, and the artists on their books are always talented, professional and punctual. Whenever we book a Garston entertainer for our events we know that we don’t need to worry and that everything will run without a hitch!”

Hannah Ward Event Manager, Weddinglink

Since working with Garston Entertainments our entertainment offering has improved immensely. Having a reliable, professional and dedicated agency running our entertainment programme has enabled us to put in place long term advertising campaigns which have helped increase our visitor numbers & improve revenue. I look forward to continued success with Neil and his team

Paul Picton General Manager South Pier

I have used Garston Entertainments for twenty years and they are by far the most professional agency that I have ever worked for. Garston Entertainments do there upmost in getting the best gigs to suit the acts that are on the books,a delight to work with.

Darren Shaw Professional Musican

its a pleasure to be represented by such a professional team. The decision to have Garston entertainments manage my diary was one of the best decisions i have made in recent years. They constantly strive to improve my quantity and quality of work. They are 100 % professional 100 % of the time.

Derek Jones - Professional Singer

I have worked with Garston Entertainment for almost a decade, and during that time I have always found the management and staff at Garston to be totally professional, fully committed, and terrific ambassadors for the entertainment industry. Most recently, Neil has been instrumental in helping to arrange some amazing fundraising shows for Age Concern Wirral, this has helped to raise the profile of the charity to new heights, and generate much needed income for the charity. His latest stroke of genius was to arrange Tony Christie for a charity concert to be held in February 2011. The entertainment supplied by Garston for a variety of events has been of the highest calibre, the events have included Charity Balls, Picnic Concerts, Theatre Shows and Sportsman’s Dinner. I can honestly recommend Neil and his team at Garston Entertainments to any prospective client.

Malcolm Mottershead Senior Manager - Business Development Age Concern Wirral

I have been dealing with garston entertainments for 16 years now,and i have had an excellent and very healthy relationship with Neil and his team. Neil is very professional and works very hard behind the scenes ,he takes a lot of pressure off me dealing with all the paperwork ,which leaves me too concentrate on performing and giving clients an excellent day or night. I feel honoured to have a guy like Neil working as my manager ,and i am very pleased to class him as a friend. Garston entertainments are by far now one of the largest agencies in the uk with top class acts queing up to get on their books. Neil ,Nicola and Kate,it is a pleasure working with you and long may it remain.

We have worked with, and have been solely represented by Garsten Entertainments for a number of years. They have helped nurture our act and acted as mentors as well a management as we've progressed from pubs and clubs to an international act. Under their guidance we have won several awards including " Act Of The Year 2009 ", at the same time the Garston Team won " Agency Of The Year ". We have a good solid and honest relationship and look forward to working and progressing for years to come.

We have used Garston Entertainment for over ten years to supply our entertainment and discos to the Stadium. In that time we have found them to be very a professional company to deal with, who have provided us with just the right act for the right occasion. Often we have asked for an act at very short notice and again they have always managed to provide what we need in the time and price scale. We cannot speak too highly about them and their staff who have always been friendly and helpful.
