Sharon Scullion hired James to perform at her Birthday Party at Thornton Hall Hotel & Spa, WirralI just wanted to say thank you to James for a super performance on Friday at my 40th birthday party. James began with a few swing songs as guests arrived and were sitting to eat, then about 30 minutes in, he upped the tempo a bit and got people up dancing and singing along. With a few jokes thrown in (mostly aimed at me!), he had guests laughing and really enjoying themselves. James was very professional, looked the part and made my party.

Sam Smith Booked James for her EventI booked James Loughlin to perform a Motown Evening at Moseley Golf Club on Friday 10th November 2017. He was brilliant from start to finish. He did two sets and the music he played during his break was just as good. James arrived promptly. If I am not mistaken he didn’t even manage to finish one song before the guests were up on the dance floor. The lights PA was all very professional and made a fantastic atmosphere. It was my first event I had to organise as Lady Vice Captain. The evening was a huge success and I have had quite a lot of positive feed back. Thank you once again if the club would allow me to have another Motown next year I definitely will book James again. Many thanks

Michael Price, Captain booked James for a presentation EveningWe first saw James Loughlin at the Park Golf Club earlier this year and we were so impressed we booked him for a presentation evening held on 26th November. Not only a good singer/entertainer but very personable and accommodating young man, he brought and set up his own equipment and provided back-ground music for us during the interval, etc. Very capable of a wide range of music, he is well recommended. Thank you very much.

Helen Clark hired James to perform at her wedding drinks reception at Cameron House on Loch LomondI just wanted to say a huge thank you to James for his performance during our cocktail hour on our wedding day. His set was perfect for the ambiance we wanted to create and his performance was complimented by many of our guests on the day and following the wedding. James was warm and friendly, he was able to read the crowd well and his vocals didn't disappoint. He arrived in plenty of time and his set up was good, the pre wedding communication was also really good and he was very understanding when I had a family emergency and couldn't have our final pre wedding chat about the playlist. I would highly recommend James for future events, especially if you are looking for someone to create a swing/jazz atmosphere with a twist of modern, our guests loved him.
