Steve Ransley hired Michelle to perform at aTreuddyn Village Carnival
Treuddyn Village Hall - July 2016

Treuddyn is a small village in North Wales and normally the second weekend in July plays host to the village carnival, however this year a village close by had already chosen the 9th of July so the committee decided to host an evening of music instead and after a personal recommendation Michelle Lawson was booked to perform a Soul Diva Night. One of the great things about booking Michelle was the fact that she also brings along a disco and her own PA. What a Coup it turned out to be for our little village, Michelle was nothing short of magnificent, she performed two sets for us with the disco in between. She took the time before the show to consult with us so that we got the best night possible. In her first set she performed a mix of older and more up to date songs. The performance of Adele’s Hello was incredible and had all of us in the audience in total awe of her superb voice. The second set consisted of songs by Soul Divas and had everyone on the dance floor which along with the disco after continued until the end of the night. Listening to people talking after the show everyone was in agreement that it was the best night we’ve ever had in the village hall, and was without out doubt fantastic value for money. I can’t wait for us to get Michelle back again and when we do I would like to hear her perform some of her own music because she is an unbelievable singer in her own right. Thanks again for a wonderful night that I can’t wait for us to repeat

Brilliant, different gravy. Paul has just performed at our wedding from singing to the disco, what a day/night. He made it a memorable, fantastic day for me, my husband, family and friends.

David and Maria Meek hired Andy to perform at their wedding in Oxford.
Shillingford Bridge Hotel, Oxford - June 2016

Andy performed at our wedding in Oxford. From the first moment I spoke to Andy I could tell how much of a gentleman he was. I watched and listened to his clips and knew he was the one we wanted for our wedding. One of our main requests was that Andy would sing our first dance. Andy didn't know the song so he learnt it for us. During the first dance my bestman had the duty to pop an exploring balloon which needed to done at exactly the right moment and Andy was able to give him a nod, it worked flawlessly. Andy worked very well with our DJ and was even dancing with some of the kids. Andy it was an honour to have you sing at our wedding. You have an amazing voice and you are such a nice guy. Everybody loved you and we even have guests talking about trying to hire you. I know someday soon you will performing to sold out crowds in the 02, we are so please to have got to meet you.

Ryan Downie hired Co.UK to perform at a Sixth From School Prom.
- June 2016

Please pass on my thanks to co.uk for their excellent performance. They were very accommodating, especially considering the issue we experienced with the sound limiter. I didn't get to say goodbye on Friday, but I was very impressed and the students loved the live band.

Lance Betts hired Jess to perform at his niece's wedding reception.
Aldwark Manor Golf Club & Spa - June 2016

We were looking for a accepella singer for my niece's wedding in York, and after speaking to Dave at Garston and doing some research on Youtube. The happy couple and everyone else involved would like to say a big thank you to Jess and Garston for letting us make the right choice…PERFECT! The timing of the songs and the voice was just ideal for the setting, especially the Ellie Goulding and Sam Smith songs were a great choice. Even when we moved on to the squadron bar, Jess kept the mood going with her choice of songs with a smile and great professionalism. Once again thank you Jess, keep up the good work 10 out of 10!

David Thomas hired Asa to perform at a Dinner Dance.
Walmersley Golf Club, Walmersley - June 2016

Where do I start? Thank you for arranging for Asa Murphy to perform at our function on Saturday evening. You were absolutely correct when you told me that he is a real pro. I can say no more than he is simply a class act. We had a mixed audience and his performance and also presentation prompted a comment from one attending that "I have been attending functions at the Golf Club for the last 25 years and he is without doubt the best artiste we have ever had to entertain us". I have received texts and E.Mails from a number of people who attended the function to say how much they enjoyed the evening which was as a direct result of Asa's performance. I know that he has performed at much much larger events than ours but when I consider that he filled in at such short notice and gave such an outstanding performance, it shows to me what a real professional he is. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending him to anyone who is looking for an entertainer who can perform some of the classic songs made famous by the likes of Frank Sinatra; Tony Bennett; Dean Martin; Matt Munro; Franki Valli; Bobby Darin and last but not least Elvis. That is I guess just part of his repertoire. He has a great personality and a great voice. I must also mention his sound man "Little Ken" who supported him magnificently. To anyone who books him in the future all I can say is that you will most definitely not be disappointed.

Abi Hanson booked James to perform at her wedding ceremony.
Seacote Hotel, Cumbria - June 2016

Myself and my partner got married yesterday and we booked James as our singer, by far one of the best choices I made for my wedding. James sang for me walking down the isle and I can honestly it was one of the most magical moments of my life, his beautiful voice and the setting had all guests in tears, myself and groom included. Such a lovely man from start to finish also, everyone of our guests had commented on how fantastic he was, what an outstanding talent! We couldn't have wished for anymore from him,I'm going to try find any excuse to book him again now!

Mel booked Andy for a 70th Birthday Party
The Barn Hotel, Middlesex - June 2016

I booked Andy for my 70th party following a recommendation from his agency and viewing his profile. His set list was extensive and really suitable for the occasion. From the moment I made contact with Andy I was immediately reassured that the entertainment part of the evening would be successful. He phoned me a few days prior to the evening and we discussed a few finer points that had been concerning me, not about his involvement but about me and one of the guests singing in one of his break times. He was most accommodating to any arrangements that I was planning, as he was also on the night. On meeting Andy, who had travelled four and a half hours to reach us, my wife and I were immediately impressed with his warmth and friendliness. He set up his equipment, helped me with mine, and brought in additional lighting to create even more effects for the room. The song choices, which we left to him, were excellent as was his performance. The music built up over the evening as we had planned and once the meal was over the dance floor was a hive of activity. During the time that I, and one of our guests, who was a professional singer, sang and Andy joined in with us for the last song. In addition he dueted with our guest singer and we both sang along with him as well as my son on some other songs. Everyone was complimentary about Andy and the party as a whole, which exceeded all of our expectations. I can unequivocally recommend Andy if good music is what you are looking for.
