No words… just WOW!
Not really sure where to start, apart from MAKE SURE YOU BOOK JOE!!
Honestly, he was so kind, amazing communication, offers great advice, and an INCREDIBLE singer!!
I booked Joe as a surprise for my sister’s wedding having her mention she had seen him on Instagram. It was the best decision I made. I sent him my list of songs, with 2 new ones for him to learn, and he executed them all to perfection. Those special touches he can offer really made an impact!
Joe set up his equipment without a fuss, very quickly too. He dressed smart for the occasion and allowed our guests to video/take pictures. These memories will last a lifetime, and I’m still smiling at how surprised my sister was on her wedding day. Thank you Joe for helping to keep this all a secret, we both did well!!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE book Joe for any party/wedding you have.

Just Awesome!
Joe is an absolute gentleman, fabulous performer/entertainer and extremely patient. A number of us parents, for a small village primary school in east Berkshire, hosted an end of year / end of primary school party for the year 6 class (11 year olds), and we wanted to inspire the kids with a live performaner. They were in awe of Joe as were all the mums and dads
Joe was so friendly and engaging with the kids and adults, playing all genres of music that completely captivated the audience. We were lucky with the weather as it was a hot summers evening in early July. The party was held outdoors and no doubt the surrounding neighbours enjoyed the live session also. I want to say a huge thank you to Joe and would highly recommend him for any event.

Joe was absolutely incredible and truly made our party unforgettable.
Jos is a versatile professional, with a lovely manner and was so friendly and easy to work with. He has a wide repertoire of songs and was enthusiastic and happy to learn new ones. His performance was flawless, energetic and every one was up dancing - making our party truly memorable. Everyone couldn't stop talking about him afterward.

Just perfect
I don’t know what more we could have wanted from Joe. We were looking for someone to gently invite our audience onto the dance floor and keep them there. We found him to be warm, professional and a very talented musician.
Joe’s communication and professionalism leading up to the event were excellent. He felt like a comfortable pair of dancing shoes, I knew from the way he worked with us via email (other options were available), that he would make our event a success. He asked for and listened to details of our audience and developed a suitable playlist from the small selection of songs we provided. The audience were invited to make requests but everyone was happy dancing and we didn’t need to.
He had us all up on the dance floor for the whole session. Our audience was aged 24-68 and somehow he appealed to them all. The quality of his sound and voice was fantastic and I was pleased that the volume was pitched just right as we were in a small space where it could have been deafening.
He turned up on time, was calm and organised (when I wasn’t), set himself up without any fuss, managed to chat with us to check things out and actually just make me feel more relaxed and then suddenly he was changed into new clothes and started the party off!
He made no demands. Played a fabulous range of music to appeal to everyone over the allocated amount of time and then finished, tidied up and left again with no fuss yet with a friendly, sunny disposition.

Fantastic musician!
We had Joe at our wedding reception a couple of weeks ago, he was incredible! He had everyone on their feet dancing and singing along, and so many people came over to tell us what a great set Joe had done for us. We would highly recommend Joe for anyone throwing a party or wedding! Joe learnt new songs for us, including our first dance.. on top of an extensive selection of amazing songs he already had on his song list! His communication in the lead up was amazing and put us at ease. We won’t hesitate to use Joe again at any future events we plan! (In fact I’m trying to find an excuse to throw another party so we can!)

Incredible
Wow what can I say! Joe was booked to sing at our drinks reception as a surprise by my family after we’d found him online and were amazed by his voice! Joe is incredibly talented and such a lovely guy! He learnt a couple of songs just for us and it was amazing! Highly recommend!

Absolutely amazing
Joe was just amazing. He definitely lived up to expectation and more. He was easy to contact before our wedding. Joe really made us feel at ease before our big day.
The dance floor always had people on it, our guests absolutely loved Joes voice. Including the toddlers who got up and had a dance.

Fabulous performer
Joe was such a professional- he communicated quickly and clearly before my 60th birthday party. He gave me a song list so i could give him some guidance on what songs/singers i liked. On the evening, Joe was prompt, polite and nicely dressed. He was excellent at engaging with my 50 guests and was great fun and an excellent singer. You won’t be disappointed if you hire Joe for your event.
