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.

Made our wedding day so special
We can’t recommend Joe highly enough! From the very beginning, he was an absolute pleasure to work with – so helpful in planning and creating the perfect playlist in the months leading up to our wedding. His laid-back, flexible approach made everything stress-free, and nothing was ever too much trouble.
On the day itself, Joe was brilliant. He seamlessly split his sets between our outdoor drinks reception and our indoor wedding breakfast, creating the perfect atmosphere in both settings.
A very talented singer and acoustic guitarist and just a genuinely lovely person. So many of our guests commented on how fantastic he was. We’re so grateful to him for helping make our wedding so special.

Highly recommend Joe!
Joe was incredible from the get go. We met him at the mill house and he was amazing at singing, such a natural singer with a friendly smile. We were trying to work on a tight budget but a week before the wedding we asked Joe a huge favour if he could be our musician at our wedding for reception drinks and we were so pleased that he agreed! The time he had to prepare for this was minimal and he was so understanding and just willing to help give us a special day! The music he played was exceptional we all enjoyed singing and dancing to it and so many people asked me afterwards for his details. We could not recommend Joe enough!!

Joe and his band made our wedding truly special from the reception till the party time! 100% recommended!
Joe and his band were absolutely incredible!
From the very start, Joe was a pleasure to work with - so nice to talk to, extremely responsive, and genuinely interested in making our wedding day perfect.
What was especially touching and special was that Joe went above and beyond by learning THREE songs in the bride’s native language! The guests were so pleasantly surprised and loved that personal touch.
And the band? They absolutely killed it during the evening reception! The energy was infectious, the setlist was full of bangers, and everyone was on the dance floor.

Best vocal entertainer EVER
I would highly recommend Joe as your party singer no matter what event, how many people, Joe is your man. Extremely professional, amazing voice. Just fitting right in. He’s perfect in every way. Book him before Simon Cowell signs him!!!

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!
