    Testimonials:

    We recently had the pleasure of having Joey perform at our partners’ birthday party, and we couldn't have been more thrilled with the experience! Not only was Joey incredibly versatile and talented, but Joey also had a relaxed and friendly demeanor that helped make the party feel extra special. From the moment Joey started performing, our guests were captivated by his charm and skill, and we received countless compliments on how amazing the entertainment was. We would highly recommend this artist to anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable performance at their next event. Thank you for making the party so special! - Josh

    We booked Joey for our wedding having seen the testimonials online and listened to some of his music. Well, what a find! He was just what we were looking for and his style suited our taste perfectly. He was really responsive on email (which massively helps in wedding preparation madness), arrived promptly to set up and was really flexible and understanding when we had to move him around due to space issues. We had two live sets - one as background music during our afternoon tea and then one to kick start the evening. Both worked perfectly - he is a brilliant singer and musician. He then DJ'd for the rest of the night. What we loved best about Joey (apart from his performances, which were impeccable) was just how lovely and easy-going he was. Our wedding was a casual, small affair and it felt like Joey was one of our guests, which was just fantastic. He chatted to everyone between singing and DJing and everyone loved him! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him for any event. What a top guy! Joey, we wish you every success for the future, you really deserve it. - Lizzie and Ben Wright

    What a guy... I was surprised by my wife with a surprise 40th birthday garden party and half way through Joey turned up as another surprise. After a quick chat he was setting up and eager to get going in front of what was quite a lively crowd. Joey made the afternoon, great singing, great entertainment, great involvement, what a great addition and a lovely surprise. Well done Joey, keep up the good work, sure we’ll see you again soon 👌 - Rob

    I wanted to book a singer for my husbands surprise 40th bday party.. when I came across Joey and heard some of his music I knew straight away he was exactly what I was looking for! The interactions with him leading up to the big day were always super friendly and open and he even learnt a Michael Jackson song especially for the birthday boy! On the day, Joey turned up with the biggest smile, full of enthusiasm and got the party well and truly started! He’s a born entertainer with the most fantastic voice and everyone absolutely loved him :) We will definitely be booking him again in the future! - Lindsey

    Joey played our annual celebration and fundraising dinner. He was an absolute pleasure. Not just an awesome musician that the whole room appreciated, but a compassionate guy who made the whole night flow with ease. Thanks Joey! - Harmless (Mental health charity)

    Thank you to Joey Collins. You really made the evening incredibly special with your fantastic live music sets and DJ set. We are all really grateful for your help and support in stepping in at late notice. - Caroline Harroe

    Thank you Joey for your visit to us at The Derbyshire Stroke & Neuro Therapy Centre on Friday we had a fabulous afternoon of music you brightened our day and we cannot wait for your next visit many thanks from us all. - The Derbyshire Stroke Centre

    Joey was fantastic! From our initial booking (after meeting him at a family member's party) through to the day itself, he was in touch with us discussing our wedding and requirements. He even learnt a new song to play for our first dance! Nothing was too much to ask and we had so many compliments on how great Joey was - would definitely recommend him and book him to play at an event in future :) - Daisy & Matt’s Wedding

    Came across Joey online when searching for entertainment for the daytime of our wedding. He’s amazing and caters to all of your needs.. such a diverse and variety of songs to choose from for the set list! Very talented - highly recommend ! Will deffo love to come and see you again. Take care - Rachel & Joe’s Wedding

    So even after a 2 hour trek from Nottingham to Liverpool. Joey Collins came and stole the show! He played a huge range of songs from across the decades ranging from The Beatles all the way to Britney! All of the guests thought his performance was amazing and did not want the night to end. Excellent Points to note for potential bookings. Great guy Great comms Would happily recommend or book again. Thanks Shane - Shane’s 40th birthday

    Joey very kindly and quickly stepped in at the last minute after my original 40th birthday party entertainment unfortunately fell through. I can honestly say I wish I’d booked Joey to start with. Great communication throughout the lead up including agreeing songs for the setlist. Then on the night Joey turned up and absolutely smashed it - all my friends and family in the crowd went wild throughout, and I’ve had constant messages since about how good the night was. Thanks ever so much - I’d recommend Joey to anyone for any event as an all round nice guy with a huge range of songs and styles available to suit any occasion. - Andy’s 40th birthday

    I really wanted to get in touch to say thanks so much for Friday. We had the best time, you were incredible and really set the tone and brought the good vibes for the rest of the night. Wish we lived closer so we could come to your gigs. Honestly can’t recommend you enough! - Natalie (Hen party)

    I think it says it all as I say a huge THANK YOU to you for making Saturday evening a great success. My sister-in-law had helped me by looking for a musician online, which would be ideal for my husband's surprise 50th celebrations in December and finding Joey did not disappoint. He was so much more than a guy with a guitar :) The choice of songs for our chosen sets was perfect for my husband and his music taste and Joey was fabulous at not only performing on the night, but his organisation of the whole evening with me beforehand, was second to none. Joey went above and beyond to accommodate everything I wanted, from playing the playlist I had created and allowing my daughter to sing a song to her father with a backing track. Many of our guests asked where I had found him as they thought he was a fantastic young man :) I would highly recommend Joey for a successful evening of music.

    Thanks Joey and good luck with ALL your future bookings. We hope to see you sing at another event in the near future. - Annabelle Armes (Mike’s 50th)

    Genuinely cant recommend Joey enough. Played some absolute bangers and 100% got the party started - we didn’t want him to leave! Great communication from start to finish, you wont be disappointed. Ps w’eve since been told our neighbours were dancing along in their gardens. Joey you smashed it! - Matt Pattinson (30th birthday garden party)

    Joey was an amazing additional to our fundraising event! Ahead of the event his communication was excellent, asking us the sort of music we would like playing and he was so accommodating with our many requests! He got people up dancing on the night which set the tone for a fantastic evening. Will definitely be booking Joey again for future events! - Dawn (Fundraiser)

Book Joey!

If you're wanting a talented, personable artist for your event, look no further and book joey collins!

We knew joey was a awesome guy from his immediate responses to our messages to see if he was free to perform at our wedding and it was a real privilege to have him play on our wedding day. He played 3 banging sets across the day that was tailored to our taste in music, followed by a DJ set that kept people going on the dancefloor to the end of the night. Everything joey did was very well recieved by everyone who were praising his incredible voice and abilities on the guitar.

Joey went the extra mile in helping make the day all the more special. As a last minute request he played some classical acoustic to set the atmosphere in the ceremony room. Played some beatles for my wife to walk down down the aisle to and learnt our favourite song for our first dance. He also went the extra mile for our guests too. Taking requests for his acoustic and DJ sets, as well as regailing stories to give an indepth insight into life as a as an artist performing and travelling the world.

Joey will add that extra bit of quality to your celebrations. And book him now before he is playing at major events. How this man hasnt played glastonbury yet, I will never know!

Joey was amazing!

We hired Joey to perform and DJ at our wedding, and he was amazing. We got so many comments about how good he was as a performer and everyone had a blast at the reception when he DJ'd for us. We are so happy he was apart of our wedding!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
