"Efrayim Fischbacher brought the house down at Dublin clarinetWorld with a performance and volume masterclass that will live long in the memories of all who attended. At 95 years old, Fischbacher is nothing short of a living legend, and his wit, charm, and unparalleled energy made for an unforgettable experience. Known as “the world’s loudest clarinet player,” Fischbacher more than lived up to his reputation. His booming renditions of classic jazz standards filled the room with a vigor that belied his age. At one point, he even shouted his catch phrase, “Oompah!” to the delight of the audience. The masterclass itself was equal parts education and entertainment. Fischbacher peppered his teaching with captivating anecdotes from his days in the 1950s jazz scene. His tales of smoky clubs, impromptu jam sessions, and larger-than-life characters were as colorful as his clarinet playing. Despite his larger-than-life persona, Fischbacher was generous with his knowledge, sharing practical tips on controlling dynamics, enhancing tone, and, of course, projecting sound with authority. Aspiring clarinetists and seasoned musicians alike left with invaluable insights—and a newfound appreciation for the art of making a statement with volume. Efrayim Fischbacher’s appearance was a celebration of music, history, and the sheer joy of performing. His charisma and storytelling were as commanding as his playing, and his presence at clarinetWorld was a true gift to all who were lucky enough to be there. Bravo to a legend who continues to inspire across generations!"

" Facebook - Venue Sunday, December 27,2020 Hi there, I just wanted it to be known that the Luminaria this year was spectacular. The boyfriend and I have gone in previous years, but this year was extra delightful. Loved how it was not over crowed; might have been a covid thing but it worked for us. We hope that this might be a keeping feature, staggering people amounts and entry times. It was also much nicer to arrive in our own vehicle than cramming in on a bus with loads of others. To top it off, the accordion player complimented the night wonderfully. Well, done to all those that made our night!! Candace & James "

"Amazing entertainer from start to finish! We booked Ed as our Crooner for my mom’s 80th birthday/retirement party. He was friendly, professional, and responsive from the start. Whether we needed help with last minute details or announcement we asked to add, Ed was very accommodating during the event. This made us feel at ease knowing that our event was in capable hands. He exceeded our expectations, ensuring everyone was entertained, from the grand entrance to the end of the event. Ed was also fantastic at reading the room and tailoring the tunes to cater to the guests. He kept our guests entertained and the dance floor lively. He truly went above and beyond to make our special day memorable. If you're looking for a Crooner for your event, I can't recommend Ed highly enough! "

"First of all - WOW! I had very high expectations to begin with but you surpassed those in the first ten minutes. You are a true professional and having you perform at our wedding made the event. All the guests were impressed and had a wonderful time. Thank you so much for your time and efforts. I will be sure and recommend you every chance I get! I hope to get a chance to see you perform with your entire band sometime soon! Best Wishes, William & Meg Suave"

"Vince is the best! I can't recommend Vince enough. I hired Vince to celebrate my 13 year old daughters life. Everybody was highly impressed by Vince. If you are looking for a traditional Hawaiian ukulele or guitar player for your next event, don't hesitate in booking Vince. A1 *****"

" John V. • July 3, 2019 What a wonderful show for us Johnny Cannella recently DJ'd and performed at the scholarship awards lunch for the Grumman-Northrop Grumman Retiree Club. Johnny was great. He prepared well, planning in advance with music for the audience we described to him. He had the audience, both young and old, dancing to the tunes they loved and enjoying his singing. He brought attendees, both retirees and the high school graduates and their families, into the fun of the event, but in an unembarrassing way. We've never seen so many attendees say how much they loved a DJ and asking for his card. We certainly hope to bring him back."

"When I first saw him, he was booked as the Teenage Crooner and I was so amazed at his talent and style and how he appealed to all age groups, I immediately booked him for a private function. Neither I nor my guests were disappointed and as the years have gone on he has got better and better becoming a staunch professional and not just as a 'crooner' but as an entertainer. I have been to several of his gigs and can only say that as his voice has got stronger, his repertoire larger, it gets harder and harder to book seats which shows just how high his popularity is and deservedly so as well. I would have no problem with recommending Tom Fitzpatrick to any of my friends or indeed to anybody in the leisure industry who is looking for a talented and professional singer to entertain their customers."
