Andy Bellis
"First set tonight is provided by Andy Bellis, solo artist based in the Wirral, I’ve not yet seen him perform; the beauty of these gigs is you really do discover new treasures. Very cool, wearing a trilby and customised denim jacket, with white acoustic guitar, he does fill this stage with his presence and is instantly likeable. A full set, lots of content, very accomplished playing, but it’s the vocal that wows! Such a range, from low, grating tones with a raspiness, to full, loud and real angst ridden sounds; notes are extended and held with brilliance and real ease; very comfortable up there on stage before us. Instant feels are indie then, once Radiohead covers begin, come the more sorrowful and grunge feeling sounds; then during others a slight folk or indie/folk feel.
When the full extent of vocal range is used we get tingles down our spines; it’s haunting, atmospheric and you can literally feel the spectrum of emotions conveyed during each song. A gentle at first, then rousing and meaningful, cover of ‘Hallelujah’ is stand out. The crowd reaction after each song is just incredible; safe to say Andy has gone down super well and has certainly earned some new fans tonight, as afterwards he ‘s inundated with members of the audience wanting selfies and autographs. Very, very well received indeed. an absolutely stunning vocal, genuine interaction and a real set to remember. Honestly, check Andy Bellis out ‘cos this vocal is seriously special.

"I can’t recommend Joe highly enough.
My request was a little different in that I needed him to play a couple of songs for a proposal idea, and Joe was enthusiastic, helpful, flexible and just generally a dream to work with. He provided an amazing sense of calm to a hugely nerve wracking day and his performance was breathtaking.
If you need a soulful, talented, kind and downright incredible guitarist and singer, Joe is your man. We’ll never forget him. "

"Matthew played an acoustic set during our wedding reception in a beautiful open courtyard at Meols Hall. His performance was perfect for the setting and the day. He really helped to set the atmosphere we were looking for during the reception. I can't speak highly enough of Matthew's ability as a singer and a guitarist.
Prior to the big day, Matthew was responsive to questions, engaged in calls to discuss details of the day, and worked with us to create a set list to fit our wedding day. He was professional from start to finish, and I would highly recommend Matthew to friends and family for future events."

"We met Juan by chance in a square in Valencia. We were looking for a guitarist for our daughter’s celebration of life and we had not found anyone. We heard him singing and i approached him and he was so gracious and friendly. And, a beautiful voice and guitarist. We hired him on the spot and a few days later, he was a pivotal part of the event. He had learned many of my daughters favorite songs and he has so many in his repertoir.
He was amazing. We have since hired him twice more for parties and always makes an impact. A true professionale and and all around wonderful human! A highly recommend Juan!
