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.

The Uncles
"If we had marry ten times, we would chose The Unlces!!
Amazing!! If our wedding was perfect to us, it's on them, no doubt!
They played live on the ceremony, during the aperitif and the cake cutting moment.
They also took the dj set party upon them and they made us dance and sing all the way.
They were super kind and friendly, they also performed live a song we requested!
We couldn't do better choice!
Highly recommended!

The Italian Tenor
"Yuri came to sing at my husband's 50th birthday party. It was a surprise not only for my husband but for everyone at the party. I couldn't believe a real tenor was singing in our garden, it was such a privilege to hear someone with such talent at such close proximity. We were enchanted for the whole duration, even some of the smaller children sat down to listen! My husband said it was the best and least expected present ever, so we are all super happy. We not only enjoyed the amazing voice but also the ability to get into the characters of the arias, from the sad 'e lucevan le stelle to the funny 'la donna e' mobile'. And the amazing version of 'nessun dorma' at the end, we didn't want it to end! Thank you so much Yuri, we thoroughly enjoyed every single moment and I hope we have the chance to hear your beautiful voice again soon."

"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!
