Testimonials and reviews

"I hired Shel to perform a solo act whilst I proposed to my now fiancée. From the start Shel took the time to listen to me, understand what I needed and discuss how best he could work with me. Shel was on time, ready and waiting which really took the stress away. He is very reliable and professional. He played the perfect songs, the perfect way. Shel, you changed our lives forever and you will now always remain in our memories in a positive way. Thank you."
Joey Kolirin, Wedding Proposal, London

"Thank you once again for a terrific night’s entertainment. You made our staff Christmas party special, for the second year running. Providing background entertainment during the meal and afterwards enticing everyone on to the dance floor, getting the mood just right!"
Julia Jacoby, Company Christmas Party

"Shel played at a party of ours in 2014. We heard some impressive clips online and were very excited to manage to book him. We weren't disappointed. Lots of us got up dancing. He performed a range of covers and even took requests. He gave the party a brilliant atmosphere. Our friends all said how fab he was too, it made our event. Would highly recommend! Friendly and professional, as well as extremely talented."
Suzanne Lovell, Private Party

"Shel is a delightful and very talented young man!"
Karen Spiers (Events Manager) Springs Hotel, Oxfordshire

"Shel was really great! He was very professional and played all our requested songs perfectly and exactly when needed during the ceremony. We had a lot of lovely compliments from the guests about his voice and song choices during the reception and all the songs fitted so well to the garden party style, all in all he did a really great job!"
Clare and James, Wedding Reception, Larmer Tree Gardens, Salisbury
