Megan Lennie7 May 2025

Booked for Wedding

Maureen and Roddie were amazing, they really made mines and my husbands day special. Walking down the aisle to concerned hobbit was a real highlight, they were both really great and filled the time effectively. I would 100% recommend Maureen to anyone who would listen, the couple complemented our day and I couldn’t imagine how it would’ve went without them. Maureen was great with communicating prior to the event, if there were any issues she would let us know and make us aware of alternatives. Although we did not get to speak to Maureen and her music partner Roddie, they did message after to give us well wishes.

Booked for Birthday party

Outstanding performance by Josie. Considering the present circumstances we are now all enduring, she made such a tremendous effort to ensure everything was as it should be. Her range of music is incredible and it suited the whole ambience for the evening. I cannot thank Josie enough for the extreme lengths that she went to for our enjoyment.

Samuel Smith16 Dec 2019

Booked for Anniversary

I booked Lou for my engagement proposal surprise dinner in London and was slightly nervous as to how it would work, however as soon as I started communicating with Lou I saw that she did everything possible to assist in the organisation of the night. She was very punctual and sought a discreet place to set up. Sher performed a playlist of songs that I had sent to her a week prior to the proposal. She performed each song beautifully and also created an acoustic cover of one of our favourite songs which was just perfect. She was warm and gave her sincere congratulations after her set was complete. My partner thought she sung beautifully and we would definitely want her to sing at our wedding in the future! Thank you Lou for making our engagement truly special!
