Lewis was great, we had my Daughters 18th Birthday Party which due to Covid has been very limited with what we can do and I wanted to make it as special for her as possible and Lewis certainly helped do this - everyone loved him!!
Great range of songs and fantastic voice we will definitely use again and recommend to others :-)

Smon Sapporo is a consummate professional and an absolute diamond. I booked Simon for a corporate event and had so many people (including senior leadership) who approached me asking where I found him from and commented how great he was!
After I confirmed through Poptop, he was in touch promptly and professionally. He answered all of my questions on the lead up to the event, was flexible when making the arrangements and arrived in plenty of time on the day.
Simon is an incredible musician with a soulful voice that turns heads but also, a lovely genuine guy. I could not recommend him enough.

We booked Paul to play at my 40th birthday, festival themed, garden party. He was amazing... all the guests commented on how good he was. He played a great range of songs and had everyone singing along with him. Paul, you really made the day for me and all my guests... you were definitely the highlight of the day. I can’t recommend him highly enough!

Rhiannon arrived in good time to set up her equipment. Her whole approach was very professional. An excellent performance that reflected exactly the type of songs that we wanted. Good value for money and highly recommended.

"Very impressed with Rhiannon Rae's whole performance. The Champions League Final affected the attendance at the event, but those who came really enjoyed the evening.
The choice of music played during the set fitted perfectly the demographic of our club's membership.
Rhiannon Rae was so professional from the moment she arrived (early) to set up her impressive equipment, right though to the end of the set and packing her stuff away. Great to see a performer who plays the guitar and mandolin alongside her home-made backing track.
We will be inviting her back in 2019 and next time we hope to avoid major distractions like the Champions League Final!"
We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies
We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.
More Than Just a Song: The Warmth of a Live Acoustic Performance
Before we get into the nitty-gritty, let’s talk about the unique and wonderful magic that a live singing guitarist brings to an event. It’s about so much more than just the music; it’s about the entire feeling they create.
They Create an Instant Welcome
The warm, organic sound of an acoustic guitar and a human voice is incredibly inviting. It’s the perfect sound to greet your guests as they arrive, immediately setting a relaxed, friendly, and welcoming tone for your entire celebration.
It’s All About Heartfelt Storytelling
At its core, acoustic and folk music is about telling stories. A talented singing guitarist can create incredibly powerful and emotional moments, especially at a wedding. Whether it’s a beautiful ballad as you walk down the aisle or a heartfelt song for your first dance, their performance can add a layer of genuine emotion that you’ll never forget.
It’s a Genuinely Authentic Vibe
There’s a wonderful honesty to a solo acoustic performance. It’s not about big productions or flashy effects; it’s just pure, unadulterated talent. This down-to-earth, authentic feel is a perfect match for a relaxed, rustic, or informal event.
It’s the Perfect Soundtrack for a Social Gathering
One of the best things about an acoustic performance is that it’s engaging without being overpowering. It creates a beautiful musical backdrop that your guests will love, but it still allows for easy conversation and mingling. This is how you host a party that will be remembered for its wonderful, warm, and sociable atmosphere.
Finding Your Sound: A Guide to Acoustic Styles in Leeds
The most exciting part of the process is choosing the style of music that will perfectly complement your event’s theme. A great singing guitarist is a true chameleon, and they can tailor their setlist to create the exact mood you’re looking for.
The Folk Musician
The Vibe: Authentic, storytelling, and wonderfully rustic. This style is rooted in the rich tradition of folk music but with a modern, contemporary twist. It’s perfect for creating a warm, organic, and heartfelt atmosphere.
Perfect For: A rustic-themed wedding in a barn or a tipi, an outdoor festival-style event, or a private party with a relaxed, bohemian feel.
Plays: A beautiful mix of traditional folk songs, brilliant covers of modern indie-folk artists like Mumford & Sons, Ben Howard, and The Lumineers, and often their own beautifully crafted original material.
Ideal Leeds Venues: This style is perfectly at home in outdoor spaces, from a hotel garden to a festival field. It’s also the ideal fit for the many beautiful rustic venues on the outskirts of Leeds and in the wider Yorkshire countryside. The cosy, intimate feel of a classic pub is also a brilliant setting.
