Alex was superb. His repertoire and voice were fantastic and thoroughly enjoyed by all. Everyone commented on what a brilliant night they had had, compounded by the entertainment. Alex turned up well before time, provided his own stage set, a varied set list and provided background music whilst food was being served.

I thoroughly recommend him without reservation, in fact some people have already enquirer toward his availability, so hopefully it may have generated further interest/bookings.

Thanks again for a wonderful evening.

As soon as we made an enquiry we were impressed with Alexander Lomas.
We had several replies but I’m the end we decided to go with Alex because his reply was personalised and appealed to us.
From the first contact thereafter he answered any queries in a timely manner with genuine professionalism and friendliness.

On the night he was just amazing!

The first half he sang in the background allowing our guests to mingle - he was just amazing and even very kindly gave our shy daughter the courage to get up and sing. He was just so lovely with her and we are ever so grateful to him for giving her the confidence boost she needed.

Alex has an amazing voice and an amazing personality to go with it!

The second half he managed to get everyone up dancing - what a repertoire this man has!

We’ve already had friends asking where to hire him for future events - this lovely and highly talented man is in high demand!

Alex's performance was enjoyed by all of the guests who attended the event.
I can't recommend Alex enough and we will look at booking him again in the future for any other events we hold.
