Thanks Chris for a fantastic evening to celebrate my husband’s 60th - we were a mixed range audience and everyone loved you. I’ve already given your contact details to guests who are thinking of booking you for their event- thanks again Julie
"We just wanted to email you to say how fantastic you were on Saturday! Our guests thought you were outstanding and I have already given out your details twice, I am sure more people are yet to ask.
We were very happy with the performance you gave, and really appreciate the time you clearly spent on the evening playlist, it was perfect.
Thank you again"
Thank you so much. You really were an absolute star - everyone LOVED you! On all levels I think. You really were fantastic and I've heard nothing but praise. I must say well done for not faltering in the slightest with so many people hanging off you while you were trying to perform! Good work!
"Thank you for helping to make Amy and Duncan’s wedding reception on 5th August 2017 at Deans Place, Alfriston, such a memorable occasion. The whole day was a great success and undoubtedly enhanced by you starting the evening entertainment. We don’t think we have ever seen such a spectacular first dance.
We had so many wonderful comments from our guests praising your performance that we felt we had to write and congratulate you on a first rate show. It encouraged everyone to get up and dance. The set you organised with Amy and Duncan was perfect with a great mix of old and new.
We have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone hosting a live event and congratulate you on a polished and professional show.
We wish you well in your career and both ourselves and Bride and Groom could not be happier.
Watch out Michael Buble!"

Usually 2 x 45 minutes live performance with background music or disco music during breaks unless there is another band on. I can normally fit in 35-40 songs in during live performance. But there is also an option do just a 1 hour set if required.
Yes, I have a modern state-of-the-art sound system which can cover an audience of up to 250 people. I also have a smaller system for more intimate bar & restaurant gigs etc. Plus I have LED multi-colour stage lighting. Also if you pick a package with the disco included, then I provide a complete mobile disco setup with sound system, lights and booth.
Yes, I hold certificates for both PLI and PAT testing.
2 x 2 metres for small intimate gigs, or 2 x 4 metres minimum for larger gigs where the bigger sound system is required or the live music and disco package has been chosen.
Yes. Providing it is of the same style and genre and in fitting with my act, I am more than happy to learn and perform it live. Otherwise I can play a pre-recorded version.
I will fit performances in entirely to the client's requirements. Breaks between performances can be anything from 20 minutes between performances to 2 hours. Background music can be played during breaks if required, unless you have chosen the disco add-on, then disco music will be played. For example for a swing tribute and disco package for a wedding I would usually start with background music around 7pm, first dance at 7.45pm followed by first 45 minute live set, then a break with disco music for 30-45 minutes, second 45 minute live set, then disco until finish at Midnight.
Classic Swing hits from legendary artists such as Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Nat King Cole, Bobby Darin, Harry Connick Jr, Tony Bennett, as well as covers from Michael Buble, Robbie Williams, Paul Anka plus many more.
Yes of course. Providing it is of the same style and genre and in fitting with my act, I am more than happy to learn and perform it live. Otherwise I can play a pre-recorded version.
Yes indeed. However you would need to ensure a cover is in place in case the weather turns.
