"Event 14th July 2018.

Paolo Coruzzi played at our annual street party and clearly he is an excellent musician. He read the crowd and played appropriate music for the mood which went from mellow to upbeat. He was very polite, professional and personable and I would definitely book him again. Thanks Paolo.

Dear Paolo, Thank you so much for your performance at our event. You are a wonderful musician and everyone loved what you did, especially when you sang your own songs. You are very accomplished not only on the guitar but in judging and pleasing the audience. I am very happy to recommend you, you entertained babies and small children and our 91 year old grandpa and all of us in between. Thank you and best wishes Wendy

Solo Singer and Guitarist

Hi there, thanks for your request. I would love to come and play for your event and I am currently available on your specified date. I play a vast array of well known songs both classic and modern. I’ve played in many venues all over Europe and UK for more than twenty years and so I am sure I can create for the best atmosphere and keep you all entertained! My performance includes songs performed in acoustic and instrumental music. The style of my repertoire can vary depending on the type of event: pop, blues, country, chill-out, jazz, oldies. If there are any songs in particular you'd like me to play please ask and I'm sure I can accommodate a few requests. I can play 2 x 50 minute sets starting at a time of your choice with a 20 minute break ending 2 hours later. I have my own PAT Tested PA System that sets up with minimal fuss, I'd just need approx. a 2m x 2m space with a plug socket nearby, small table and chair. See you soon! Paolo Coruzzi
