The classical guitar provides a wonderful air of sophistication to any event, and Tomas does not disappoint with his acute precision and mastering of the instrument.
Played with care and attention to detail, Tomas provides alluring and enchanting renditions of popular and classical pieces, perfect for wedding receptions, church ceremonies, corporate events , Valentine’s Day events and many more.
An award winning performer with vast amounts of experience honing his craft at venues across the UK, Tomas's outstanding versatility on his instrument sees him offer a range of diverse genres from across the decades - you'll see beautiful re-imagined versions of songs from artists such as the Beatles, Oasis and Eric Clapton right up to Beyoncé and Adele in addition to big classical guitar numbers, jazz standards and music from Latin america.

I have to say that working with Tomas was an absolute delight from start to finish. He's a lovely guy, very friendly and responsive and an excellent guitarist. He agreed to help me and some friends do a couple of songs to our guests on the night and very kindly came to my house one evening in advance to help rehearse. On the day, he did a great job of playing lovely music that was appropriate for the setting. Would absolutely recommend whole-heartedly.
Tomas' performance was incredible, but what I appreciate most is the involvement he had in making the marriage proposal perfect, looking for the most beautiful spots, I recommend him to everyone!
I cannot recommend Tomas more highly! He is an absolute professional who made contact with me well ahead of the event to collect all the relevant information including event schedule and music preferences, and ensure all arrangements are in place. On the day, Tomas was superb! Not only is he a wonderfully talented musician who was greatly appreciated by guests (indeed, several commented that they want to hire Tomas for events in the future!), but he was reliable, punctual, and was kind enough to even play a bit longer when our DJ ran late (thank you again, the DJ did turn up eventually). Our wedding celebration was greatly enhanced by having Tomas there and I would have no hesitation in recommending him to all my family and friends.
We hosted an outdoor, pre-wedding welcome party at a restaurant in Cambridge, England. We met Tomas Ferreira via Pop-Top as we live in Denver, Colorado. We found Tomas very easy to work with and extremely professional. He communicated with the restaurant to firm up logistics and arrived promptly with all the necessary gear. He reached out to us well in advance of our function to work with us on song selection and even enquired about how he should dress. His playing was a wonderful addition to our event. We would highly recommend his services to anyone.
We did struggle a bit with the poptop website, I believe, in part because we are in the states, but Tomas helped us through those challenges along with their support team.

Thank you Tomas for putting on a wonderful performance for our guests! Your music was the perfect backdrop for our reception. Hope we meet again! Hannah and Jan
Tomas contacted me very promptly and introduced himself. Closer to the day, Tomas sent me his playlist but kindly played 2 songs that weren’t on there. One he knew and one he kindly learnt for us.
On the day, Tomas played beautifully for both the ceremony and drinks reception.
Tomas kept me well informed leading up to the day so that we were both clear about what should happen.
I would gladly recommend anyone who would like and enjoys guitar music at its best!
Thank you!
Sarah & Lee
Thomas could not be faulted. His musical abilities were superb and all my guests commented on his performance and choice of music. He is also a charming character and I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone who wants a very professional artist for a special occasion.
On a sunny day in July my daughter and her partner had the wedding of their dreams in the garden of our family home. The day was made even more magical by the sublime music, played with unobtrusive charm by Tomas. His guitar playing was wonderful. As one guest said, “I didn’t even get to the entry of the bride, I started crying for the beauty of the music!” We will always be grateful that he was a part of our day and he will probably never know what an important part he played.
Tomas was professional and thorough throughout. Communication was faultless, he was well dressed and punctual, very accommodating to my requests and of course a supremely talented guitarist. He played an hour continuously in a noisy outdoor setting for a small audience without any issues. If you're in doubt, book this man for your event!"
Tomas was absolutely wonderful and we’re so glad he could play for us. He plays beautifully and flawlessly and really transforms the ambience in the room. He’s such a friendly, kind person and is super organised, taking care of everything for you. We cannot recommend him highly enough and will definitely be booking him in again in the future. Thanks again Tomas!
Tomas was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish, an absolute gentleman. His skilled performance added an air of effortless class to our wedding day which was appreciated by and commented on by all in attendance.
My partner and I booked Tomas to play at our wedding in September 2018 and we couldn't recommend him more highly! The booking process was quick and simple and the price was fantastic for the service we received. In the months leading up to the wedding, we liaised with Tomas over the set list and particular song requests. Tomas was attentive and professional throughout this process and even agreed to learn some new material for our big day! On the day itself, Tomas arrived punctually - even before the groom! - and began playing well before our first guests began to arrive. Tomas played beautifully and a number of our guests commented on his rich, atmospheric tones. Both my partner and I were absolutely thrilled with the performance on the day and would highly recommend booking Tomas for any special event
"I thought you were brilliant - thank you so much for being part of our day. I was a bit overwhelmed in the ceremony, but I did make a point of listening to the music and it sounded lovely. I also asked many of the guests and they thought your playing was beautiful.
Not only was your music lovely, but you were really pleasant to work with, and really worked to customize our set list."
"Thank you so much for yesterday. You really made such an impact and the comments from all the guests about your music were lovely.
Thanks again."
We would like to express our wholehearted thanks to you for providing the perfect musical backdrop to our wedding reception. Many of the guests commented on how much they enjoyed your performance. We were impressed with your professionalism and flexibility in helping us to choose the repertoire. We hope you enjoyed the day as much as we did.
We had Tomas play at our wedding in April 2017. He was very helpful in suggesting songs, as well as being willing to learn specific pieces which we had requested. We and our guests really enjoyed the performance, which was of a very high standard. We were also grateful for his flexibility when the timings of the performance were different from expected. We would highly recommend Tomas to anyone looking for a musical performance at their event
A typical performance is two forty-five minute set lists. The longest I will play for on a gig is three forty-five minute sets. The shortest is one forty-five minute or just a wedding ceremony by itself.
I have my own PA but not lighting.
Yes and yes.
I require a space of a minimum two by two meters in size. I also need to be within ten meters of a plug socket or else you will need to provide some extra extension leads.
Provided it can be suitably arranged for solo guitar, then yes! If you give me more than a month's notice, there is an additional fee of £15 per tune for me to learn it, and with less than a month, it's £30. Please note that it's very unlikely I will do requests on the day if they haven't been agreed upon beforehand.
I take a break after every forty-five minute set. A break will not last longer than fifteen minutes.
