I booked Vernon to play for my 65th birthday party after reading other reviews about him. I have to say that we were not disappointed, he made the party extra special and all my guests enjoyed his music and said what a really nice guy he is. He even backed me when I did a couple of songs myself.

We absolutely love Vernon! Vernon has played at a few of our functions, including cheese and wine night and steak night and has become a firm favourite amongst our customers. His music was the perfect accompaniment, and I would recommend him to anyone.

We booked Vernon for our wedding on the 24th April 2015 and he really was fantastic, we had pre arranged what music he was going to do off his playlist. We corresponded by email and had no problems with contacting him and he arrived on time for our evening reception, he set up and played straight through until about 10. We found his own music very good especially his song (see that girl) he made the evening fun and got us up dancing, our guests loved him and enjoyed his music, Vernon is a friend...

Vernon was amazing! He has a seductive tone and offered a professional service. He made a huge impact and was approached by many of my guests that are now booking him for their events. I would recommend Vernon without hesitation and promise you he will add value to your event/party. I am beyond satisfied!

We booked Vernon for a family celebration at a cottage in North Yorkshire and he did not disappoint! Vernon caught the mood just right and his guitar playing and vocals are excellent. The whole family really enjoyed his set which helped make the occasion special. Vernon is also a lovely guy and got on with everyone really well. Highly recommended!
