Reviews

Jay was absolutely brilliant, we were thrilled that he was free to play at our wedding. Throughout the planning process he was great and really flexible to what we needed. He learnt the most beautiful song for us and brought such a lovely atmosphere to our day. We would 100% recommend you to book Jay for your special day.

We spotted Jay at a beer festival and knew instantly he would go down a storm in our little pub! Fast forward to Sunday 16th September, Jay performed for us all and blew everyone away! I looked around to see people capturing the moment on their phones, others rubbing goosebumps on their arms. He sings from the soul, seemingly effortlessly, 'it' oozes from him. He has the most beautiful voice!!
In terms of dealing with him, he's a joy. Responsive, humble, gentle & friendly, organised, his time keeping is brilliant - he's serious about his music and reputation. I'm just about to rebook him!!

We recently had Jay perform at our wedding and he was just incredible. All of our guests loved him, his voice is just amazing and he was a highlight of the day. All through the run up to the day he was helpful and accommodating even when timings needed to change etc. Would 100% recommend him to anyone, we’re already thinking up more events to host just to give us an excuse to book him!

Incredibly soulful.
