“James was exceptional. We had so many comments on how good he was. I missed my favourite song and he stayed late to perform it for us as we made our entrance at our wedding. He was polite and so talented. My brother even thought a CD was playing before he saw him because he was so good! Absolutely wonderful. Thank you!”

“James played at our wedding on the 27th July 2019. He was fantastic. Our original singer was unwell and unable to perform an James stepped in last minute to help. He was extremely helpful the moment he said yes, offering to learn all the songs that we had selected for walking down the aisle and throughout the ceremony. His performance was exceptional and our guests commented that as soon as he started playing it created a perfect atmosphere. James has a amazing repertoire and we were so pleased with the music he played throughout the day and was even willing to play with a family bagpiper to make a very special moment during the drinks reception. Thank you James for being the best wedding singer we could have asked for.”
