George provided fantastic ambience for our exclusive hospitality guests at Land & Sky Farm during their evening dining.

We booked George for our wedding in June 2023 and he was absolutely incredible. Both his singing and piano playing were exceptional, and we received so many comments from guests about how good he was. He played during our ceremony, drinks reception and wedding breakfast. We gave quite a vague brief on general themes, but he read the room perfectly and played just the right songs at the right time. We requested a song for my wife to walk down the aisle to, which he learnt quickly and played beautifully. He arrived well ahead of time and was set up ahead of schedule, and brought request slips for guests to request songs. He is a very friendly guy and extremely easy to work with. Communication ahead of the day was quick and easy. Overall extremely happy with the decision to book George, and he will be first on our list for any events in the future. Highly recommended. Thank you, George!

We booked george for our wedding and he was amazing. More than we have the words to describe. George is professional efficient and is great at communicating. He went above and beyond for us on our special day. He was a pleasure to work with and a highlight for us and our guests. After the day people are still telling us how amazing he was. If you want a player who sounds amazing and will make your event he is you guy. Thank you again for being part of our day

George is the most fabulous musician you could ever book for your wedding. We booked George to play our abroad wedding and he was a joy to work with from start to finish. He’s was very flexible with set suggestions and then we had the fun of our guests making requests on the night and him being able to play almost anything off the cuff. It’s genius. He played our ceremony and put on the most spectacular after dinner show that nearly 6 months later everyone is still talking about! We had seen him play before but on the day we were truly blown away by his kindness, enthusiasm and talent. It’s a testament to his skill that several of our friends have since booked him to play other events. 10/10!

Our village hall committee booked George for our pop-up pub having seen him play at a private party. We wanted something special that would appeal to all ages and George went beyond our expectations. From ‘a bat out of hell’ to songs from Les Mis, he played a huge range of songs and went down a storm! Incredibly talented, professional and a thoroughly nice chap; we will definitely be booking you again George. Thank you for a truly great night.
