Testimonials

Jimmy was a huge success, he went down a storm and he was so lovely. Had a quick couple of photos with him before he had to rush off back to London but he was really nice. He asked us to thank the AV guys for the sound system and support provided for his performance and he even told me it was a great set and event we had organised! Very nice to hear especially from a professional such as Jimmy who’s been in the business for many years and must have done hundreds of corporate events. Many thanks for all your help in booking Jimmy – as I said, he was absolutely fantastic and helped our event be the biggest and best to date. Stonegate Pubs
