A fabulous evening and would highly recommend
James and Jamie were amazing at our wedding in June. They gave us a great atmosphere and tailored the evening to the music we love. The initial discussion was super relaxed and allowed us to chat through likes and dislikes, specific genres, must plays, etc. They even edited and personalised our first dance song to be a bit shorter! Having the additional extra of a live singer as well as a DJ was really good and makes them truly unique combo; they work so well together. The end of the evening saw the light up foam sticks which was so much fun and everyone loved. Overall a fabulous evening and would highly recommend.

Brilliant vocals
James was the singer who definitely got the party started at my friends 60th birthday celebrations this weekend. Brilliant vocals & the range of music ensured everyone could take to the dance floor & have a good time. Would definitely recommend for a fab evening of music.

He was brilliant
I booked James for my 60th birthday celebrations and he was brilliant. He sang a wide range of music genres and decades, getting everyone up dancing, even those never before seen on a dance floor! So many of my guests commented on how good he was. James is a lovely guy, easy to chat to both before the event and at my party. Would highly recommend anyone to book James for their celebrations and events.

Cracking voice and vibes
We used James for our wedding. Ideal for our small family setting, but equally he would be just as perfect for a large venue. Solely down to his wide variety of genres he can sing from, cracking voice and vibes. Highly recommended

Wouldn’t recommend anybody else after this
James & Jamie did my wedding as singer/DJ and the compliments I received for them both was amazing. Wouldn’t recommmend anybody else after this. Next time I need an event doing I will be giving them a call again 10/10 would recommend!

James is a true entertainer
Can’t recommend James and Jamie enough. We’d seen James performing at a couple of parties so we were super excited to book him for my husband’s 50th.
James is a true entertainer and knows exactly how to get the party in full swing with Jamie DJing between sets.
They’re really accommodating which is great if you have a play list in mind, but equally can read the room perfectly if you’re just happy to leave them to it.
Professional, great value and a pleasure to deal with. I would book again without hesitation. If you’re looking for entertainment for your do, you can’t go wrong with these guys.
