Martin played for our wedding. All day, piano, guitar and DJ. Absolutely fantastic. Couldn’t recommend him more highly. All of our guests commented how good he was. A true musician. Des C, October 2023

What can I say, Martin was amazing from start to finish for my 40th. The communication on the lead up was brilliant and on the night – he absolutely smashed it. His live singing was amazing and the DJ set was on point. Thank you so much for an amazing night you made it fabulous!!!! See you at the next party Erica W, September 2023

Thank you very much for playing at my son’s wedding. your musical range and talent is amazing . i would highly recommend martin. Marilyn R, September 2023

We booked Martin for our wedding and what can I say, he did not disappoint. From the start to finish the whole process was so smooth amid the constant changes. Everything we asked for was catered for, and not only that it was done with passion and joy, which made our day and evening even more enjoyable. The bridal entance song was performed acoustically, beautiful, and the music matched the theme and setting. All the MCing for the day which again was done so well, kept the guests entertained and laughing. As a special surprise, I asked Martin to help me sing a song to my new wife and he not only helped but also motivated me to do and it was really good, everyone enjoyed it and sang along. Finally, the music for the reception. All the set up was also completed smoothly, we do not know when but it was set up ready to go, coordination with the photographer to ensure it went smoothly. Thank you so much, definitely recommend and will most certainly be back for more. Jay K, August 2023

Martin has animated our wedding day with his singing accompanied of his guitar as well as Dj’ing during the night. It was just magical! He created a fantastic atmosphere throughout the day which everyone enjoyed including ourselves. He managed to accomodate our european music requests by including them in a more english speaking playlist which was amazing. His performance, energy and kindness just made our wedding magical to us. I highly recommend Martin for any special event. Agathe B, August 2023

He was very friendly and his music varied as well as me giving some music for inspiration and gave us an amazing night as DJ. Elvina L, August 2023

Martin provided he services for my wedding this week and he was absolutely amazing.
He had brilliant communication leading up to our event to get a feel of the music and style we wanted.
His live sets were brilliant. It was an amazing atmosphere with him singing and playing the guitar then later on, the keyboard. It was just so perfect and made the day feel magical with live singing and music.
All of my guests commented at how lovely it was and what a lovely touch having live music was.
Martins timings were perfect and everything on the day just flowed so well.
Thank you again for helping our day feel so special. I would definitely recommend Martin for any special occasion.
Victoria D, August 2023

Martin was the DJ at our Wedding. He was brilliant from the moment we first made contact. We loved the music and so did our guests! We would thoroughly recommend Martin as a wedding DJ 🙂 Lisa G, August 2023

I just wanted to say the disco that Martin John provided for my birthday party was fabulous and just what I wanted. He played just the right type of music which made everyone want to dance and it was a great atmosphere. Would highly recommend. Amanda P, August 2023

Very professional from start to finish, no issues at all with fantastic live sets and DJ music. Everyone loved the singing and music dancing and singing along with Martin. Angela M, July 2023

We had Martin, provide live music and disco for our wedding and my god he was brilliant!! He had everyone on the dance floor as soon as we got in the venue till the end. The positive feedback still keeps coming from family and friends! We will be using Martin again for any upcoming occasions. Thank you Martin. Joanna B, June 2023

Martin is a lovely guy and was fantastic at both the acoustic and disco at our 25th wedding anniversary party at our home. We have had so many compliments, still coming in 3 days later. Highly recommended! Estelle D, May 2023

Martin was better than amazing. Pre wedding he was informative and artistic in approach. He was also very kind when my husband became very poorly just before the wedding. That aside! This guy so something else. Our guests loves that he was singing with guitar outside in the courtyard as guests arrived! He transitioned seamlessly between disco and live music, it was genius! How interactive moments saw my brother running around with bingo drums and mirackahs (sp). We just absolutely love him! He made a fantastic day brilliant xxx. Lizzie M, May 2023

We had Martin for our Wedding, he sang during our reception drinks and played a live set later on in the evening as well as doing our disco. He was amazing! He has a great voice, sings a wide range of songs and knows how to get everyone up dancing. He made our wedding perfect! We would highly recommend Martin for any occasion. Tammy B, April 2023

We hired Martin with really short notice and he was brilliant. He was able to source the music that we wanted, and was highly adaptable on the fly, but alway make sure we were happy with any changes first. It was so perfect. Martin also did the Anniversary Dance Game, which he didn’t know before but learnt and which went smoothly. For that Game I had also requested a song which wasn’t going to long enough and he was able to source another which went with the first choice to enable songs to be played for the whole game. 10/10 would highly recomend Martin. Becky S, March 2023

Was very happy with Martin John music for my party. He always responded if I had any questions and had a clear plan for when he would arrive and set up. He was on time very friendly and professional. The music and lights were perfect, he listened and played all my requests.
Would highly recommend 🙂
Lavina P, February 2023

Martin was the most accommodating, polite and professional musician and DJ we have ever met. We are so grateful for everything he did on our wedding day making it so special. From the moment we made our initial enquiry to the final hours prior to our big day, his communication was incredible. His
repertoire of live music is extensive and beautifully performed. Martin went out of his way to best suit our day. He read the room very well when DJing in the evening and guests dancing right till the end knowing when to play the right song and taking requests. Our guests were very complementary of his performances and music. We cannot thank you enough Martin for making this aspect of our day so memorable and easy. We cannot recommend him enough for your upcoming events!!
Leigha CM, January 2023

Martin was completely profesional, organising himself and his band extremely well, he is friendly and approachable and kept me inform at each stage of the booking on the evening he arrived on time and they conducted themselves very well making the evening a pleasurable one for all, feedback from guests was all positive and everyone had a great time would definitely recommend and use them again. Terri B, December 2022

Martin is Brilliant entertainer! We hired him for my mother’s birthday celebrations in November and from the start he was friendly and professional, asked what kind of genres of music we liked, kept in tough re times and requirements. On the night of the party Martin turned up early, set up a brilliant set with lights and speakers. Martins live music is wonderful, he has an amazing voice and the set was something for everyone, young and old! In between live music sets Martin played all the music we has suggested. During the second live music set Martin involved the crowd, with instruments and laughs it got everyone involved, the children particularly enjoyed this. By the end of the evening the dance floor was full, everyone commented on how good he was and it made a special night even better. We will definitely look to hire Martin for other events, brilliant 🤩 Tom C, November 2022

Martin was absolutely brilliant! He was extremely accommodating and friendly and a joy to work with! Nothing was too much trouble and communication excellent from start to finish.
Martin did a mix of live music (very talented musician) and also dj’ing.
Everyone was commenting on how great Martin was.
I would highly recommend!
Thanks again Martin 🙂
Jane H, November 2022

Martin made our wedding.
Every single one of our guests commented on how amazing he was. We had Martin all day, he sang and played guitar during our drinks reception, played piano during our wedding breakfast, DJ’d in the evening and played live sets to get our guests on the dance floor. That is exactly what it did, the dance floor was full, everyone had an amazing time and everyone commented on how incredible he was. We asked Martin to sing an acoustic version of our first dance, which our wedding video will be set to and he did such an amazing job of it. There is no doubt that he was a huge part in making the whole day a huge success. We cannot thank him enough for the atmosphere he created throughout the day. Do not hesitate in booking Martin for your event, you will not regret it.
Georgia W, October 2022

Martin was the DJ at my mum’s 60th birthday party last Sunday. He definitely exceed my expectations. He delivered exceptionally well. Our guests enjoyed the whole event especially the disco! Music and lighting were coordinated, definitely were put together nicely by a professional! Thanks again Martin. Will definitely refer you to friends. Rinalyn P, October 2022

We booked Martin for our Staff Autumn Ball and he was amazing. The Dance floor was full and buzzing and he interacted with the people we support brilliantly, there were even some duets and a full band formed on the night! I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Martin again. Claire B, October 2022

We had Martin do our wedding disco in September and he was fantastic throughout the whole process! From first booking in with him to the day he was friendly and very professional, would highly recommend him to anyone! Spent the whole night dancing away. Georgia M, September 2022

Martin was superb for our wedding evening, he was punctual, professional, has a cracking singing voice, gauged his audience and played songs accordingly, just wish he had been with us all day! He was brilliant and all the guests loved him, will definitely get some bookings from this gig in future, everyone still talking about how fabulous he was, very engaging with the children too to make them feel part of the evening. Lovely guy! Highly recommend. Debbie R, September 2022

We hired Martin to DJ at our wedding in August 2022 and he was excellent. The dancefloor was buzzing all night and he did such a great job catering for all the music tastes and age ranges. He was really friendly with everyone and would highly recommend. Luke S, August 2022

Martin was helpful and flexible when covid disrupted our plans. He was efficient and communicative at all times and, on the day, arrived on time. During the event he judged the level of music needed, and the style of music, to suit the people dancing. It was ages 4 months to 88 years and they all loved the disco! Highly recommended and would book again. Thanks! Lesley W, August 2022

I had my wedding on the 14th of July, what can I say Martin was amazing, I really recommend. Me and my wife we had a wonderful time. Orazio P, July 2022

Very nice and professional! He made my wedding day very special! Thankyou!! Jeannie A, July 2022

We hired Martin for our wedding in June 2022 and can’t recommend him highly enough. We had him there all day and really worked him hard, playing classical music on the grand piano prior to the ceremony and pop songs afterwards, then more pop songs on the guitar all afternoon and finally DJing in the evening until the end of the night. Of all the people we dealt with in arranging our wedding, Martin was by far the friendliest and best at communication, discussing what we wanted and what he thought would work better from his experience. On the day he was adaptable, switching to playing the guitar outside as it was a beautiful day, rather than indoors as we originally planned and even after playing for 2 hours in the blazing sun, he offered to play even longer as it was still such a lovely evening (an offer we gratefully accepted). Many of our guests commented on how good Martin was and how much they were enjoying his playing. He really helped to make our day even more special than it already was, so I’d like to say a huge thank you to Martin. Mark O, June 2022

Martin was a fantastic DJ (and MC!) at our recent wedding. He happily met us on Zoom to discuss options and totally ‘got’ our music choices. On the wedding day itself, he was prompt, organised and super professional. But also fun! Guests old and young hit the dance floor, including my 83 year old mum, who threw away her walking stick!! Thanks Martin! Alison C, June 2022

We booked Martin for our wedding. We used all of his services piano and DJ. He was absolutely amazing! His piano playing in the church set the right mode. During our wedding breakfast his piano playing was really nice to hear. Even in a sort notice he prepared a play list for our drinks reception. He is a fantastic DJ. Our wedding was Greek English he combined the Greek songs that we want with the English music amazing with a really good flow. We definitely recommend him for your special day!!!
Thanks Martin that you made our special day special!!
Eleni B, June 2022

We were so impressed by Martin who was the DJ at our special Safari themed birthday party at the Wisteria Hotel in Oakham. He provided a mixture of great disco music with live singing and guitar playing which helped to make the party a magical event to remember. He had everyone joining in and up on the dance floor…and outside for the Conga! Martin has the skills to read the audience and adapt his repertoire accordingly; he had us line-dancing, being part of the orchestra with percussion instruments and enjoying every minute of the music. He is a talented professional. Thank you Martin. Paul W, June 2022

What can we say apart from how amazing Martin was on our wedding from the minute he turned up to the very end! Nothing was too much trouble and all of the guests commented on how brilliant he was!
Thank you so much for being part of our special day at minstrel court!
Rebecca P, June 2022

We booked Martin for our wedding music throughout our special day and I cannot recommend him highly enough.
Everybody commented on how his live music made the day even more special. He is so good at what he does.
The live music and dj set at night time was equally as good and everyone got up to have a dance. He played the music I had sent across to him aa well as the genre we preferred. And of course some classic dancing music.
I booked Martin for my wedding over 2 yrs ago and he has kept in contact with me throughout that time. He is such a lovely man. So professional and approachable.
I would book him again for another function in a heartbeat.
So not look anywhere else for your wedding music. Martin is your guy!
Thanks again for making our day such an amazing one and one we will cherish for ever.
Keely R, June 2022

Absolutely fantastic had all of my guest up dancing from the moment the music started to the moment it ended truly incredible and I would highly recommend simply FANTASTIC !!!!! Ryan G, May 2022

We booked Martin for our one-year-anniversary to invite all the people we actually wanted at our wedding, but covid restrictions prevented this in 2021, as I had seen him at a previous event and thought he was great. I got regular emails beforehand, he was there two hours before the show started, and was all set up when people trickled in. ( at one point I did fear it was going to be the two of us and him). Martin was fantastic, judged the audience brillliantly as we had 2 year olds up to 82 years young. the range and selection of the tunes was just right, despite my sister saying he’s just playing your favourites from your phone isnt he? – (Spoiler alert he wasnt). The venue really, and I mean REALLY , liked him and want to use him again, which as they must get hundreds of DJs plying their trade is a tick in the right box. it was a wonderful evening and Martin was a prime reason. I can’t give him any more than 5 stars though would really love to be able to turn it up to 11. John T, May 2022

Martin was the DJ at our wedding and was amazing. We booked Martin fairly last minute but despite this he immediately put us at ease with his communication and organisation. He understood and catered for our music requirements and the set he played on the night was perfect. I would not hesitate to recommend Martin and he really did make our wedding extra special. Alex M, March 2022 (disco)

Martin was extremely professional and well organised, he met our needs perfectly, providing background music over dinner, then the disco after. Would highly recommend him for any event. Graham T, March 2022 (disco)

I booked Martin last summer for my Birthday party on 19th March this year, (2022) I was very impressed, he kept me updated all the way through the process, was great on the night! he did a couple of sets playing the guitar and sang, which was really good, very happy, the venue asked for his details & also a friend who is getting married next year, I would highly recommend Martin as he is also a very likeable & friendly person, thank you again Martin. Julie M, March 2022 (live music & disco)

Martin was the musician for our wedding on Friday. We used all 3 of his services; guitar, piano and DJ. He was so fantastic both in the run up and on the day. Very organised and reliable. The guitar and singing during our drinks reception received loads of positive feedback, when I walked in he was so good I honestly didn’t even realise he was there to begin, he perfectly judged the room to ensure a seamless background effect as that was what we wanted. The piano during the meal provided a lovely ambience and the DJ and disco in the evening was a hoot. 5/5, if I could give 10 I would! Erin C, February 2022 (live music & disco)

Martin was absolutely fantastic at our wedding. We were a very short notice booking and nothing was a problem for him.
We asked him to sing as my beautiful bride walked down the aisle and he was fantastic. His voice perfectly fir the choice of songs we had for our first dance and for when Sophie walked down the aisle.
From the choice of music at the disco to the music in the background during the signing of the register he was fantastic, so much so, some family members asked for his business.
Your music will always bring us a fantastic reminder of a beautiful and unforgettable day.
We cannot recommend you enough.
Thanks you so so much.
Chris and Sophie H, Feb 2022 (live music and disco)

We had the dj/disco for our wedding reception recently and he was brilliant, very friendly and extremely talented guy, definitely recommend to everyone and we will surely book again in the future. Amanda C, January 2022 (disco)

We are a Churchill retirement apartment in Suffolk. Martin came to entertain us recently, we all had a very good time and sang along with him. His choice of songs was just right. Certainly will be inviting him back to sing for us again, his guitar playing was a joy to listen to. Helen W, December 2021 (live music)

My partner and I held a joint 70th. birthday party for our friends and families at the Wellingborough Museum function room on Saturday 20/11/21. ( a very wide age range attending) We hired Martin as DJ for the event, which took place between 2 pm and 7 pm. What a great decision that was ! Martin discussed our requirements with us in terms of music choice and volume, and general programme in some detail beforehand, and on the afternoon he got it absolutely spot on ! keeping the volume at just the right level during the meeting, greeting and chatting phase, then ramping it up perfectly for the dancing in the last couple of hours, building to applause and encores at the finish. What an absolute professional ! So many of our guests remarked on “how good the DJ had been” afterwards. Look no further for the DJ for your event ! Keith T, November 2021 (disco)

Very professional carried out all of our requests, kept in contact prior to event allowing us to decide how we wanted the evening to progress, highly recommend Martin. David C, October 2021 (disco)

Martin was a excellent addition to the wedding his live music set was fantastic really got the guest up and dancing and the disco was equally as great as guest were able to pick songs as well as Martin putting on the right song at the right time. Alan & Faye, October 2021 (live music and disco)

Martin was excellent! A thoroughly nice guy – we’ve had so many guests tell us what a great DJ he was! He seemed to have any song that was requested and his own choice was spot on. I would not hesitate to recommend. Yve G, Sept 2021 (disco)

Martin did an amazing job providing entertainment for our wedding day. He was so kind and was everything we could have asked in a DJ. The live piano music and guitar with singing was the highlight of my day, with all guests commenting what a talented individual we chose to play at our wedding. 10/10 entertainment. Becky W, Sept 2021 (live music & disco)

Martin was absolutely great. He played constant music that was so easy to dance too and I don’t think there was a moment where no-one was up and dancing. His communication before the event was also great. All of our guests have commented how great he was and we wouldn’t hesitate to hire him again. Thank you! Tina H, July 2021 (disco)

Martin took care of all the music at our wedding and he was absolutely fantastic. Great singing and guitar playing during the drinks reception, a lovely playlist for the wedding breakfast, and DJing for the evening disco that had everyone up and dancing all night! Would highly recommend Martin’s services, amazing value for money! Joe S, July 2021 (live music & disco)

What can I say. Martin is a star, the set list was extensive and his voice and guitar skills made our day very special. We will definitely book again when the occasion arises Lynn L, July 2021 (live music)

Martin has recently done a live set and DJ set for our wedding. He also provided music for the ceremony and background music for the wedding breakfast. From the moment we got in touch with him to book he treated us with the upmost professionalism. He was great at asking what we wanted and catered to all of our requests (and we gave him a very long list of requests!!). Martin took the time to learn our first dance song and absolutely nailed it with a truly unique rendition. When it came to the evening reception he was great at reading the crowd and working out what sort of songs to play and when to switch between live and DJ sets. Despite some covid ‘restrictions’ in place for our wedding day, we managed to have a perfect day and it just wouldn’t have been the same without Martin’s relaxed attitude and high quality service. If he’ll work with us again (we had quite a rowdy group of friends!), we’ll definitely be booking him again for an anniversary party in a year or 2. Thank you so much Martin, from Matt, Emily and inflatable jesus 🤣🤣🤣 Matt & Emily, July 2021 (live music & disco)

Martin was excellent from start to finish! His communication and support before the event was outstanding. On the day he was so well prepared and we had so many comments about how talented he was. His voice is amazing, and a brilliant guitar player. We had a brilliant day and Martin was a big part of that! Emma S, July 2021 (live music & disco)

Martin was amazing from day one of us picking him as our singer and DJ! We’ve had to move our wedding 5 times due to Covid and Martin was amazing throughout it all! He was so helpful accommodating and all out fantastic getting everyone up and dancing. I cannot recommend him enough! Thank you for making our day so special! Tilly C, June 2021 (live music & disco)

Martin was brilliant. He was engaging and friendly on the day as well as a talented musician. We had a session in advance to discuss the event and play list. He was super flexible and even learnt some new song for us. Thank you Martin! Richard B, August 2020 (live music)

I hired Martin for my husband 50th birthday party. From beginning Martin made a great impact. He sang some beautiful songs at the reception and helped us decide what and when to play. Gave us some great tips and at the disco he played wide range of music like pop, raggaeton, 80s etc. Everyone loved the music and the disco lights. We would hire Martin again . Thank you. Eve and Raf, January 2020 (live music & disco)

Amazing performer, last minute booking and as he was available he made it happen. 5 stars all round!!!!! Martina, November 2019 (live music)

We booked Martin for our wedding. It was important to us that we play a little something for everybody. After a phone consultation he made us feel very at ease and he made us even more excited for the day. He even learnt some songs to sing for us one he sang for our first dance which was a really lovely touch. Martin was very professional he turned up early and nobody even noticed him setting up. He was a true entertainer, everybody was commenting on how fab his singing was and because he does a mixture of singing and dj’ing it was a good balance. The only down fall was it felt like it went too quickly. Thanks for every thing Martin. Ged B, September 2019 (live music & disco)

Thank you for your performance and Disco on Saturday. The wedding ceremony performance was amazing as was the evening. We had many people complimenting on what a great job you did all day. Everyone loved it including us. Thanks for helping make our day so special. John & Cassie, September 2019 (live music & disco)

We were delighted with Martin who was very friendly and professional, and understanding of our terrible acoustic and lack of nearby parking. He got people dancing, which is what we wanted. Maggio C, August 2019 (live music)

Martin, performaned and DJ at my wedding celebration party. He was excellent and would happily book him again. He kept in contact by email and was accomodating to changes in my requirement. On the night many guests commented on his talent. He was excellent and really set the tone of the evening perfectly through the music. Laura D, July 2019 (live music & diso)

Well, what can I say! Everyone commented on how good you were and how on the money you were with the song choices. Unlike some DJ’s who spin and good track and then lose momentum, you possess the skills to keep people going all night. You are a very talented man and it absolutely made the party a smash. Darren G, July 2019 (live music & disco)

Martin is an excellent musician. He performed for my wedding and did a totally outstanding job. He is very creative and proficient at playing piano and singing. He has got a professional and friendly mannerism and was happy to comply with my requests. He was always on time and extremely courteous which made a huge difference to my wedding. Overall we rate him 5 stars! Anneka and Andy L, June 2019 (live music)

We cannot thank you enough for the amazing job you did yesterday. Everybody was singing along with you during the day and dancing in the evening and the piano playing during the ceremony was incredible. Daniel T, May 2019 (live music & disco)

Thanks so much for last night – you were absolutely brilliant and helped to get everyone in party mode. We’ve had so much positive feedback from everyone. Kit P, May 2019 (live music & disco)

Martin was a late addition to our wedding but he filled us with confidence from the moment he confirmed our booking. Martin was very proactive with his preparation for our big day, he even learned three versions of a song for our first dance, testing them all in public and sending us the videos so we got exactly what we wanted. On the day itself Martin was excellent from start to finish, he read the room well and played nice background music early on, before being the soul of the party after our first dance. Guests were commenting all night how good he was and even months later people reminisce at how he made the evening even more special. He will be my first choice for any live music I need in the future and I will recommend him to everyone. Martin was excellent. Marc E, December 2018 (live music & disco)

Martin was amazing! He made our day so special, the music he played was just beautiful. Martin was so kind and helpful and I would definitely recommend him and use him in the future! 😊 Krena C, July 2018 (live music)
