Anthony Shaw, Birthday Party Event, Shropshire
Just like to say Huw and band were really great and I will be booking HUW again soon, please send him my regards.

Louise Wallace, Private Party Event, Buckinghamshire
Hi Tracey, we have filled in the online feedback form, but felt we should say a special thank you for arranging the booking for Huw to play at our party. He is SUCH a lovely guy! He really made our celebration complete, the guests thoroughly enjoyed his performance and we really appreciated him being here.

Louise Wallace, Private Party Event, Buckinghamshire
Reliable, professional and a joy to listen to. We can't thank Huw enough for his wonderful contribution to our special day. He worked incredibly hard, way beyond the call of duty, and even found time for some of our guests who were keen to chat to him after his performance. We recommend Huw without hesitation, and would absolutely invite him back if we can find an excuse for another party. Thank you very much Huw.

Mr.Raymond Ingman, Birthday Party Event, Essex
Huw was both an excellent act and a friendly, helpful person - he did not let the inclement weather stand in his way - quickly adapting to move indoors!! We would not hesitate to use Huw again when the opportunity presents itself - similarly we have used Warble before (Magical Hystory Tour) and have nothing but praise for the ease of booking and excellent communication.

Terry Jeffreys, Wedding, London
Genius at work! Thank you for an excellent performance at my sisters wedding. I have to say, myself and the guests were in awe and thoroughly enjoyed the music and your unique voice melted a lot of hearts!!! I lost count the amount of times I had people asking me where I found you and generally complementing a superbly accomplished performance. I know within 48 hours I had received 2 requests from guests asking how to book your services. Many Thanks!

Simon & Craig, Booking Agency, London
We have worked with Huw for over a year. He has performed many times for us and has always received positive feedback. He has always left a lasting impression on guests at the venues he has played prompting clients to enquire about him directly a number of times. Huw is always on time, smart and has a brilliant attitude. We would highly recommend him to any client. If you need to ask any more questions please feel free to call or e-mail any time.

Karen Stevens, Wedding, Nottingham
We just want to say a huge thank you for playing at our wedding. You were fantastic and we are both very pleased to have discovered you and your talent. Several of our guests have commented on your music too and said how much they enjoyed it. Thanks also for learning our first dance, loved the way you sang it! Next time we are in London we will be in touch and hopefully come and hear you again.

Jackie Barry, Corporate gig, London
Had a brilliant time last night - you played some awesome tunes and people commented on what a talented trio you all are. Your music is really uplifting. It was excellent and thank you so much - I hope you enjoyed playing as much as we enjoyed hearing you. I would thoroughly recommend you.

Sandy Jarrett, Private Party, Essex
Just wanted to drop you a note to say thank you so much for playing at the party on Saturday. Everybody enjoyed your music so much - we have had some really lovely feedback. We will definitely be recommending you. Thanks again!

Oz Bayldon, Public Gig, London
Huw was a resident musician at our Battersea Park gigs where he played 3 hour sets to thousands of people. His repertoire is wide-ranging and I would gladly recommend him to anyone. If you would like to discuss this further please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Angela Toft, Wedding, Sussex
You played at our wedding on the 6th August and I just wanted to thank you again as you were wonderful!!! Huw, you were the perfect sound track to a great day.

Chris Tennant, Wedding, Bucks
Huw played at our wedding and he was great. He has a wide repertoire of songs, including jazz, soul and Latin music, both ballads and more uptempo numbers. He was highly professional and there was fantastic feedback from the guests. He is also very easy to deal with, which made our wedding preparations that bit easier. We'd definitely book Huw again!

Terry Penn, Booking Agency, Hamps
We are delighted at the response we have received since adding Huw to our database and website. Huw is a popular choice, we often receive enquiries regarding his availability, unfortunately due to demand Huw is not always available. Huw is a personal favourite of mine and have no hesitation in recommending him to any of my clients.

Matt Dixon, Wedding, Cambs
The music was excellent, and really made the occasion - it contributed amazingly to the ambience of the dinner. From discussing our requirements, through to setting up and the performance itself, he and his band displayed a very high level of professionalism and I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again or recommend him to others.

How long do you play for?
As a solo act I can play one long set of up to three hours in length. Perfect for wedding receptions and chilled private parties. As a duo / trio / quartet I can play 3 x 45 minutes. I can provide background music between sets if required.

Can you provide a PA?
Yes, I bring a small PA with me at all times. A larger PA and lights are available on request. The music will be loud enough!

Do you have any requirements?
Access to a power supply and lots of black coffee please.

Do you know any Kasabian / Kings of Leon / Arctic Monkeys / Katy Perry / Take That?
My repertoire is based in the classic jazz songbook, the cream of Motown songs and the finest Brazilian bossas and sambas. I do play some pop songs that people will recognise, often in jazzed-up versions, but I am not your man if you are looking for a nineties / noughties singalong.

As a solo act Huw can play one long set of up to three hours in length.
