REVIEWS & RECOMMENDATIONS

"We were delighted after having seen and greatly enjoyed Mark's performance in York that we booked him to play for my Lodge's Ladies Weekend in Cambridge. He did not disappoint and provided superb entertainment, which set our weekend off to a splendid start. I would happily recommend him to anyone who wanted their event to go with a swing."

" Wow wow wow!!!!!  Saw the poster in the hotel at the York Marriott saying there was a live act on the night we were there, and wow were you live, the music was fantastic, no request was refused and you sang with such passion that I have never seen!!! You were truly wonderful and we would base our next night away to be where you are!!!"

 "I have heard Mark playing/singing many a time and the word "fantastic" is not credit enough to him, as he has such a talent with a magical voice. I recently got married and wanted Mark so much to play/sing at my ceremony. Therefore, I contacted Mark with the date, but unfortunately for me he was unavailable. I then came up with an idea; I asked Mark if he would be willing to record the songs I wanted for my ceremony. Not only did Mark record and learn all the songs for me, but he went that extra mile because after the recording and asked if he was able to edit and change some of the music. Nothing was too much trouble as he wanted it so right for my day. Therefore, even though I was unable to have Mark playing in person, he recorded and sang me the songs I wanted, and he was there at my wedding.  How special and unique is that? To be able to say to everyone that the music at your wedding has been personally recorded for your day and then to have such a fantastic keep sake CD of your wedding music. Thank you, are only two small words, but they come from my heart as Mark made it a perfect day for me. In case Mark may not be able to make the date you request, hopefully this may give some of you out there an idea. Special thanks to Mark and his wonderful talent."

"Having only decided to hire daytime entertainment at the last minute, I couldn't have imagined the day without Mark. He stole the show at our wedding with his distinctive voice and infectious personality. His rendition of the Beatles' classic 'Hey Jude' had our guests eating out of the palm of his hand and will be one of the lasting memories of our wedding day. We enjoyed his performance so much, we ordered a copy of his CD for all our guests. Thank you so much Mark."

"The Jamie Cullum comparisons are all too obvious, but Mark really has a lot more to offer than JC's brand of jazz/swing lounge music. At the Christmas party night we attended in December Mark performed a huge range of songs including the Baywatch theme tune! A special mention also has to go to his powerful cover of 'Proud Mary'; one of my all-time favourites! Despite that evening being his third night that week, vocals were faultless. Thanks for a great evening. "

"Mark played at our wedding reception at Aintree Racecourse; he was absolutely amazing. All of our guests enjoyed his performace so much that they got up from their meal to sing & dance....the atmosphere was electric! I would recommend anyone who is interested in hiring Mark to hire him: his performance will be roof-raising. Mark - we will be hiring you for every family party we have, you were fantastic!"
- Lee & Helen McKee

"At our recent 150th Anniversary celebration event, a colleague recommended we invite Mark to perform. Mark did a fantastic job playing songs for us; very versatile and talented. Thanks for helping to make our event a memorable day!"

"Having Mark play for my son's christening in April really made the day that extra bit special. He has a seemingly effortless ability to adapt his style & content on the fly, to cater for all musical tastes. His cover of Elton's Rocket Man even made me cry! Without a doubt - York's best kept secret."
- June Hunter

"Mark played at my wedding last year, and despite the fact that I had seen him perform before, he blew me and everyone else away with his energy, professionalism and quality. If Jamie Cullum & Elton John were ever to have a musical love child with a penchant for funky big band sounds, he would have to go a long way to beat the strength and versatility of Mark's performance! With such a varied musical set, why go anywhere else?!
- Steve Watt

"Mark performed at our wedding in March 2006. His performance added to the elegant sophistication of the day, without his great talents as a singer & performer the day would not have had the atmosphere it did. It was an absolute pleasure for both ourselves and guests to be entertained in such a fabulous and professional way. We will never forget the experience - truly recommended, a wonderful treat!"
- Jamie & Katie Davison

"Mark, you brought the personal touch to our wedding day, singing a range of songs to suit the tastes of all our guests- so many commented on how excellent you were! You made our evening reception a really memorable occasion - perfect!"
- Amanda Harrison

"Mark approached me over two years ago and was keen to arrange a demo for me in our lounge bar. This was something I was wary of, but decided to give him a chance. That was all Mark needed! He delivered a fantastic evening's entertainment, keeping all my guests in the bar all evening and delivering encore after encore. Mark now appears regularly at the hotel, excelling at special events and has delivered top performances every New Year's Eve. Well done Mark....when are you coming to Scotland to do a guest appearance?"
