Hi, I'm Martin.
Whether you want relaxed music in the background of your drinks or dinner event, or a lively set for your guests to sing and dance to, I have the songs and experience to match your needs.
Over the last ten years I've built up a huge repertoire of material, and a wealth of experience in performing at all kinds of functions and events. I've performed at private functions, on boats, functions on boats, on live radio (so far no radio shows on boats) and at hundreds of venues across the country.
Should you be interested, I also perform as part of an acoustic duo and in a three piece function band. If you'd like to consider adding these options I'm more than happy to discuss them with you.
Additionally, every client gets to request one song for free, so if you would like to dance your first dance to a live performance of your favourite track I can make that happen.
As well as all this I am also able to provide a complimentary laptop DJ service, so that there's always music playing at your event from beginning to end.
If you have any questions feel free to get in touch any way you like. I'll always endeavour to respond within 24 hours and do our best to meet your needs.
Thank You.
Martin.
Martin was exactly what we wanted for our wedding. Beautiful and relaxing music throughout the afternoon and a fantastic set of songs to get everybody dancing in the evening. A really personable chap that was so flexible throughout the organising of our wedding (including three different dates!). We had a number of our guests comment about how good Martin was and we would have no doubt about recommending him for any wedding.
Great service
Lovely guy, very professional. Amazing singer and knew just how to get the party going and keep everyone entertained
We are so glad Martin played at our ceremony. His music was lovely and we were very thankful that he learnt a song for us. Everyone loved the style of music and if ever an occasion rose, we would certainly use Martin again.
Excellent singer and entertainer. Thank you Martin
Martin was outstanding in all regards and was a great addition to our event. We booked him for an awards evening dinner/drinks reception - he provided two great sets to match the mood which our guests loved. Played a great choice of songs from all eras which went down well!
He was a first class professional in every regard, approachable and easy to work with. Highly recommended and we hope to book him again in the future
Martin was great had for my daughters 18th mixed ages every one loved it really nice guy
"Anyone requiring a musician will not be disappointed with Martin’s services. He went above and beyond to make sure that our proposal went according to plan, from picking up items as part of the surprise to braving the near freezing weather outside.
Communication from the start to end was effortless and Martin truely tries to tailor everything to your requirements.
Massive thanks again Martin for supporting me and being apart of our celebration."
Martin was great, from communication to the performance and the songs it was all A+ for us. would highly recommend him.
Brilliant music for a relaxed garden party. It added the perfect atmosphere for the party. The songs that were played were so good for all at the party. Martin was also very professional, and all communications with him was excellent. Definitely highly recommend Martin!
It was a last minute decision to ask Martin to play at our charity event, and we are so glad that he did. He was very friendly and adapted his playlist to suit what we wanted. He definitely made the atmosphere a good one. We would definitely use him again for any further events we hold. Thank you Martin.
"Martin was the opening act for me at my Festival Themed 30th Birthday camping weekend.
I couldn't have asked for a better, more talented musician to open the days celebrations for me.
From the performances and song choices, to him and his professionalism and personality. Martin really excelled in all areas and made what went on to be such a memorable weekend.
For anyone seeking an acoustic artist to blow your mind. He's your man.
Martin, I send my personal thanks to you for truly being a gent and a very talented musician. I wish you all the best in every future endeavour, and will certainly have you perform again in a flash for any future celebration I may hopefully go on to have.
I'll be recommending you to EVERYONE."
We absolutely loved Martin, our wedding guests were blown away with his performance. He played guitar as I walked down the aisle and also for drinks on the lawn. Our guests had a fab time and were thoroughly entertained. I couldn’t recommend Martin highly enough. Thank you for making our day perfect!
Absolutely fantastic, we couldn’t recommend him enough Martin is a lovely man, all our family and friends loved him. He truly made our wedding day even more special. Thank you so much Martin x
Martin played at our party, was fantastic. Very gifted musically, could take requests etc but also a strong front man, interacted with the crowd well and provided a great atmosphere
Martin played recently at a family function, he was warm engaging and read the audience perfectly. He sang and played beautifully and even went to the trouble of learning a song that was special to us all. I would thoroughly recommend him and would book him again.
Martin was brilliant really great voice totally engaged with the audience, he did a great 2 hour set starting with some gentle acoustic and then building into something more heavier which got people dancing. Really nice guy who the guess at our wedding loved.
Martin was fantastic, he done 2 sets which were very different. We had a relaxed set sang over the wedding breakfast which guests really enjoyed and then a more lovely set sang in the evening to get the guests dancing! I thoroughly loved every song and so did our 2 year old song who was permanently sat in front of Martin clapping, he especially loved the Toy Story theme song! All our guests have complimented on what a lovely addition to the day this made and what a brilliant singer Martin was. Thank you Martin, you were professional but extremely friendly. Thanks again from Mr &Mrs Newsome
Thank you for a great evening, brilliant musician!
