A Great Entertainer

Giles was a great entertainer. He showed up early to set up, brought all of his own equipment, and started on time. He did a great job choosing songs that the crowd liked. He has a calm energy about him and a smooth voice that went well at our Christmas party. There were a lot of compliments given from our crowd of 75-100 people. I would recommend him to anyone that needs entertainment for a party or gathering.

Giles did Great!

Communication with Giles before the event was great! He was professional and courteous the entire time and he instinctively played just the right music at just the right sound levels. He arrived when he said and played the full time agreed upon. I would highly recommend him for a private event like ours.

Great performance!

Giles played for our informal backyard party, and he was prompt, very pleasant to chat and work with, and we and our guests thoroughly enjoyed his performance! We repeatedly heard, “He is GOOD!” from the crowd. Giles also graciously agreed to perform for an additional hour because we enjoyed him so much. We would definitely book him again.

Perfect choice

We had an evening garden party at our home with 25 people, and Giles was the perfect choice for music during and after dinner. He was also very easy to do business with.
