Keith provided background music for a 70th birthday party. He was quick to respond with a quote and answer questions, was very reasonably priced, and was so talented on both the guitar and ukelele. I would definitely hire again!

Keith was simply amazing. He came on time. Had his own complete set up including speakers. He was fully prepared & ready to start. I had sent him some Bollywood songs ahead of time. He played these Bollywood songs as well as other popular western songs beautifully. I couldnt belie how well he had picked up those Bollywood songs. Brilliant. I would recommend Keith to any such function. Thanks Keith. Niru Mehta
