“We were a fairly small company - not much more than 20 - and we really wanted something that would create a pleasant and relaxing ambience. Allan’s excellent musicianship provided that perfectly. We would certainly seek his services again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.” - Peter McK
“We booked Allan for a Garden Party and I would thoroughly recommend him. He played for 2 hours and it really elevated our party into something really special. We discussed the playlist beforehand on email which was reassuring and he emailed me again prior to event to say he'd arrive in plenty of time to set up - which he did. He was a lovely addition to our party!” - Suzanne R
