5 stars - J F Guitar are Highly Recommended Nish A booked J F Guitar for their Wedding
“We picked Jules to play at our wedding because of his huge range of background music. He was superb at our wedding- he communicated well with us beforehand and on the day, arrival and set up was very efficient. Our guests really enjoyed his selection of Hindi songs, English and a little bit of Bob Marley! Highly recommended!”

Fantastic guitarist and blended perfectly at our occasion
5 stars - J F Guitar are Highly Recommended Jessica H booked J F Guitar for their event in London
“J F Guitar went to a very special effort for us and learnt a Turkish song (last minute!) as my husband is Turkish. He is a fantastic guitarist and blended perfectly at our occasion. So many commented how much they were enjoying his performance. He initially played solo then added a backing track later on which worked to gradually liven up the party. The music was absolutely beautiful.”
