Mark B booked J M Guitar for their Wedding in North Yorkshire • June 2024
“John had to play in less than perfect conditions to say the least!! Rain was torrential and venue partly flooded. He did great though and would highly recommend!!”
Adam W booked J M Guitar for their Wedding in Cheshire
“JM was fantastic, really beautiful acoustic guitar music and he was very accommodating.”
Charlotte H booked J M Guitar for their Wedding in Merseyside
“John's music was the perfect accompaniment to our wedding ceremony, it was an excellent performance and his repertoire fit the occasion very well. He was accommodating with our song choices, and friendly and easy to communicate with.”
Keith A booked J M Guitar for their event in Merseyside
“The idea was to have a soft mix of classical music along with well known covers in a classical way. This was during an annual Reunion Dinner so the intention was to have quality "background" music. Which is exactly what is was.”
Excellent, professional service!
Chris S booked J M Guitar for their Wedding in Shropshire
