Keith A booked J M Guitar for their event in Merseyside • March 2023
“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!
