booked The Banjo Guy for their Wedding in Cornwall

“The Banjo Guy played at our wedding in Cornwall in July; - he's so talented and a lovely man to have around on a special occasion. He learnt two songs for us which he played beautifully with his own spin on them both, that made them unique and memorable.
