The Calculators are an excellent and well presented function-style attraction, with a very accomplished five piece line-up, fronted by a female vocalist. The band played everything from rock to reggae, but in all honesty they could probably have played anything. (Butlins, Minehead) Mark Ritchie - The Stage

We couldn’t get Tina herself, but we did get the next best in Kinisha. We could not have wished for a closer impersonator. She was amazing and gave a wonderful unbelievable performance.

“I had the pleasure of having Jo Elms and her band play at my wedding recently. Our night was spectacular and without a doubt would not have been as fantastic if it weren’t for Jo and her band!
They got our guests up and dancing like I’ve never seen before. Not only is Jo a fabulous musician, she is a well organised, easy going, reliable, friendly and extremely professional person.

We were delighted and touched with what you played – it was a very special added ingredient!
-Mike (Wedding reception)
Both Mum and Dad had a lovely time. They just wished the party could have gone on longer as they were enjoying it so much. I am so glad you played for us – it was a wonderful selection of pieces and a real pleasure on the ears. It really helped the day to be even more special.
-Andy (90th Birthday Party)
I absolutely loved walking in to your beautiful playing, and all of the music which followed was just so perfect. It was exactly what we wanted and fitted the feel of the day so well.

"The very first Music of the Night event was headlined by this versatile classically trained Opera singer at Sewerby Hall and Gardens.
Set in a most enchanting of locations, hundreds of visitors of all ages enjoyed a breathtaking evening performance of popular Opera classics.
Even the onset of the rain towards the end of the concert failed to dampen the crowds’ spirit as Richard’s magnificent voice echoed across Bridlington Bay.
A night to be remembered by all."
Myles Bacon, East Riding Council

Richard came to sing at my fathers 70th birthday celebrations on a narrowboat. He entertained us throughout the afternoon not only with his great repertoire but also his affable and personable nature entertaining every guest. My father was very happy and each guest praised Richard's appearance. What made the day more remarkable was the fact that I called Richard at 9am on Sunday morning and he agreed to sing even though the barge departed at 1pm, after the singer we had booked cancelled at 8.45am! Richard had appeared in London the previous night and had a late night. I will highly recommend Richard to anybody!

Richard played a great part in keeping his appearance at my wife's 60th birthday party a surprise right up to the point he started singing. We have had many complementary messages from guests who were all delighted with Richard's singing and how he just fitted in with the celebrations. Wonderful and memorable performance.

My children gave us a surprise party for our Golden Wedding and Richard came and sang for most of the afternoon. Apart from having a lovely voice and a great range of songs he joined in the atmosphere and made every effort to ensure the party went well. We really enjoyed having him to our party and would recommend him highly.

My mother in law's celebration of life event was praised by everyone who came along. A very important part of that was the contribution that Richard and his accompanist Andrew Hubbard made. They worked well with us and tackled an eclectic selection of music with real brio, both during the main event and during the reception that followed.
Sheila Bennett 10/10
Richard and his accompanist provided the core music for a celebration of my mothers life. He was very helpful in helping us put together a selection of varied music and on the day gave us a performance to be remembered by us all. Just great!

Richard attended my parents 25th Wedding anniversary and performed their 2 wedding songs. It was a complete surprise for everyone when he appeared and he had people in tears, especially my step-mum when he performed Shuberts Ave Maria. He then performed a variety of songs later that evening which went down wonderfully. A great day made even better by Richard's truly amazing performance. 10/10.
Dudley Howell 10/10
Richard was the surprise vocalist at my daughters 18th birthday dinner, she is a huge Le Mis fan and Richard provided a medley of songs from the musical which was excellent. His relaxed manner, engaging approach and wide repertoire was very popular, he made our evening!

Just wanted to thank you so much for the wonderful ambiance you created at my parent's diamond wedding party a couple of weeks ago. Of course everyone at the party thoroughly enjoyed the music, but have also just heard from the neighbours two doors away who "really enjoyed the music, and felt they were in France"! Everything was absolutely perfect and it was a real pleasure to meet you. Thanks again.
-Andrew Ward
I especially wanted to thank you for your wonderful playing. It was really appreciated by everyone - no-one could believe we had found such a super accordion player to create just the right continental ambiance. They loved it and it really kicked off the second part of the party. You really do have a glorious talent not just for the instrument but for creating a great atmosphere - you make everyone feel so at ease. Thank you again so much, your music really added to what was a very special night for me.
-Theatre Director Alasdair Ramsay
...our most memorable moment this year was the celebration of our 'Do' at the Wiltshire Music Centre. We especially enjoyed your accordion presentation, both the playing and the performance. Everybody thought that you were great and in particular your 'requests' spots at the tables. Thanks. We hope to be able to see and hear you again before too long.
