We hired Harry to play at a sit-down birthday dinner. Initially I wasn't sure if it would work, but Harry made our celebrations swing! He is a fantastic guitar player and has a fabulous voice. His repertoire is so good - he reads the room well and absolutely made our little do into an amazing party. Everyone loved his music, so much so that they soon abandoned the dinner to dance to his playing and singing.
He is also a very personable, likeable fellow - the whole experience of arranging his session was very easy. He is a gem!

Harry is an outstanding performer. Has a way with just slotting in throughout the day. He elevated our day and was second to none! !! He bought us to tears on several occasions and even made the guests have a little sing during the wedding breakfast. We couldn't imagine how our day would have been without him there. Created the greatest atmosphere for all. We will forever cherish the memories of Harry's voice. Not only is he a wonderful performer but he's polite, well mannered and extremely professional. You just know he loves what he does with an immense passion. More...

Harry’s performances were brilliant!
Harry played his guitar and sang at our wedding ceremony then during our drinks reception. He learned and played a song especially as I walked down the aisle and played songs of our choice during the signing of the register and during our exit.
We had so many compliments from our wedding guests about Harry. It really helped to create the atmosphere we were looking for and we are so glad we booked Harry! As well as an excellent musician he is also a lovely person!

Thank you so much Harry we both look forward to hear you play again soon!

Love Rachel & Steve

We travelled from Australia for Kirsty and Chris's wedding, a delightful day made even better by Harry's incredible music. An extremely broad repertoire played with Harry's unique style made the day even more special. Five stars is not enough. Thanks, mate. :) More...

Harry was our musician for our wedding, and he was absolutely amazing. Full day package, from guest arrival, ceremony, and sets throughout the afternoon and evening. So professional and engaging with all guests, and such a great talent. His set list spanned songs from 70s, 80s, 90s and later, he even had songs from much earlier decades.

Communication was brilliant. So easy to book and contact. I have since heard from many of our guests how incredible they thought he was. He helped make our day just perfect. Cannot recommended highly enough, such a talent and an incredible voice

Harry was a highlight of our wedding day! From the first email contact with Harry and the Skype call we had to discuss our wedding plans he was very accommodating, enthusiastic and open to our ideas. Harry learnt a particular song that my wife and I wanted as our first dance and the rest of his live set was incredible! Even now we receive compliments about how good the music was on our wedding day. Harry also used his speakers to DJ after his live sets with our own choice of playlist. The evening to our wedding wouldn’t have been the same without him and I would highly recommend Harry to anyone. More...

We booked Harry to play at our wedding ceremony and for drinks on the lawn afterwards. He offers a wide selection of songs and even learnt a couple of new ones which were perfectly performed. Every guest was highly complimentary of Harry and being a guitarist myself, I was highly impressed by his performance. Really nice guy, excellent performer and would highly recommend. More...

Harry played at our wedding recently at the Larmer Tree. It was great having him play as guests arrived, during the ceremony, and for drinks after the ceremony. His performance was great, everyone was complimentary, and he's such a nice bloke. More...

My now husband really liked the idea of having a guitar player and musician at our wedding. For me it didn’t seem a big part of our wedding planning until we met Harry at a wedding fayre. I love Harry’s voice and the way he plays. I honestly couldn’t have been happier he played music as our guests arrived which in our lake setting was beautiful, he then learnt a song we asked for to play us out at the end of our ceremony - With ‘Forever Starts Today’ and he then played our drinks reception and another set during our meal. Having Harry there was amazing I didn’t have to worry about having music and I love that I got to have a little dance during the daytime too this was one of my most special moments of the day. Harry also set up a juke box where you could come and choose a song and I got to choose the first one! Thank you for making me feel social, Harry you truly made mine and my husbands wedding day.
I would very much recommend Harry thank you again for being such an amazing part of our day.

Harry's music was perfect for our ceremony and reception with lovely tunes and a soothing voice. We got many great compliments from our guests on his excellent skills and fantastic song selection. Communication leading up to the day was very professional. Harry, thank you for making our day extra special! More...

Harry was great, he was one of the highlights at our wedding and one of the best additions we spent our money on.

He has a really friendly vibe and the wedding guests loved him too, some so much they want to book him for their wedding. He also managed to get the entire wedding party on the dance floor by 3:30pm.

His music was great, he learnt 3 songs for our ceremony and it was incredible to hear how he can listen to a song and almost instantly play it on his guitar.

Harry also went to extra effort to move from outside for our ceremony, to indoors a few times to make the most of the sunshine we did have.

The whether was very unpredictable on the day but the only regret we have is not booking him for the evening too.

We booked Harry for our wedding in May 2020 back in the autumn of 2019 and were pleased with his lovely personality and his help to select the perfect songs for our special day. And then covid happened! Over two years of two postponements Harry was always very positive and kept communicating with us so when we finally had our day on 28th May 2022 he felt like an old friend. Harry sang as I walked down the aisle, and performed his own song “I Will” as part of the ceremony which was so beautiful x He sang us back down the aisle, through the drinks reception outside and 2 sets for the evening do - he was amazing!! All our guests remarked how brilliant he was and he is such a nice guy too, he made our wedding so much more personal and special to us xx Thank you Harry for joining us on our special day. We would thoroughly recommend him xx 💗 More...

Having Harry play at the wedding ceremony was the icing on the cake, his skill as a musician and choice of music were superb, and his presence added something that piped music could not compete with. There was no hesitation in playing the music requested and he truly made the service memorable and emotional. Thank you again. More...

Tom and I are both very pleased that we booked Harry for our big day. He knows loads of songs, enough to please anybody and we are very grateful to him for learning a new song for our first dance. Our guests all agree that he was a highlight of the day. He is talented, reliable and a really nice guy, too! We thoroughly recommend him. More...

Guitar Lessons

Since lockdown Harry has been teaching our son. An excellent , patient teacher. Our son has enjoyed every lesson and is keen to learn with Harry. Harry follows each weeks lesson with goals for the following one which are emailed shortly after the lesson. 45 minutes we found to be the ideal length for a lesson. As parents we can really recommend Harry More...

Our son has had a few lesson with Harry since we have all been in lock down. Tommy (12) has played classical guitar for a few years but wanted to learn the electric guitar and play music he could sing along with.
4 lessons in and he is playing Chilli Peppers, Green Day and loving it. Harry has really engaged Tommy and made him focus on his music theory. I would really recommend him.

Q&As

I love sharing my passion of guitar with my students. I very much enjoy helping every learner I work with achieve their potential on the instrument - whether it's beginning the guitar for the first time or taking their skills to a professional level I teach every student individually and provide them with bespoke tuition.

I have been a professional musician and teacher for over 10 years and I am very lucky to earn a living from what I love to do.

I am a fully qualified UK teacher with a PGCE in Music Education. I have taught many students guitar both in schools and privately and I am also a PRO guitarist. I have a degree in Music as well as a BTEC National Diploma in music. I currently work at two of the most prestigious schools in the South West and can teach all ages including pupils/students looking to advance their guitar skills outside of school.

I teach every student individually and plan out lessons that are enjoying and inspiring. After each lesson I send clear and detailed targets via email to help guide my students during their practice time. I can also send videos of correct playing techniques after lessons to also help with practice.
