We recently attended a musical team building workshop. We found Mike's teaching style to be very patient, talented and professional. My husband came along as a beginner in guitar and was so impressed with how he learnt to understand not only the basics of how to play a guitar, but how to learn a song from beginning to end.

Mike played his guitar at a recent Spanish themed party we had at home and we absolutely loved the entertainment and music - he is very talented! In addition, he was so easy to deal with in the lead up to the event, nothing was too hard and he was very accommodating - thanks Mike for helping to make it a wonderful evening - we will certainly recommend you to others and engage you again if we need to :-)

Mike played at our wedding ceremony and part of our wedding reception the most beautiful Spanish guitar music. He is very communicative and can easily adapt with changes on the day. He even re-arranged the Hora for us in a Bossa Nova style. If you're getting married and want beautiful music then I can recommend Mike.

Mike played for our guests at my husband's 40th birthday. It was the perfect way to set the scene and start the evening. Mike is not only a talented musician but a pleasure to work with and just a really nice guy. We would have no hesitation in recommending to anyone. Look forward to meeting you again soon, Mike!

Mike played at my wedding in Brisbane. We were a bit worried working with a musician based interstate however Mike was very communicative and ensured everything ran smoothly. He even played my favourite song walking down the aisle. He is very skillful in what he does. I recommend Mike for any special event.
