Superb quality talented entertainer and musician!
Andrew T booked Ian Michael for their event • October 2023
“Don't hesitate! Ian delivered a blinding performance for our Banquet Weekend at Oxford Spires. He arrived well in time, he delivered a varied and creative set going right through without even a break. We could not believe his musical stamina. We got delayed with our charity raffle so his rest was before the massive set. We felt we had our own Brian May / Noel Gallagher all in one. He is a very talented musician, vocals, sound effects, backing tracks and accomplished guitarist who also builds his own guitars... just like Brian May!”
Rachael G booked Ian Michael for their event • October 2023
“His combination of tracks ensured we got everyone on the dancefloor, young and old, with many of the vintage guests bemoaning their aging limbs as they would have loved to have joined in. He has a great repertoire and is flexible in delivering what is needed on the night to deliver the party atmosphere. It felt a real luxury having live music and it made a real difference to the evening. Ian was lovely to deal with and I am now looking for an excuse to host another party and use Ian for the entertainment!”
Do yourself a favour and book this man for your next gig!
Simon G booked Ian Michael for their event • September 2023
“My 60th birthday party was in a small venue with about 100 people, the youngest being 6 years old and the oldest being a very fit 89 years old, with all the ages in between. Ian came early to set up and his lighting rig and sound system were perfect for our particular set up. I can honestly say that his entertainment was astounding. He played guitar and sang a wide range of popular songs for all age groups. He soon had the dance floor full and everyone singing along while they danced. Ian did 3 sets of live music and then played dance tunes in between on his breaks. The 2 things that stand out are Ian's professionalism and everyone telling me how amazing he was. My social media went crazy the next day. Do yourself a favour and book this man for your next gig!”
Tracey R booked Ian Michael for their event
“Ian performed at my recent birthday party and we were so impressed! Not only is he the nicest person to deal with, he listened to exactly what we wanted and got all our guests up dancing, creating the perfect party vibe. I would not hesitate to book Ian again for future events. Thank you so much for making my birthday extra special!”
Charles R booked Ian Michael for their event
“Absolutely brilliant. Had no idea one man could produce such a wide variety of sound. Used Frostie for our street party and he was charming and excellent with both adults and children. We will not being looking elsewhere next time we need a “band”. Thank you!”
