5 stars - Sam Philips are Highly Recommended
booked Sam Philips for their event

“Sam arrived early for our event and we had plenty of time to chat and discuss what our function was for as well as the venue facilities, plans and timings for the evening. We soon felt comfortable with Sam; he was very accommodating, friendly and easy-going. He started with a quiet first set to enable guests to chat. The second set was more upbeat and from the start the dance floor was never empty. The range and quality of his music was super. The evening was a complete success with most if not all of our 100 plus guests asking where we found such an excellent act. Sam was given much applause with many people staying to the end and requesting his contact details and thanking him.”
