About Jonathan

Singer-guitarist and violinist, 10 years experience in a folk wedding band. Great entertainer, guaranteed to make your event unforgettable!

Singer

Leeds

Music has been my passion for as long as I remember. I picked up the violin at the age of seven, studying to Grade 7 certification. Over the years, I expanded my repertoire to include the mandolin and guitar. Whether it is the heartfelt melodies of Celtic music or the timeless appeal of pop classics, I love bringing music to life in a way that resonates with people. For over a decade I played in a wedding band, performing at countless celebrations and special events. When my bandmates moved on to pursue their PhDs, I decided to keep the music going as a solo artist. With 15 years of performing experience, I know how to set the perfect atmosphere. Whether you are looking for a subtle, background musician or a lively entertainer to get the crowd involved. I tailor every performance to suit your needs, ensuring a seamless and unforgettable experience for you and your guests. Let's make your special day truly magical with music that speaks to the heart!
