"No way would our party have been the booming success it was without Phill! The British weather was a bit miserable but when he sang Here Comes The Sun and it finally appeared, the crowd went wild. We have had so many people singing his praises, raving about his performance and telling us what a great party it was. Phill mixed in with guests too who all loved him. He is a smashing bloke and truly talented performer. "
Lisa hired Lennon Live for a Private event (available in Truro)
"Throughout the whole process Tom was accommodating, patient and the consummate professional. Tom met us at our venue to get an idea of what we wanted and how he was going to set up for the evening and also suggested that we pop along to one of his open mic nights (which we also highly recommend) He is extremely friendly and a highly skilled guitarist. His repertoire is so varied it’s hard to pin point one area that stands out. The highlight for us was later in the evening where it seemed as though no matter what request was asked, he performed to the highest standard. Thank you Tom, you helped make our special day even more memorable! John & Lisa "

What are the different types of guitar available?
1. Acoustic Guitar: An acoustic guitar is a traditional guitar that uses only an acoustic soundboard to help transmit the strings energy into the air to produce its sound. They are versatile and commonly used in various music genres. 2. Classical Guitar: Classical guitars are a type of acoustic guitar specifically designed for classical music. They have nylon strings which produce a mellow and warm tone, and a wide neck, allowing for specific fingerpicking techniques. 3. Electro-Acoustic Guitar: An electro-acoustic guitar is essentially an acoustic guitar fitted with a pickup or a microphone, allowing it to be plugged into an amplifier or sound system. This type of guitar can be played acoustically or amplified for larger performances. 4. Electric Guitar: Electric guitars use pickups and amplifiers to produce sound. They have a solid body, which can be made of various materials, and steel strings. Electric guitars are a staple in rock, jazz, blues, and many other modern music genres. 5. Gypsy Jazz Guitar: Gypsy jazz guitars are similar in appearance to traditional acoustic guitars but have specific design elements such as a petite bouche ("small mouth") soundhole and a distinctive D-shaped soundhole. These guitars are associated with the gypsy jazz style popularised by Django Reinhardt. Apart from these, there are other specialised types of guitars like resonator guitars, 12-string guitars, and baritone guitars, each designed to produce specific tones and serve particular musical styles.
