“Duncan was amazing, we were so thrilled with his repertoire and he was really amenable to requests. Our highlights were our respective parents having a dance, including one set of parents dancing to their first dance track. If we ever hosted a small event we'd definitely get Duncan back, we're just sorry we didn't get more time to chat with him. Many, many thanks Duncan!”

“5/5 Duncan was fantastic! He was a wonderful addition to the day and fundamental to the awesome atmosphere of our very special day. We could not have asked for more! He skilfully contributed to key moments of the ceremony, adding emotion and structure to the short but special ceremony. Duncan is so skilled and is such a lovely, positive person. His passion of music, quality and knowledge really shows. We were blown away with such talent for the price. Duncan if this gets to you you need to charge much much more, you are pure talent! Thanks again and we’re both so incredibly grateful that you joined our special day.
Thanks again and all the best.
Mr and Mrs Moor :)”
