Testimonials

  • "He and the band had everyone up on their feet dancing all night"

    We first saw Paddy live in an après bar in France and had the most incredible night—his set was unforgettable.

    As soon as my husband and I got engaged, we knew we had to reach out to see if he could play at our wedding, and it was honestly the best decision we made.

    Paddy was kind enough to sing our first dance, which made the moment even more special. He and the band had everyone up on their feet dancing all night, and we received so many lovely comments from our guests about how amazing the live set was.

    Thank you, Paddy, for truly making our night so memorable. Hopefully we’ll see you again in the Alps sometime soon!

  • "an unforgettable night. Thank you so much!"

    I have thoroughly enjoyed seeing you perform on several occasions in the Alps, so I was beyond excited to have you at my 21st. My mates were shocked when you appeared and couldn’t believe it! One friend had spotted you in the boat beforehand - but was told he was nuts by others and forgot about it! Thanks for being such a great sport, hiding at the venue and playing along with the surprise reveal. As always, your set was incredible, and letting me play your guitar was a particularly memorable moment despite me being somewhat inebriated... It was the perfect end to an unforgettable night. Thank you so much!

  • “Paddy is a true professional.”

    It's not every day that you get to host an event at the Monaco Grand Prix on a luxury yacht so when you do you want everything to be as special as the event itself. Having seen Paddy James perform previously at an intimate gig I was absolutely sure that he would be a perfect act for this event, so he was my first choice and luckily for me he was available for that weekend. Paddy is a natural performer with an amazing voice and a passion for the music industry which is so evident with every note that he plays and song that he sings. His interaction with the audience is a pleasure to watch, reading their mood and song preferences perfectly. Not only did he perform some amazing covers in his own unique style he wowed us all with some of his own material which absolutely demonstrated his amazing talent as a writer, composer and a singer. Everyone who attended the event was so complimentary of his talents and left with fond memories of the weekend. A couple of years on and I had the opportunity to book Paddy again for another intimate gig and again he blew the audience away with his performance, his amazing vocal capability and his increased catalogue of original material. Paddy is a true professional with an amazing future ahead of him.

    Paddy played at our small wedding reception in London, and in summary he made the evening! 10/10, and we didn’t have to give him a single bit of guidance on tracks - he read the room instantly. We’re having him back next year for a bigger celebration and cannot wait!
