I've seen Carl's awesome entertainment at many a wedding in my job as an event planner, and he is totally amazing in that setting. Whether for background and sweet ceremony tunes or the party dancefloor.
Then this past Saturday he absolutely rocked my husbands 40th entertainment at our home! He turned our deck into a dancefloor and read the crowd like a pro. The next morning I had 3 guests message me to ask for his contact details for their next function.
Highly, Highly reccomended.

Thank you so much for Saturday night, it was such a blast. Everyone thought you were amazing. People were singing along and dancing from your very first song right through to your last song. You had so much energy and shared this with everyone there

We were all just sitting back and soaking in your music. Your voice is spectacular. Your playing / performance is spectacular. I sat there smiling the whole time. Amazing to hear your voice again

We booked Carl for our wedding in Jan as my parents are a fan of his band Uncle Monkey. He also offered us acoustic music during the canapes time, which was perfect. Carl sang some of the announcements during the song he was playing, which got people’s attention quickly and got some laughs as well. He helped to bring such a fun and relaxed atmosphere to the day. Then later at the reception the band were incredible! They even let me get up on the drums and my sisters sing for a surprise performance. The song lists cover so many years and genres and, being music lovers, it was perfect for our day. Thank you so much Carl and Uncle Monkey
