What can I say; an absolutely fantastic performance by Duncan. A slightly unusual gig in as much as it was on top of a hill on a plantation of Christmas Trees! Duncan was amazing. The occasion was the wedding of our daughter, day 2 celebration. A real outdoor event. Duncan is not only incredibly talented, but a really nice person and from start to finish, an absolute professional. Thank you so much for adding that special something to a brilliant day. I hope we will have occasion to see you again.

Duncan was absolutely fantastic and exceeded all our expectations! He was so lovely on the phone when we spoke and was great at communicating in the weeks leading up to the wedding. He was also super keen to learn the songs we wanted and was flexible on the day. My husband and his family all play guitar and they all commented on how great he was and how he didn’t play one note wrong! He was fantastic during the ceremony and reception and got the tone just right. We couldn’t be happier with him!

Duncan played background music at our house warming party of around 75 people. His playing created a brilliant ambiance meaning everyone felt comfortable and relaxed straight away. Duncan is clearly an established and talented musician with a lovely, friendly demeanor. Friends have already asked for his number and we would certainly recommend Duncan very highly.

Duncan went above and beyond to make our day special and we are so grateful for him traveling all the way to Bournemouth for the day. Wish we could do it all over again!

Our booking with Duncan Howlett was one of the best choices we made for our wedding ceremony. He provided us with beautiful, skilled music, that made our ceremony so special and that everyone present will remember that much more because of his music. Well suited to our venue.

Duncan played for our wedding recently and was absolutely fantastic. Right from the initial booking, his communication was very efficient, always making sure he knew exactly what we wanted from the performance. He learned 2 brand new songs for our ceremony, both of which sounded great and were exactly what we hoped for! There's always a little apprehension in booking someone unknown to you for such an integral part of your wedding day, but Duncan definitely didn't disappoint. Feedback from guests was that as they came into the ceremony room, Duncan was incredibly friendly and welcoming, even whilst playing! We can't recommend him highly enough, thank him for making our ceremony even more special!

Duncan played at my wedding last summer. He played his guitar as guests arrived, for the ceremony and then for the cocktails. He was absolutely fantastic and I highly recommend. He was incredibly easy to communicate with and dealing with him was totally stress-free. His beautiful music fitted our wedding so well and we received many compliments about the music.
I am so pleased we had Duncan at our wedding.

It was such a special day for us and Duncan playing our favourite songs during the ceremony helped create the perfect atmosphere. In the run up to the wedding his communication was excellent and he certainly settled our nerves thanks to his confident, friendly manner. The songs we chose weren’t typical of wedding ceremonies but he played them beautifully. He was smart, punctual and very professional. We will definitely book him for future events and would recommend him to anyone.

Duncan gave an absolutely superb performance at our wedding and it exceeded all expectations. We initially selected some key tracks we wanted to play at different parts of the ceremony and he played them all beautifully. In addition, he played a selection of music for guests on arrival and then he joined us afterwards at the reception where he made the call on the music choices - so many of our guests commented on how excellent he was throughout. Extremely talented, very efficient and professional, and a really friendly guy! He even somehow managed to get his suit the right colour for our theme which surely deserves extra points ;). The whole booking process was also very personal and straight forward. We really enjoyed liaising with Duncan over song choices from his large repertoire and our own suggestions - his talent allows him to attempt new material with ease. Would love to work with him again.

We booked Duncan for our 40th Anniversary Party. We were concerned that it should be right. As the party was in a normal house, would the music be too loud or be such a major feature that it dominated proceedings? No worries! It was perfect background music, creating the intended atmosphere and all our guests complimented us on our choice. Duncan has a huge repertoire from which to choose. Excellent!!

Duncan was an absolute pleasure to deal with before, during and after the event. He was responsive in the build-up and had arrived and set up in plenty of time. He made a huge effort to take on our requests and even helped me with a surprise for my wife to be! All of our guests not only commented on how good Duncan was, but also how happy and smiley he is which makes a real difference! Thank you very much Duncan!

Duncan very kindly played at our wedding in June 2017. It was a beautiful sunny day and we were therefore lucky enough to have him playing outside where all of our guests were gathered as well. It was beautiful music and nothing too intrusive or loud. We chose the modern playlist with a few 'classics' in there so there was plenty of songs in there that everyone could recognise and we received several compliments from our guests about him. I would have no hesitations in recommending Duncan for your wedding or events. 🙂 Thank you again Duncan! Hannah and Jamie x
