Reviews

Has performed at several events & venues across the IOM, he is always a hit with all his audiences.

He has bags of character, a gorgeous tone, great power and is a talented guitar player. We can’t wait for his next gig on the IOM.

Alison


We booked him for our garden wedding and he didn’t disappoint, he was amazing from him setting up so quickly to the incredible performance he gave and everyone there was asking who he was and how good his voice was and people looking him up on Spotify there and then!

Grace & Sam


Played during our wedding ceremony and drinks reception and he was incredible!

He learnt our 2 requested wedding songs for the ceremony to perfection.

On the day he turned up with plenty of time and with everything he needed, which meant we didn’t have to worry about anything. During the drinks reception he created the perfect atmosphere and many guests commented on how beautiful the music was.

We’d recommend him for any event you’re planning!

Private Event

ACE Music Booking Agency rating stars for a completed live music booking for Private Event by Russ on 02 Apr 2025

We had a great party, and as always, it is the music that sets the stage. I would highly recommend Ace for the connection to Chris and his band members. All that attended loved the change from the typical.

Wedding Reception

ACE Music Booking Agency rating stars for a completed live music booking for Wedding Reception by Amelia on 11 Mar 2025

Zac was the perfect choice for our event. He played some songs from our play list and then others that he chose, and all were just right! He created a wonderful relaxed atmosphere and everyone had a great time.

Pub – Bar

ACE Music Booking Agency rating stars for a completed live music booking for Pub - Bar by John on 10 Jan 2025

We get a lot of demand from bands wanting to play here and dealing with the calls can take up a lot of time. Much easier to just tell them to sign-up on your site.
