James was an absolute highlight to our wedding, bringing the greatest Greek music to life with his incredible bouzouki playing! His talent, passion, and energy created the most amazing atmosphere, making our celebration feel truly special and authentic. From the first note, he had everyone captivated, and his music set the perfect tone for a night filled with love, joy, and dancing. What made it even more magical was how beautifully he played alongside Evangeline on the violin. The two of them together were pure perfection, blending their sounds seamlessly and creating some of the most breathtaking musical moments of the night. Their performance was nothing short of unforgettable, and our guests are still raving about how amazing they were! Thank you for making our wedding so incredible!

We had James play bouzouki at our engagement party, and he completely set the tone for the night. From the moment he started playing, the energy was incredible. He got everyone on their feet and created such a fun, lively atmosphere. I was so impressed that I reached out to start bouzouki lessons with him! James is not only a talented musician but also a great bouzouki teacher. Couldn’t recommend him more highly.

James recently played the bouzouki at our engagement party, and he was truly amazing. His music really captured the celebratory mood. He played a mix of traditional Greek and contemporary music. We loved hearing James freestyle over afro-house that our DJ played, it created an incredible vibe to begin the night. He really made our party special, and we recommend him to anyone looking for a bouzouki player. We look forward to having him play at future events!

I’ve had the pleasure of learning the bouzouki under James’s guidance for the past few months, and I can confidently say he’s one of the most patient, knowledgeable, and passionate music teachers I’ve come across. James has a deep understanding of Greek music traditions and adapts his teaching style to suit your pace and goals. Whether you’re a complete beginner or already have some experience, he makes the learning process both accessible and inspiring. His lessons are structured, blending technique with theory and musicality, and he always takes time to explain the cultural background of the pieces we’re working on. What really sets James apart is his encouragement and genuine enthusiasm. He creates a relaxed environment where mistakes are part of learning, and that’s made all the difference for my confidence. Highly recommended for anyone looking to learn the bouzouki in a way that’s both fun and deeply enriching.
