“Thank you for playing so beautifully at our wedding. You did a wonderful job and your guitar playing is fantastic.Thanks for making our day extra special”
- Beth and Pete Murray

We (Gallup Consulting) recently hosted a large corporate event for Board Directors which included an evening drinks reception. Steve was booked to provide some background music. Steve chose a great selection of music, which he performed and pitched perfectly to provide a lovely ambience but not be intrusive. Steve was very engaging – both with Gallup staff and our guests and a pleasure to work with. Many of our guests commented afterwards on how much they enjoyed his performance; we have already asked Steve to support other events for us in 2011.
