Feedback

Great job. I would hire again. Very nice guy! -- Julie O, East Dundee, IL, 3/1/2009
Joe was very accommodating and willing to change his times on stage to work with us with the dancers, and announcements. I would recommend Joe to anyone that wants good talent. Kay Miller Sec. of the Lee County Irish Heritage Society -- Patrick W, Dixon, IL, 3/8/2008
Joe played for our son's Rehearsal Dinner. Our new daughter-in-law comes from strong Irish roots. We thought it would be fun to have him entertaining tthe families and wedding party. We kept it a secret, so they were surprised when they walked in to Joe and his guitar. Joe offered to and came with, a list of songs that were handed out to the tables for requests. He also did some non-vocals in the beginning while people were eating appetizers and visiting. Our son's new in-laws were thrilled. When we looked back at the evening, without Joe, it would have been just another dinner. He really set a festive mood that continued on through the rest of the wedding celebration. Joe was great at communicating with us and getting back to us promptly with answers to our questions. We had no reservations about him or his talents, sight unseen and unheard. We think this was largely due to our converstions we had with him, over the phone and by email. Thanks again Joe for a great time. -- Lynn And Dennis T, Chicago, IL, 10/28/2005
