Testimonials
* I just wanted to personally thank you on behalf of everyone last night for a truly successful evening. Everyone really enjoyed the entertainment you provided and said it was the best Christmas Party they had been too! You are a very talented man and I will definitely be recommending you to people. Hopefully we can work together again in the future.
Marie McQueen, Executive Assistant, 20th Century Fox
* With Andy Ellison, the first thing that comes to mind is professional. He is very approachable and attentive artist, who not only delivered the goods, but engaged completely with our audience. Bringing individuals up on stage with him, shows how confident and personable he is - and not afraid to share the limelight with others. His selection of tracks was varied and popular, with a good interaction with the crowd. Nothing but praise from all round.
Queen Elizabeth's Hall
* 'Andy kindly joined us at Grosvenor Casino Swansea for our annual Wales Air Ambulance Charity evening where he enthralled our customers to the point that I am still getting phone calls asking when he will be returning! He was absolutely awesome and got everybody out of their seats and on to the dance floor, creating an atmosphere that was enjoyed by all. I will definitely be inviting him back and would strongly recommend him to anybody who's looking for a great night of entertainment at their establishment to follow suite and hire an amazing talent.'
Huw Lewis, Events & Marketing Co-ordinator , Grosvenor Casino Swansea.
* "We worked together at a fantastic charity event and Andy put everyone in the mood for a spectacular evening. Whether young or old everyone loves this style of music and I think Andy was born a few decades too late - he would have really looked the part on those Vegas stages alongside Frank and the gang!"
Siâny, Radio Presenter, 96.4FM The Wave, South West Wales.
* Your performance was a resounding success. Everyone I've spoken to your enjoyed your choice of songs. A huge thanks from me for making it a successful night. The first ball I've had to arrange and thanks to your performance it was a huge success. The consensus of the committee is that we hope to use your services again. I will also be passing your business cards onto the appropriate people in other lodges of the masons. Thanks once again.
Roger Kay, Regional Director, North West Masons
* 'Thank you so much for the vital role you played in making our annual glitter ball such a great success. Our staff and clients had a fantastic evening and dancing the night away was the absolute highlight.

We will definitely use your services again, so keep doing what you do and we wish you all the best.'
