I also received an email from Eleanor's folks, who had initially booked me:

" Thank you so much for the wonderful performance last night.  Many of the guests commented on how good the evening was - especially the "first dance".  Both Eleanor and Mike were thrilled with the special recording* and the wonderful way in which you delivered it ... If ever you need a reference or a recommendation then please pass on my contact details and we would be more than to recommend your wonderful services.

" Thank you so much for performing at our wedding. We have had so many compliments from our guests about the entertainment and everyone has said how fantastic your voice was.
Your song choices were perfect and had the guests up and dancing all night! For a wedding of only 40 people to have them all up and dancing throughout the evening is quite a feat and you did it so thank you so much!
Thank you for your professionalism on the night. We had a fabulous day and your performance really helped to make it perfect. We will definately recommend you to friends and family for any future events. You were fantastic! "

" Absolutely brilliant! Really helpful with helping suggest songs and also learning ones special to us for the day*.
We cannot praise Jon enough, he went out of his way to make sure we had everything we wanted and I would recommend him to anyone as you will not be disappointed. He was really "tuned" in to both the music and our specific needs for the day. I dont remember much but I will always remember the music and the dancing! Thank you for making our wedding so lovely.

"We had a brilliant day and the singing and entertainment you provided was outstanding. Not only was it a professional and quality service that was personally catered exactly to our requirements but working with you was the easiest most enjoyable part of the wedding ...

Everybody else commented on the great music selection and a personal thank you from me in providing a "non-chees" package which as you know was so important to me. Your easy and professional approach to the day was also very welcomed - any questions or queries were always answered promptly and I felt throughout that you cared about our wedding and took pride in making it both special and unique for us. This is something I can say you do well and above some of your competitiors I also looked at initially. I would recommend you without hesitation to everyone and anyone that would listen. "

Jon Paul was a dream to work with - so organised and considerate. He really had all the bases covered. We had guests over from Cork City - who know how to party - and they all commented on how good the live entertainement was..... we both felt that your act and manner/approach was 1st class.  Thank you very much for being an important part of our special day...you are a true professional."

"Unbelievable! .From our initial contact on the telephone, I knew we had made the right choice of entertainer for our wedding.
We couldn't wait to hear Jon Paul sing live to see if it was any where near as good as it looked on the internet. It was in fact better.
Jon Paul was very aware of our requirements and went more than the extra mile to exceed our expectations...[and]...bent over backwards to meet the requirements of the audience.
One of the little treats that made our special day perfect. Jon Paul gave a service that felt personal to us and it was definitely good value for money. "

" Service was fantastic from the moment we met you at a wedding fayre. No problem in catering for our needs and even played some of our favourite songs in the background music!

For a vocalist set and disco, this was fantastic value for money.... Your singing was excellent, especially in the light that you played a Rat Pack session followed by Rock & Pop. You had all our older family members dancing to the swing music and the younger generation in the second set.

Thanks again for a wonderful night and we certainly won't forget it. We would certainly recommend you for any future events. Once again, thanks for being part of it and providing our guests with excellent entertainment. "

Feedback on the recording of Charity track "Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans?" - hear it in the media player on Audio Demos page - or at the top of this page

" Jon Paul's silky sounds, exemplfied on our Changed Waters Katrina Project, was the appropiate touch of melacholy, soulfulness & vibe of the most eclectic & flamboyant city in the world as it slowly, painfully reinvents itself past Hurricane Katrina. Our heartfelt appreciation for Jon Paul's musical contribution putting the "ya-ya" in the mix to further enlighten and engage others toward this effort. He is a must-have to hear. Les bon temps rouler! "

Jacquelyn Hughes Mooney
Artist in Residence/Project Director - Changed Waters Katrina Project
@ Bennett College for Women, Greensboro, NC
and Citizen of New Orleans, Louisiana, USA

Jon Paul responds:
"Thank you for your kind comments, although I must share credit for the track's sound and vibe with Rich B and Rich C of Thieves Like Us (aka The Semantics) without whose fantastic arrangement, musicianship and production the track would not exist."
