Jamie Brogden "My fantastic birthday bash with 'Elton'"

I had the Elton John Tribute at my 60th birthday -my husband arranged it as a surprise. He was absolutely terrific - as good as the real thing and I have seen Elton live several times.
He looked the part and certainly sounded as good as Elton. He certainly got the party going - I would have no hesitation in recommending him.

I booked the Elton John Tribute show at my restaurant earlier this year. His performance was a great success for us that evening. We had some very good comments from our customers that evening.
I would recommend his show to anyone without hesitation and I am looking to give him a future booking sometime next year.
