Your set with nigel was just perfect [17th October,2009 HIghcliff Castle]. it gave us a chance to catch up and mingle
with all our guests in a really nice forum with great background music. thanks
so much for the time you guys spent learning the song we had as our first dance.
it meant a lot to us that you were able to tailor the songs to what we were
after. a lot of the guests commented on what lovely music it was. thanks and
kind regards. rich (and laura).
Hello Julian.
Thank you for your fantastic set at our wedding on the 29th
August [2009]. We have been meaning to get in touch sooner, but who'd have though
there would be so much to do AFTER a wedding! We loved the background music
during the meal - it was great to have something that we could actually
listen to, as well as creating a nice atmosphere, but still maintaining a low
profile so that conversation could be made.
We were so pleased and
excited by your version of our first dance - Everywhere. As you well know,
it's not exactly a classic first dance number, but you managed to slow it
down enough, without loosing the 'rockiness' completely. The rest of
the set was great.
Thank you once
again.
Kerry (and Nathan)Bartlett

Many thanks once again- Mike and Alyson
Dear Julian,

Hope we get anothe chance to hear yo play live!

Dear Julian,
I just wanted to get in touch with you to say a big thank you for providing such fantastic music for our wedding day on 3rd July at Bury Court Barn.
We thought you were fantastic, and our guests really enjoyed your music too.
We really couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day. I can’t
believe it’s all over and I wish I could do it all again
I hope you don’t mind that I have passed your details on to the venue owner, as they appreciate recommendations for future couples.

Hi Julian,
Just a quick
note to say thanks so much for playing at our ceremony [May 16th, 2009 Carey's Manor, Brockenhurst]. You were fantastic and I
am so glad we had you there. Thanks for learning that song
too!
Best Wishes

I have known Julian Ward for around two years when he started playing at the Captains Club Hotel, a chic boutique 4* hotel in Christchurch, Dorset. He is an accomplished guitarist/singer that fuses his music with the incredible scenery the hotel has to offer.
Walking around the hotel and chatting to customers, they have always commented on what a lovely ambience he creates and he always receives a healthy hand clap from our discerning guests. He is an outstanding artist capable of adjusting his style and mood to suit the time.
Julian is a very experienced guitarist and will transform your occasion with his beautiful music and has played at some of the hotels private functions after being recommended. His varied style and repertoire covers a wide range of music allowing him to be flexible.
Thank you Julian!
Gary Morris, Assistant Manager, Captains Club Hotel
Julian played guitar and sang a variety of songs from his repertoire at my son's
21st Birthday party, creating a relaxing but sociable atmosphere for this
intimate party of 28. The music and songs covered a wide range from popular and
classical and was appreciated by the age group which ranged from 21-80. Julian
has a great talent and I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone
arranging a party or function.
Thanks & Regards

Julian performed at our joint 30th birthday party and was outstanding. He has a wonderful voice and is an extremely talented musician. The atmosphere of the party was fantastic due to the ambience Julian created. He had learnt several new songs at our request which was amazing and made us feel very special. Many of our guests commented on how brilliant it was to have real live background music. Julian's perfomances of 'Mr Bojangles' and 'Mustang Sally' were superb, as was the rest of his set. We would highly recommend Julian for parties and weddings and would definitely use him again
Many thanks for making our celebrations so great

His interpretation of the work of late C18th Spanish composers through artists from the 50s, 60s to the present, reflects Julian's take on life; calm yet passionate.
His vocals are as good as any I have heard, and his repertoire is extensive. Julian responds to requests with ease. Blues, reggae, rock, soul, classical - all performed with sensitivity and mastery. I like it when he melts two songs together.
Whether his audience is in a school hall, underground bistro, Italian restaurant or riverside club, they are given a performance to remember.
Moira Callingham, Ringwood.
I have seen Julian perform and I was stunned by his beautiful playing. His repertoire ranges from popular easy listening to virtuoso classical pieces displaying accomplished technique and professional musicality of an incredibly high standard.
Graham Millward, Bournemouth.
I have been privileged to watch and listen to Julian perform on several occasions and I always get completely absorbed by his exquisite guitar playing, be it popular classical pieces or more modern songs. He is an extremely accomplished musician with an excellent soulful voice with a great range that he can adapt to a wide choice of music.
If you want to make a great occasion better, book Julian to play. In my opinion, he'll entertain you as well as Paul McCartney, but his rates are a great deal less!
Stephen Pearce, Fordingbridge.
