⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I booked John Collins to play saxophone at my 50th birthday party, and he absolutely made the night! I hadn’t heard of him before, so it was a bit of a leap of faith — but from the very first call, I knew he was a gem. He told me how he’d “read the room” and play to the audience, and he delivered on that promise and so much more.

John picked up on my name (sweet Caroline) straight away and even worked it into the music — such a thoughtful touch that had me sold before he even arrived. On the night, he was incredible: he mixed effortlessly with family and friends ranging from 11 to 85 years old and played something that everyone loved. The atmosphere he created was fun, cool, and completely unforgettable.

John didn’t just play music — he set the vibe, lifted the whole room, and kept the party rocking. I couldn’t have asked for more, and I would highly recommend him for any event. He’s truly one of a kind!

We had the absolute pleasure of having John Colins perform at our wedding drinks reception, and he was nothing short of incredible! From start to finish, he brought such an amazing energy to the day. His music was flawless—smooth, vibrant, and full of life—and he knew exactly how to set the mood at every moment. What truly set him apart, though, was how interactive and engaging he was with our guests. He didn’t just play; he connected with everyone, creating unforgettable moments for everyone.
Our family and friends are still raving about him—many have said he was one of the highlights of the whole day! If you want someone who will elevate your event, bring joy to every guest, and leave people talking long after the music stops, look no further. We couldn’t recommend John more highly!

Hi John
Just taking a moment to thank you sincerely from the bottom of our hearts for such an amazing show at our drinks reception in the Dingle Skellig hotel. It was everything we imagined and more, our guests are still talking about it. You set such a beautiful atmosphere with your talent.
If you have any site you would like me to write a recommendation on I would be more than willing to do so.
Hope to see you again in the future.
