Ajay's Bucks Party in Warburton, Oct 2024

Callum gave a brilliant performance that the guests in attendance and I enjoyed thoroughly. Callum took left-of-field song requests and intertwined them seamlessly with traditional Scottish tunes. His traditional Scottish outfit was a thing of absolute beauty, and his communication and level of professionalism was second to none. Cannot recommend highly enough! Thanks Callum!
