He is a clearly experienced performer and adds the excitement and passion that the audience are paying to see night after night. The other great thing about Jonny is he isn’t limited to one style, if you ask him to mix things up he is more than capable of

learning and adapting to your requirements.” !!René Woollard - 2015 (Session Guitarist - Cheryl Cole, Little Mix, Jessie J, Olly Murs)
