"Great musician to work with, always brings the energy and is always professional. Big thank you Tom!"
"Tom was a great asset to our wedding day and we are so pleased we booked him. Great musician with good selection of songs. Hassle free and so easy to communicate with."
"Tom has actually sung at both my sons’ weddings. He is the loveliest man. His voice is amazing, and he really gets the crowd going. I think Tom can sing absolutely anything, but when he performs opera, it’s incredible — his voice is so powerful. He is so friendly, always smiling, and genuinely looks like he loves what he does, which really reflects in the occasion. I would 100% recommend Tom for any occasion and look forward to seeing him at other gigs he does. Thank you, Tom and team!"
“I first heard Tom at my sister-in-law’s birthday party last year, so when I decided to throw a 50th birthday party in Ponteland (just outside Newcastle), I couldn’t think of a better performer. He reads the room perfectly and plays music for all ages. I couldn’t recommend him enough, and I have passed his details on to quite a few people looking to arrange parties.”
- Simon, Feb 26
“Tom definitely delivered the perfect atmosphere for my 40th birthday party. All my guests loved Tom’s setlists, including some who hadn’t seen him perform before. The dance floor was constantly full, and I loved the personal touch of the cassette tapes for DJ requests. Tom and his team made the booking process so easy. Considering my visual impairment and dyslexia, everything was straightforward and easy to understand. You definitely made this milestone birthday one to remember in all the right ways possible. I would definitely recommend Tom and book again for future events.”

"Tom was absolutely fantastic at our wedding! His voice was incredible, his song choices were spot on, and he kept the crowd engaged all night. He read the room perfectly, mixing songs to suit everyone and interacting with guests throughout. Worth every penny – we couldn’t recommend him highly enough!"
- Dave, Dec 25
"Tom entertained our u3a group - Bedale - last Wednesday for our Christmas meeting and it was wonderful, great voice, lovely choice of songs and such a nice guy. I wholeheartedly would recommend him, I’ve had lots of requests to have him back."
"We chose Tom to play at our wedding at Newton Hall in Alnwick last week and we couldn't be any happier with our choice. Tom was fantastic. His communication throughout was faultless, he listened to our requests and took on board our taste in music. Tom did 3 x 60 minute sets at our wedding reception and DJ'd in between and he was so fun. Despite having an intimate wedding with only 30 guests, there was always someone up on the dance floor and those who chose not to dance were singing along in their seats. His musical ability is impeccable and his voice is incredible. All our guests complimented our evening entertainment and it's still being talked about now. Thank you so much to Tom for making our evening special, creating the perfect atmosphere and ensuring our wedding day ended on a spectacular high! Alex & Lloyd"
"Tom was a fantastic addition to our wedding at Doxford barns, he sang during the drinks reception and wedding breakfast and was a hit with everyone from the kids to the grannies! He created the best atmosphere, took requests from us before hand, from our guests during and took it from sophisticated to party showing how versatile he is and his voice is too! Would recommend to anyone!"

"Where to start to give Tom a rating? Tom provided the music all afternoon and into the evening for a wedding vow party for my son Chris and his wife Sarah. As a result of COVID they did not experience the wedding they originally planned. We therefore had a party where they could share their vows, not just with each other but with the family too. Tom played as they joined each other for their vows and then sang beautifully as they shared their first dance. Throughout the event he played and sang and gauged his audience brilliantly with a wide range of music that we all enjoyed. We sang along and danced and had an absolutely marvellous time. Tom really threw himself into it and made the day really special for us all. Thank you Tom, you were amazing and we would definitely recommend you to anyone who needs entertainment for an event."

Will certain have Tom back for future parties 🥳 THANK YOU SO MUCH"

"I booked Tom for my husband’s 40th birthday, and he was absolutely fantastic from start to finish! He brought the energy, the vocals, the fun and totally exceeded our expectations. He sang everything from Barbie Girl (yes, really!), to Eminem, and even hit the emotional heights with “Bring Him Home”. His range and versatility are just incredible. The whole night was full of laughter, dancing, and unforgettable moments, all thanks to him. He got everyone involved, read the room perfectly, and truly made the night epic. I wouldn’t hesitate to book him again and would recommend him to anyone looking for a talented, entertaining, and professional performer. Thank you for making the night so special!"
- Sara, Sep 25
"Tom & Bobbi Jo were fantastic. They went over and above to entertain everyone from children to teens to some old school classics. They made my partners 40th very special thank you! Would definitely recommend and will be looking to book them again for any future special occasions! Nothing was too much effort for them and the process from start to finish was made simple, Tom was very responsive to any questions I had. Thank you both!"
- Annabel, Sep 25
"Wow. Tom sang during our wedding breakfast and DJ on the night. One word to describe amazing. Our guests loved him especially sing alongs during the wedding breakfast. We had so many compliments about him, 100% would recommend!"
- Jessica, Aug 25
"We recently got married at Doxford Barns and booked Tom and the band to play and also DJ. So many of our guests have said to us that they were incredible. They commented on Tom and the band knowing what songs were going to bring people to the dance floor, the energy and charisma. We can't thank you enough for making our day even more special. Truly amazing. Would highly recommend!!"
"I had been planning our garden party for well over a year. I had the marquee, the food, and the beer tents sorted — I just needed the entertainment. After a lot of researching, I came across Tom Powell Music. From first contact with Tom and Miss Bobbi-Jo to actually meeting them on the day of our party, everything went smoothly. The weather tried its best to dampen the mood, but with Tom and Miss Bobbi-Jo singing their hearts out — and not forgetting the DJing — they had the crowd on their feet dancing the night away. Our garden party will be talked about and remembered for a long time. I can honestly say that if you want the BEST entertainment for any type of party, I highly recommend Tom Powell Music and Miss Bobbi-Jo."
"I honestly could not recommend Tom enough. I just so happened to stumble across him when I was searching for live acoustic wedding singers. It was important to me to have someone who could sing the love songs of our choice for the ceremony, but who could also bring the vibes during the wedding drinks reception. He did both perfectly. We picked quite different songs for the ceremony, including Edith Whiskers, and then Oasis for our departure song, and he sang them all beautifully, truly making each one his own. Throughout all our conversations from start to finish, he was so lovely and willing to take on all our ideas. I wanted an upbeat atmosphere for the drinks reception, and Tom said he would just go with the vibe of the guests — and he absolutely smashed it. We had a garden ceremony with lots of outdoor drinks and garden games, and he handled the outdoor setup fantastically, making it such a wonderful afternoon. It says a lot when the male guests could not stop dancing and singing along to the music. The guests — and Tom — were enjoying it so much that he overran his allocated time and sang right through to our wedding breakfast, which wasn’t planned but was very much appreciated. He could see how much fun everybody was having and how much they were enjoying every song. Tom also worked alongside our DJ to sing our first dance song, “Stargazing” by Myles Smith, and he absolutely smashed it. Watching the videos back, I’m so happy with how it sounded and how much he got the crowd going. When you’re in the moment, it can all feel like a blur, but the videos — and the comments from our guests — speak for themselves. I couldn’t recommend him enough. Do not hesitate to book him for your wedding — ours would not have been the same without him. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Tom, for memories that will last a lifetime. Mr & Mrs Ball"

"Had Tom for our wedding, what an amazing time we had. He had the guests up dancing/singing, everyone commented on what a great time they had. Not to mention he’s an amazing singer! Would highly recommend. Thank you, Ash & Jake"
"Had Tom at our wedding, what can I say about this Man, absolutely incredible from start to finish. His professionalism through out was amazing . His voice is absolutely unbelievable and was able to sing a huge variety of songs. My guests were simply blown away. He made our wedding so much better. I would absolutely highly recommend him, and he has an option of his band who were also amazing. My friends and family danced the whole night. On top of that such a humble nice guy went out of his way for us. Just an all round perfect experience. I guarantee you will not be disappointed. Thank you so much Tom, I will be booking you again that’s for sure. Jamie"
"We can not thank Tom enough for the music he provided for our wedding, he had everyone on the dance floor from young to old with all eras of music. He provided us with a mash-up of songs for our first dance and made it really special to us. He even got the groom on the dance floor more than once, which is unheard of. We would recommend Tom to everyone who needs a singer or someone to provide music for an event."
"Tom performed at our wedding on 21/09, and he absolutely smashed it! It was everything me and my wife were hoping for, and more! We had sent Tom a few requests before the wedding and he stuck to them, whilst also delivering kind words throughout! Everybody has been raving about Tom since the wedding, he really did play a big part in our day! We highly recommend for any event! Thanks a lot Tom! 🙌 Jordan and Alisha"
A beautiful wedding evening topped with Tom’s amazing music, we danced our socks off to brilliant tunes 🎶 Absolutely recommend Tom Powell for your special occasion! 🎉
"What can I say ! Wow. I met Tom at the Newcastle Wedding Fair - I loved his personality and voice. He had great communication throughout and has offered advice. On the day he did not disappoint - as a bride you tend to miss most things as your head is in a whirlwind. As I stood at the door ready to enter - I heard Tom and he was literally everything I could ask for and more ! Throughout the day, he kept my guests entertained with a wide selection of songs, it then came to the evening ! I thought the day was good - the evening just blew me away. My husband and I walked into a packed dance floor at the beginning of the night - which is unheard of ! From that point onwards, I never saw the dance floor empty , the atmosphere was amazing - I really can not say how happy I was with Tom. And if you are able to ! the duo that can be booked are equally amazing ! Thank you."
"Amazing DJ. Played such a great variety of music and contributed to a fabulous atmosphere at Ali & Andrew recent wedding. Highly recommended."
"Tom came to entertain a large group, and we received numerous compliments during the night and the days following about how exceptional he was as an entertainer. People were also impressed with his vocal range! He was flexible and adapted his song choices seamlessly when the dance floor filled up before the meal was served! The French songs and playlist at the end were also a hit, particularly with our large French delegation. We hope to see you again soon!"
"We engaged Tom to provide entertainment for a social evening for about 60 people. There was a wide range of ages although the older generation predominated. He beautifully performed songs of a variety of styles. Within a few minutes of starting, people were up dancing without requiring any encouragement. So, thanks Tom for a wonderful evening."
"Highly recommend. This is the second time I have booked Tom for an event and yet again he was amazing. Astounding in fact. This time we had children at the event and he couldn’t have been more accommodating to their requests.
Tom reads the room, so everyone enjoys themselves. We have even had neighbours of neighbours stop me to say how much they enjoyed the music and his amazing voice. Thank you for making my party so special. Just have to organise something else to book him again!"
"Wow, wow, wow! Tom is amazing. He regularly performs at our venue and everyone always loves him. His voice is incredible. He can do anything. He is always very professional and goes that extra mile!"

"Thank you so much for making the wedding of Josh and Paige so memorable. The songs were so varied and everyone was sung with perfection. You took time to make the children feel special and allowed one young man to live his dreams to perform on stage with you! The Performances and the DJ from start to finish was faultless. All our guests have left with amazing memories of the day and that was down to first class entertainment. I highly recommend Tom Powell for any occasion."
"I had seen Tom perform a few years at a friends party. We then I asked him to sing at my partners 40th birthday party, he was that brilliant we then asked him to perform at our wedding on the 1st of June 24. What can I say, absolutely superb. From right at the start when we were organising, to the day. His voice is beyond amazing, and sings a great genre of songs to keep everyone on the dance floor. We will definitely book him again for future parties/events. We were also lucky enough to have Bobbi-Jo (Toms fiancée) perform as well who’s vocal cords are out of this world and sang our wedding song (power of love by Jennifer rush). Both amazing in their own right Absolute dream team together. Thank you for helping to make our day perfect. Vicky and Matty Langford"
