Hiring Paul Saker-Norrish through Better Band Co. was the best decision I could’ve made to elevate my 40th birthday party. Paul did three 50 min sets for us on a perfect summer’s day as I celebrated with friends and family in our garden. My guests were moved to tears, singing and grooving along to Paul’s beautiful voice and wonderfully considered take on the songs that really do form the soundtrack to our lives. Working with Jan and Paul couldn’t have been easier and I recommend hiring Paul for any occasion that requires good music and good vibes. If you’re thinking about live music for your next event, don’t hesitate, book Paul now! Can’t thank y’all enough.

We recently had Paul Saker-Norrish play at our wedding. He was so good I kinda wanna get married again! Paul was super professional and worked with me on the song choices, general approach to the music, he was flexible and played in a couple of locations for us and on top of that he learned our walk in song and converted it acoustically which just made the day. Many of our guests (many of whom are musicians) commented on his performance and sound. 11/10 highly highly recommend

When I was in the early stages of planning my wedding, I went to a bar to meet some friends for a drink. Paul was singing and playing a wide repertoire of acoustic tunes. I was immediately taken with his talent and his relaxed yet professional demeanor. And his voice – raspy yet pure, gentle but with depth. I contacted Paul soon after, and asked if he could play a cover of a Billie Eilish song at our wedding as I walked down the aisle followed by a two hour set of tunes of his choice. Paul was fantastic. He learned the Billie Eilish song and played the guitar while singing with a female singer. It was beautiful. His two hour set started right after the ceremony, and set a relaxed, authentic vibe for our garden wedding.  Paul was flexible, organised, experienced, wise, talented and also just a really lovely guy. His contribution to our wedding was priceless. I would absolutely recommend you engage Paul for your event – he’ll add something really sophisticated and special.

I booked Paul for my 50th after having seen him do a Sunday afternoon session at our local. After asking me what I wanted from him on the night, he did an incredible job of reading the crowd, working up from chill backing music over dinner to having the dance floor jumping later in the evening. My guests loved him and he made the night unforgettable for many people. I’d book him again without hesitation.
