Phil Short Acoustic - Guitar Singer - Coulsdon, London Event Location: Online Event Type: Virtual Event 28th November 2020
"Fantastic performance by Phil Short in a surprise guest performance at my wife's 70th birthday Zoom party. Bob Dylan was her favourite artist and Phil performed the Bob Dylan tracks she liked best. She absolutely loved it and there were rave reviews from all our other guests too. Phil was set up to perform over Zoom, could have been in the next room and needed no technical input from us for everything to work perfectly. He was such a good sport too - going along with the surprise element of the performance and leading our 70 guests in a slightly out of synch Happy Birthday chorus on Zoom! He has a wide repertoire and can deal with less crazy events too I know - and so after his performance for us I would strongly recommend him to anyone looking for a versatile and talented singer."
