TESTIMONIALS:
'The Caravan Club invited Shaun Williamson to an event in Birmingham and it is fair to say that he completely wowed the crowd! Shaun performed a selection of songs and got everybody on their feet dancing and singing along. The Club also staged a celebrity quiz and again Shaun really was the star of the show. Shaun is a consummate professional who is a true entertainer. We are looking forward to working with him again in the very near future. He really is a born entertainer with amazing talents'.
Nikki Nichol - Head of Public Relations - The Caravan Club

'It was great, just going through all the emails I got yesterday and everyone is saying what a star Shaun is. He really was amazing, he mingled and was happy to sign autographs and take pics all night - I think he enjoyed himself too - he stayed until 11.30pm having a drink and a joke with u'.

Thanks very much for all your help - he really was a professional through and through - we would definitely use him again and definitely promote him to others.

Peter Wilkes - TFB MUSIC AND LEISURE LTD

'On behalf of all of us at Gillingham Supporters Trust I would like to pass on thanks to Shaun for the outstanding effort he made on our behalf on Friday. The feedback we have had so far has been excellent, and so much of that was due to his input to the evening. We also look to have raised a record amount for one of our functions, probably exceeding 5,000.00. The hard work on behalf of our cause really was special. Thank you again'.
Nigel Holland Gillingham Football Supporters Club

'Just to say Shaun was a great success. We enjoyed working with him - one of the best in experience. He was spot on for our audience and text messages were flying back and forth between our guests and the HHH offices around the country, you'll never believe who the 'guest' is! We were also impressed with how Shaun, without prompting, was prepared to go around the lunch tables to speak to as many of our guests as possible - a great hit! He has set the benchmark for future events. Please pass on our thanks to Shaun and would have no hesitation recommending his talents'.

We certainly achieved that'.

Deloitte & Touche Summer Ball - Cabaret and Singing with Band

'The audience were enthralled throughout his cabaret act. Joy and happiness lit up the venue and the laughter could have literally brought the house down. And the singing. Everyone just had to dance to Shauns terrific voice. Shaun gave up so much of his time meeting and greeting the guests and everyone went home felling they had just made a new best friend'.
Shepherd Neame Brewery Annual Dinner and Dance - Cabaret and Band 2003

'You are one very brave man. To sing live like that with no rehearsal, minimal back up and on a cold November morning takes talent, and just as importantly, sheer guts. You got the parade off to a fantastic start and the song was perfectly in keeping with the Lord Mayor's theme of 'A City in tune.'
