Reviews
JamesRAy Preferred Choice
As an event manager for the previous 15 years I have contracted many performers and acts to provide entertainment over that time. JamesRAy’s talent, performance, professionalism and friendly easy-going manner have ranked him with the preferred choices on that list.
JR was amazing. Aside from providing a great musical performance, the he showed seasoned skill in reading the crowd and chose songs that were exactly right to get the guests up and enjoying themselves.
I would use JamesRAy’s services without hesitation in the future, and can recommend him to anyone who is looking for musical entertainment that is hassle free and of an extremely high standard.
Lisa Grace
NZ Richer place with JamesRAy
As well as being an extremely talented song-writer, JamesRAy is an accomplished guitarist and has a finely-tuned voice. His on-stage energy is exceptional and his charismatic personality holds the audience spellbound. I have always found him extremely easy and pleasant to deal with. He is courteous, punctual and always willing to please.
New Zealand is a richer place musically since JamesRAy decided to make his home here. His fresh approach to acoustic country rock and his brilliant song-writing ability lead me to think that it won't be long before he is a household name in this country.
DIANA EDWARDS ROCK IT PROMOTIONS Director
JamesRAy has the Mussel
JamesRAy is not only an accomplished song writer but also a very profficient guitarist and player of the harmonica. He is an excellent performer and is very genuine in the delivery of his material. He has displayed a high degree of proffessionalism in all aspect of his trade and has been a pleasure to work with.
JR has performed at the Mussel Inn and we have had no hesitation in booking him to perform again.
Yours Sincerely,
Andrew Dixon
