“"We hired Steve for a celebratory evening in Hamble with 50 guests. We asked for background music and also some fun music when it felt necessary, this is exactly what we got. Steve is very confident and has a great presence, interacting with the crowd and making everyone smile. He read the room well and by the end of the night, we were all happily dancing away! I would strongly recommend Steve Osman, a remarkably talented musician and performer.

“Steve Osman is an extraordinary guitarist- probably the best you will ever see playing in your local pub! This musician is going places - come and see him and enjoy his music before he is discovered!

“"Thank you so much for playing at our wedding ceremony - I didn't get a chance to speak to you on the day (damn photos!) but wanted to pass on my appreciation. We had lots of comments about you - mainly 'where did you find such an amazing guitarist?!!! You really made our ceremony special!"

““Thank you so much for entertaining our guests at our wedding on Saturday…you wouldn’t believe the amount of comments from friends and family asking all about you. Your guitar playing is so fantastic and relaxing”

““Hi Steve. We filmed Hannah and Peters wedding on Saturday and have to say again that your guitar playing was seriously brilliant”
Captured Moments Video Production Wedding at Langdon Court Hotel
““Steve played the welcome music, the song for ‘the walk’ and provided an amazing atmosphere to our celebration drinks. He was fantastic from start to finish, and I don’t just mean the day! Steve was highly collaborative in the creation of a bespoke and perfect slowed down version of a track for my bride to walk down the aisle to, completely understood the tone of music we wanted played and delivered this with aplomb! He perfectly hit the tone of the day, was friendly, smiling, smart and charming, but most importantly his work on the guitar was breath-taking.
Dominic GarciaWedding at Pencarrow House and Gardens 09/06/18
I cannot recommend using Steve for your special day highly enough, the perfect accompaniment to a perfect day”
““Huge Thanks for playing in Modbury on Sunday, I know the weather was not too good but your set was absolutely outstanding, I stood in a row of spellbound guitarists/musicians and watched your “Hotel California” in disbelief that the whole thing can be played on one instrument!
Rob Race, Festival Organiser and Guitarist Escape Committee/ Diamond Geezers
I have had continuous great feedback from people who had never seen anything like it”
“Just mesmerised by Steve and his guitar in the Blues Bar this lunch time........if you get a chance you so need to get to a gig of his....Amazing talent
Live Show at the Blues Bar 2018 The Barbican Plymouth
“We had Steve play for both our last summer parties and he didn't disappoint anyone. People of all ages really enjoyed his music and were mesmerised by his skills. His music and style really suited the relaxed atmosphere of a garden party with family and friends. We will definitely have him back and I thoroughly recommend him to anyone having a similar event. Really wonderful listening to a maestro in your back garden!! Excellent Steve, thanks again. Paul

“Very rarely will you ever hear the guitar played with such enthusiasm and ease"
The Jazz Cafe
“"The Spanish guitar can be a bit of a precious instrument, however, seen in his hands you are led to believe it is simplicity itself. He literally flies all over it producing everything from beautiful melodic sounds to funky licks with the occasional hypnotic repetitive phrasing you would expect from a folk violinist"
Paul Kelly Events and Festival Manager
“"A worldly mix of fluent Guitar"
Jazz-wise Magazine
“We first heard Steve play at Jolly Jacks in Plymouth, he amazed us so much we had to get his contact details, then when we decided to have a Summer hog-roast for Family and friends in Cornwall we contacted him with some trepidation, .... would he be prepared to travel from France to Cornwall to play for us....?
Mike KormanicPrivate party in Cornwall
Well, he did and the day was made into something really very special, he was able to read the mood and atmosphere as the afternoon progressed and mingled his music with back ground “goings on” without any difficulty and when things quietened down he captured the moment and had us all marvelling at his guitar magic.
Would love to have the excuse to invite him to another party!
“The incomparable, inspirational Steve Osman. After tonight's performance, I have to add World Class. If you were not here, you missed something Special!
Glen Wright, Blues GuitaristSteve Osman Live at the King and Queen, Hamble le Rice 09/06/19
““Steve played the music for our wedding ceremony and for our post-ceremony drinks and was absolutely amazing! So many guests commented on how fantastic he was, what a wonderful atmosphere he created, and that his version of “Stand by Me” was the highlight of the ceremony! He has an amazingly diverse repertoire, and was kind enough to additionally prepare beautiful arrangements of our chosen songs for walking down the aisle, which were just perfect! Steve is incredibly talented and an absolute professional, we cannot recommend him highly enough”

“We loved having Steve Osman on board the Princess Caroline entertaining everyone so enthusiastically / highly recommend going along to listen to him !
Andi Van Den HoekPrinces Caroline Party Ship
“Steve is an accomplished entertainer, a genius on the guitar, whose renditions are astonishing, comfortably mixing Bach with Bowie. His comprehensive repertoire from well known pop/country/folk ballad, to classical, pieces will impress and suit any get together - pub, party or as I had, a family gathering in the garden on a sunny evening. Book him - he’s brilliant and won’t let you down.
Paul JonesFamily Garden Party, May 2021.
“I would like to thank Steve for playing at my dad's funeral reception. Live music isn't the first thing you think of when planning a funeral but my dad was an avid guitarist and would have loved it. Steve's style fitted the occasion perfectly and played all my dads favourite songs. It made a sad day into one full of lovely memories.
KorineFuneral Reception, The Boat House Hythe. May 2021
I would highly recommend Steve for any occasion.
Thank you again Steve, It was a lovely afternoon and everyone really enjoyed your playing.
“I recently booked Steve to play at my 30th birthday garden party in Sevenoaks. He was absolutely incredible, we loved every minute! He immediately got a sense of the environment and vibe of the evening and really played to the crowd. We were all up on our feet dancing at the end of the evening and our neighbours even came out in to their gardens to enjoy the music with us. I cannot recommend Steve enough for any type of event. Thank you Steve!
Kayla30th Birthday Party, June 2021
“Steve’s playing will blow you away. He played for us at a private event and had us all spellbound for the entire set. His sound is gentle and beautifully crafted and on top of everything he is a great bloke!
Tom Hatfield70th Birthday Party, Herefordshire. June 2021
“I had a 60th Birthday party and of course hired Steve to play live, the fourth time he has played at one of our parties. His musical talent is truly incredible and he always wows the crowd with his wide repertoire of music that gets people of all ages in the party mood. Without exception, all my guests were blown away with his guitar playing and several will be booking him themselves for their party entertainment. I can’t recommend him highly enough, outstanding. Thanks again Steve, here’s to the next time 👍🏼

We were blown away by your music at the King and Queen last year but sadly they tell me you’re not playing there at the moment. Are you performing anywhere in Hampshire or Dorset in the next few weeks. We would love to hear your music again while dining out with friends.
