What the customers say!

 

​

Review: WHAMTASTIC were simply Fantastic, 2 August 2014.

I have hired tribute acts in the past and like ‘young guns’ they have provided a service that was good but only what was paid for. It is not that they were bad boys but their total evening package cannot measure up to Whamtastic. It is not a ‘careless whisper’ that Whamtastic provided a service that was very personal and customer focused. David of Whamtastic took the time to find out what was wanted to make a successful evening and was flexible to change with the set list, function even to the point of allowing myself to share the stage to sing a song with him. Whamtastic even provided a personal song to ensure my wife had ‘everything she wants’.

I can endorse Whamtastic as a great family act who is incredible value for money. When the show started the venue was turned into ‘Club Tropicana’. David took the crowd to the ‘edge of heaven’ and kept everybody dancing throughout the evening. The feedback from those who shared the evening was amazing.

After the evening I had somebody who runs a club request details to book Whamtastic for a show. They had best book soon as George Michael will want his voice back and will be wondering where it has gone.

If you want a great act at an incredible price then David is simply in ‘a different corner’ to other acts and ,as he will tell you, “I’m your Man.” Vince and Collette, Minster on Sea

Review: Saturday 8th November 2014. Whamtastic has performed here about 4 times now, we cannot get enough of this show, its professional, top equipment and a voice to match George!

Review: Wedding 2012. 

Book this Guy, he is the only George Michael tribute worth seeing.

Right from the start he made sure that he would start when we were happy and not when he was. His music set between his two sets was great and fitted in with what our guests wanted - he has great ability to read people's minds! The show made our wedding day!

Just wanted to say a massive " Thank you" for performing at my surprise birthday party last week. Your act was truly amazing. Everything was brilliant, from the music, to the singing, the whole show. My guest's were really impressed and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Would love to know of any future events you are doing, as being the host I felt I didn't quite get to see/ hear as much as I would have liked to! I would undoubtedly recommend you for any occasion, but a definite must for any Wham, George Michael fan ..you were brilliant. Thanks again.

Studhambury Festival

Once again Whamtastic freely gave time and energy to support the annual Studhambury Music Festival (an event set up to support the CLIC Sargent, Young Lives vs Cancer charity) and once again had the audience on its feet dancing and singing along to the huge back catalogue of George Michael and Wham’s hits.

Whamtastic is fast becoming a favourite and must-see part of the day’s entertainment.
