Testimonial
"Recently Simon Stephenson played at a dinner for distinguished guests at our home. Although he was booked to give a short performance, he was required to do background music on the evening due to some change in the programme. This he did with excellent skill at exactly the right volume without intruding into the conversation, yet most watchable at the same time. We thought that he coped with the change of plans brilliantly.
I have also seen him perform in a small folk music group before, where he impressed with his sensitive yet passionate solo play as well as his ability to accompany the other instruments and voice.
I would not hesitate to recommend him for both these kinds of performances: for entertaining background music and (especially) for a solo guitar performance or in a group."
