Gwyn is a fabulous entertainer guaranteed to make you feel great and ensure your event is unique and completely special. Either as a solo singer or with his talented band, Gwyn performs a repertoire taken from classic jazz, swing, soul and party songs that is a refrshing change from some of his peers. Delivered with rare panache and an individual style, Gwyn brings more than just music to every event.

Such is Gwyns versatility, you can book him as a tribute to Louis Armstrong, a duo with guitar and percussion or with his usual 3 - 4 piece band comprising keyboards, bass, drums and trumpet. His repertoire extends far beyond just the great music of his hero Louis Armstrong as it includes soul classics from Sam Cooke and James Brown to jazz standards, pop music and even some of his own successful recordings. He is an amazing performer, a real crowd pleaser and a natural entertainer. Sensational!!

Fans of singer-songwriter Gwyn believe he is entitled to much more than fifteen minutes of fame. The Jazz, R 'n' B, African, Latin and Gospel virtuoso has spent most of his life preparing for his moment in the spotlight. It was his deep, resonant vocal quality that brought him to the attention of the show "Sound of the Platter"s. He joined the tribute band, playing to sell-out venues across the USA, including Caesar's Palace and Carnegie Hall. Gwyn also starred as Cab Calloway in the long-running smash hit West End musical The Blues Brothers, singing, acting and dancing his way into the hearts of thousands of theatregoers.

Gwyn's vocals have graced tracks recorded by musical giants including soul diva Diana Ross, reggae heavyweight Maxi Priest, and dance icons Jamiroquai. Gwyn's musical collaborations have included working on songs with dance band Basement Jaxx.

Dock of the bay

Heard it throught the grapevine
If you dont know me by now

Black magic woman
Wonderful world
Dont worry be happy
Lovely day
Aint no sunshine
Careless whisper
Holding back the years
When a man loves a woman
Living for the city
Higher ground

"Apologies for the delay but I just wanted to thank you so much for performing at our wedding. You were absolutely amazing – from the ceremony to the evening with the band. We've had so much feedback that you made the night. We really had the best day ever and you contributed so much to this. Our worries to get people on the dance floor were completely unfounded. Please pass our thanks onto the rest of the band."
Mr and Mrs Sergeant

"Gwyn was excellent. Managed to get evryone up and dancing which was amazing because it was a really hard crowd to work. The band was very flexible and professional. Would definitely use them again."
