Richmond Rugby Grounds–“It bought a tear to my eye to see you and10,000 people all singing Billy Jean as one.”

“David is a lovely man and his show was excellent! I was excited and a little nervous if I’m honest as he was making his way through the crowd! My brother and his wife thoroughly enjoyed the show as did the wedding guests. A lot of people have been talking about it since, for good reasons don’t worry(!) I would highly recommend David as MJ! Thank you again.”

David Boakes was amazing. He was very professional and I would highly recommend!
