Versatile entertainer CJ plays your favourites from the 30s to the present day.

Q: How long does setup take?

CJ entertained our group of elderly holocaust survivors and refugees at our North London anniversary party. He sang songs they all knew, and they joined in, tapping their feet and clapping their hands. They loved him – he knew what sort of music they would enjoy and delivered beautifully. We will definitely book him again.
