Seb was amazing at our wedding, we were so happy we booked him! He made it the exact party we wanted and all of our guests loved him! I couldn’t recommend Seb enough, we would 100% book him again!!
Sophie BallWedding at Apton Hall, October 2026
We hired Mistershed for our wedding reception and he was fantastic! Sebastian really added an extra layer to the night accompanying our DJ and kept the vibes going! Thanks again 😀
Luke SandleWedding reception at Shuttleworth House
Was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. He accompanied our DJ and sax player and they worked together so well.
This guy is the best and made our reception one to remember for many years to come.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Mister Shed at several events now, and he never disappoints! His energy is infectious, his talent is incredible, and he knows exactly how to get the crowd going. If you want to take your event to the next level and keep the dance floor full all night, he is your man! An absolute pleasure to work with and someone I’d highly recommend for any event.

Sebastian played for our work summer party and everyone had a great time! He was super flexible and accommodating around times and even some pretty rogue song request! Super talented and got everyone up dancing!
Naomi JohnsonCorporate summer party, Elida Beauty
It was an absolute blast, everyone danced and the bongo beats kept the tent alive. Not only did he bring an amazing vibe, he set up quickly and was ready to perform straight away. The crowd absolutely loved it!

MisterShed is one of the best in the business, not only an incredible Bongo player but an incredible human too. Love working with him, always super professional and looking to improve on everything he does.
