A fairly simple concert starring two very talented artists with healthy senses of humour.

Fantastic! Jon entertains his audience with his engaging charisma musical talents and sings all the songs everyone loves a true entertainer, words are not enough to tell the way I feel about him. This amazing act along with Peter Cupples who again has amazing vocal talents ensured it was a night that was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Looking forward to the next gig that I can attend! A fan for a very long time. xo
