Spanish Guitar

John was exceptional - He truly made our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour memorable. He is an amazingly talented artist who took our song requests on short notice and played them perfectly, with a touch of his own style on spanish guitar. From setup through to wrap-up, he was engaged with us, the wedding coordinators and the crowd. He enjoys what he does and this passion shines through his music. He had our wedding guests captivated. We recommend John to anyone for any event.

John was awesome!!! We held a social corporate event at a winery and John was exactly what we had hoped for! Courteous, on time, friendly and came with ALL he needed to set up and play! He even had speakers for the outside patio which really enhanced our evening! John's sounds was just perfect, and the guests feedback was all great! Everyone enjoyed the evening with the sounds of John and his guitar! It made our evening complete! We would def recommend John!
Thank you so much John for helping make our evening Fantastic!

As musicians we were a little hesitant about making the right choice. John was exactly the right decision. Talented, professional, punctual, with beautiful melodies.

Our only regret was that we didn’t get to listen to each and every piece he performed.
And there will definitely be a next time!

We had John play at my birthday party with around 30 guests. His totally masters his repertoire and his music is beautiful! But what we liked even more is that John is not a prima donna who wants to be the star performer: despite him being a top pro, he’s happy to play in the background and provide atmosphere. He made my party complete without imposing himself and everybody was very impressed.

We invited him to perform for our seniors in our long term care home and everybody loved him! Very versatile and energetic.

I have know John G from around 2007 or so when he came recommended from another industry colleague. I have since booked John for several welcome receptions/private dinners in various locations around Vancouver & Whistler.

John is quick with his responses and punctual on site especially with some complex load-in areas like the Roundhouse in Whistler etc. He is easy to work with and very professional with clients and the guests.

I love his calm approach and his music is definitely soothing and entertaining. I have also worked with John & Rossi as a duo, they definitely compliment each other and provide a great atmosphere for an intimate group.

He can also kick it up a notch when required which is a special talent.
John is my first go-to for any event that requires background music.

John played the guitar for my residents at the Weinberg Residence in Vancouver and everyone enjoyed his music a lot! He has a wide variety of songs and he is amazing at what he does. Residents have already asked me to bring him back.

John provided elegant flamenco styled guitar music for my wedding reception. It added something unique and special to our wedding day and helped create a very classy atmosphere. He was professional, and provided all his own equipment. I had many guests compliment on how amazing John's skills are! I would highly recommend him to anyone of my friends!

Over five years of being involved with raising money for childrens hospital we have had the honor of having John and Rossi perform at our fundraiser. They would arrive at our venue and play acoustic music during our serving of supper that all guest could not seem to get enough of. They would be accompanied at times by Rossi playing the steel drums with John on acoustic guitar. John and Rossi are fabulous musicians and two people that are highly professional and I consider friends that I hope last a lifetime .

I have owned Taverna Gorgona for the past 12 years and John and Rossi have played for us many times since the beginning. The most amazing sound and artist. Most of all they are wonderful human beings and always a pleasure to have them play for all our guests.

From our earliest days the West Fine Art Show has presented John Gilliat on guitar.

Art show guests are always enthralled and artists adore him.

John’s Flamenco Jazz and Latin Rumba blend passionately and soothingly into the broad canvas of our showscape and as a result he has truly become one of our most popular featured artists.

John was excellent. His set up, professionalism, skill and sets were exactly what we were looking for. We had 300 people through an open house style event and they all commented how great he was. I highly recommend hiring him for your event!
