Hi Bill – please see below feedback received for Ed Sheeran Songbook, following his performance at The Runnymede on Thames on 04/05/2025: “Jack was brilliant! Very talented and he didn’t just do Ed Sheeran music he mixed it up with some 60s and 70s as well and it really hit with the crowd of varying age ranges. Easy tech set up as well”. Please pass on our HUGE thanks to Jack … Sue Coulbeck, Warner Ents

“Hi Bill … I just wanted to send a message to say thank you for arranging Cool as Vegas to play at our Garden Party on Sunday.
The band were amazing! ” Steph, Event Organiser, Hays Travel.

Hey Bill.  We just wanted to pass on the below feedback received from the team at Cricket St Thomas Hotel.
“Exceeded Expectations. Phenomenal performance from Jack. His chat between songs and audience participation, and song choices to include songs they all know in the style of Ed made it a show everyone enjoyed and had nobody leaving, and everyone completely onboard and loving it !”
Please pass our thanks on to Jack for the above, great feedback to receive!
Have a good weekend. Kind Regards, Jason Fuller, Entertainment & Activities Booker, Warner Hotels.

Music legend Ed Sheeran with his distinct look, voice and guitar playing would be very difficult to replicate you’d think, however Jack Bowater who performed The Ed Sheeran Songbook last Friday night at The Kenton Theatre brought “Shivers” to the audience with his uncanny resemblance, incredible voice and brilliant musicianship.
Jack opened the show with the classic, Castle on the Hill getting the audience to join in right from the start. Joking afterwards he said, “Gosh it’s close in here isn’t it. I should have spent more money on my hair!” He then went on to show how the loop pedal works; playing back what vocal or instruments he records on one microphone and replaying it via the loop pedal whilst he sings into the other microphone. He records this all in front of you saying “It could all go wrong!” As well as his hair, Jack from Sunderland has lost his North-East accent, has sleeve tattoos, black-rimmed glasses and dresses in “fake” Nike high-tops all like the main man himself.
Jack matches Ed for stride in vocal ability, guitar playing and stage presence and his cheek-chappy character is engaging and lovable too. His set takes you through Ed’s large back catalogue from his humble beginnings to superstar status and includes Bad Habits, Shape of You, Thinking Out Loud (Jack’s favourite Ed Sheeran song), Sing, Galway Girl and Perfect, along with a mash-up which includes other big hits from U2 (With or Without You) and Oasis’ Wonderwall.
After returning to the stage for the encore, Jack asked the audience for requests to play which were Bloodstream, Dive and Eyes Closed. He closed the show with Oasis’ Don’t Look Back in Anger which was a strange choice for an Ed Sheeran show but performed this with great Oasis gusto!

“The Ed Sheeran Songbook, featuring Jack Bowater, is a market-leading number one tribute attraction. I have seen so many taking a crack at this tribute subject, some with loop devices, some without. Jack Bowater is, in my view, head and shoulders above any other. Of course, it helps that Mr Bowater sounds, plays, and looks almost exactly like his chosen tribute subject”. Mark Ritchie, Viva Theatre.

“We had an exceptional night when Jack Bowater came and played to a packed house as Ed Sheeran. It was as close as you could get to the real thing, the crowd loved him and I would have no hesitation in re-booking the show”. Gary Melvin, Owner, The Diamond, Sutton in Ashfield.

“The best solo Tribute to hit our venue this year. Jack certainly pulled in the crowds and was a big hit for us”. Entertainment Director Flamingo Land Resort.

“Hi Bill, Just wanted to message you to say ed sheeran songbook were absolutely amazing at our team party! Never enjoyed a singer like him, just blew everyone away! Ive been doing this job for 5 years seeing bands every night at pontins, butlins and haven and never have i enjoyed bands and singers like them! Absolutely amazing night thanks to them! Please consider sending them to us again! The team thoroughly enjoyed them! Thanks again”. Nathan, Ents Mgr Amble Links Hol Pk.

“Hi Cliff…Jack came and performed his Ed Sheeran songbook in our hospitality suites at the Newcastle United vs Arsenal game. He has an incredible voice and was very entertaining, our clients absolutely loved him !!. I would definitely recommend Jack and would certainly invite him back to perform for us again”. Kind Regards. Rebecca, NUFC Events Manager.

“Outstanding performance on his first outing to a full house. He had the lions share of the audience on this evening. The Guests loved him. Great voice and selection of songs with shouts for more at the end. His second show was a great success with a big attendance. He put together a strong show and he really is an excellent addition to the Guest Ent. Line up. Great comments on the exit doors.” Jodi Lynch Carnival UK.

Hi Bill, Please see below for feedback received from Studley Castle;
“Amazing act. Really really good. A great tribute but also just a lovely guy. Lots of guests came and told me how much they enjoyed the show.
Please pass our thanks on to Jack for the above, fantastic feedback to see.” Head of Ents, Warner Hotels.

“Jack Bowater gave us his Ed Sheeran Songbook show and quite outstanding it was too. I have seen the new-fangled loop recorder used before on guitar and vocal, but never in such a brilliantly entertaining fashion. In my view, this is 21st Century tribute music entertainment at it’s very best !!”. Mark Ritchie, Stratford Artshouse.

“Jack was a pleasure to work with. Sound check was smooth and quick, and his personality on stage hooked the guests from the get-go. He knew how to work a Warner crowd, and the guests were on the dance floor from the first song to the last. A brilliant performance, and we can’t wait to have him back.
Please pass our thanks on to Jack for the above, great feedback to receive. Entertainment & Activities Booker, Warner Leisure Hotels.

What a great performance and what a great guy!
The Ed Sheeran Songbook was absolutely amazing at Brixham Theatre last night. This guy can really sing, play the guitar, and work some very clever bit of kit which loops whatever he sings over and over again to build up layers – all completely live and unique to each performance!
Plus, Ed Songbook (aka Jack) came out at the interval to sign posters and pose for photos with fans!!!
Hope to have you back in Brixham next year!
