Every annual event we have Paul Kinvig is an integral part of our team. Not only is he a professional host, he is a ' PEOPLE' person who creates an electric atmosphere. He is meticulous, organised and reliable. He has an amazing knowledge of music and is an entertainer in his own right. Polished and professional.

It is rare to meet someone so calm, friendly and as organised as Paul and nothing fazed him from the moment we met. I was new to the event business /charity and after explaining that I needed a compare for our Annual Ball, not only did Paul meet the needs of what was required but also helped me step by step with the information for helping me carry out this event. He went above and beyond that by helping me with the presentations and auction /raffle prizes with his vast experience of other events he had compared, which to someone new to this kind of thing helped me gain my confidence too.

Paul has been a huge part of our funki family for many years now. From the minute he starts singing to the very last song he has our customers captivated by his upbeat and energetic performance. No matter what age group we have dining from teenagers to pensioners he always adapts his set to the crowd. The weekends wouldn’t be the same without him!

It is a pleasure to have Paul host our AFC Business events at Vitality Stadium. Paul is an enthusiastic and committed individual who is able to share his business knowledge with the local business community. His approach is always positive and refreshing and we thoroughly enjoy working alongside Paul at our events. We would highly recommended booking Paul to host an event.
AFC Business
We have engaged Paul’s emcee services on several occasions and have always found him to be professional, organised and supportive. Paul is confident and engaging with his audience and possesses excellent communication skills, seamlessly steering the event with composure, fun and humour. In our experience, Paul can be relied upon to be a valuable member of your team whether planning, during or post event and we always very much enjoy working with him.

Paul hosted our first ever charity Fundraising Ball at the Hilton, Bournemouth, in February 2020. Even from the first planning meeting, he put us at ease with his wealth of experience, planning expertise and attention to detail, transforming our nerves and uncertainty into confidence and excitement. He certainly knows his stuff. At the event, Paul held the room in his hands, ensuring that the evening ran on time and without a hitch, delivering a fun and entertaining evening whilst ensuring that the fundraising aims of the night were met. We raised over £20,000 that evening to support homeless people in Dorset and I am sure that the event would have not been such a tremendous success if we had not had Paul as host. I would have no hesitation in working with Paul again and cannot recommend him highly enough.

A big thank you to Paul for expertly hosting MSP Capital’s ‘Cheltenham Race Day’ at Parkstone Yacht Club, Poole. The event was attended by over 50 guests and Paul did a truly fantastic job of keeping everyone entertained. Paul was incredibly professional at all times, clearly spoken and a lovely friendly guy. We could not recommend a better host! The afternoon was thoroughly enjoyed by all and we would be delighted to book again in the future.
MSP Capital
Paul has been entertaining customers and staff at Friday’s Bar & Tapas since we opened in 2016. He is one of our most popular singers and always draws a good crowd. He perfectly judges the room allowing customers to still hear themselves while eating, then raising the level to a more party atmosphere, mixing popular oldies, up-to-date pop and his own songs for a fun evenings entertainment, Always happy to take requests and has even had some of the guests join in the singing! We would highly recommend booking Paul for any occasion where you’d like the entertainment tailored to your requirements
