"The closest thing to Jools Holland & his big band.
Jazz FM

"The band were exceptional - they put so much energy into the performance. The dance floor was full for the entire evening and so many of our guests commented on how fantastic and unique the band were. We cannot thank them enought for making our evening reception go with such a swing! I would recommend the band to anyone"
R Hewines

“Just a quick word of thanks to the band for making the Kleeneze conference go with a bang! We received several positive comments from the production crew at the NEC – thanks for all your efforts “
Corporate Event - J Beasley

“The wedding was fantastic & we both had an amazing day. We both loved the band & especially the music for our 1st dance - 'It had to be you' from our favourite film When Harry Met Sally. The guests also loved the music either for dancing or just listening to. I would recommend the band to anyone. Thanks again.”
Wedding Reception – Mr & Mrs Bishop

“I wanted to write and say "thanks" to the band for playing at our wedding reception. I received several very complimentary comments from my guests ….. really made the evening go with a swing. Can you pass on my thanks to all the guys!”
Wedding Reception - Mike Price OBE

"… a big thank-you for playing at our party ….. You had many compliments from our guests and everyone enjoyed it hugely. The music was perfect for the occasion and we were pleased that we were able to have pretty much the entire party outdoors……Thanks also for setting up so efficiently and for being so cooperative with the boat staff, who were all really impressed with you (I think they'd like to recommend you for future functions, if you're interested).”
Wedding Reception - HMS President

“As always, we were delighted with the band’s performances at Marlborough Jazz ... I think that this year’s Marlborough Jazz was the best occasion yet, exceeding even last year’s splendid weekend. Thanks for your help in making it such a success.”
Nick Fogg - Marlborough International Jazz Festival
