"Leah and her guitarist Noe sang/played at my wedding ceremony and reception and added SO much to the romantic yet playful ambience I had going on. Her voice is absolutely gorgeous and flexible, accommodating jazzy/soul numbers to indie and pop numbers alike. She was extremely communicative and helpful in choosing songs, playlists and had great suggestions that made my wedding absolutely perfect Thank you so much Leah and Noe!!"

"Hana Dolgin and her talented trio delivered an unforgettable jazz performance at our office last week, captivating us for over three hours with their incredible artistry. From the moment they began, Hana’s soulful energy and masterful command of the music set the tone for an afternoon filled with pure delight. Her smooth, expressive saxophone playing paired beautifully with the rich, dynamic accompaniment of her two bandmates, creating a perfect balance of rhythm and melody that kept us all entranced. What stood out most was Hana’s ability to connect with the audience—she brought a warmth and vibrancy that turned our usual workspace into a cozy jazz lounge. The trio’s chemistry was undeniable, with each musician shining in their solos while seamlessly supporting one another. They played a mix of classic standards and original pieces, showcasing their versatility and creativity. Hana’s improvisational flair was particularly impressive, adding a fresh, spontaneous edge to every song. Beyond her musical talent, Hana was a consummate professional—gracious, engaging, and perfectly attuned to the vibe of the room. The performance was the highlight of our week, leaving everyone buzzing with appreciation. If you’re looking for a jazz experience that’s both polished and heartfelt, Hana Dolgin and her crew are an absolute must-see!"

"The Swing Empire have performed at several key events for us recently including the Cornwall Tourism Awards, our wedding open day and our New Years Eve celebration and they were amazing on each occasion! We had so many positive guest comments and feedback that we just had to book them again for this New Years. With a great variety of songs, interaction with the crowd and very smartly dressed what more could you want! Excellent musicians and certainly a band that we will be recommending for future events that The Headland organise and also for our clients weddings and corporate events."

"Saxophones, a rhythm section and vocals, swinging like crazy – that’s the aptly named FIVE STAR SWING ! As saxophone section in any band, they would take some beating. Beautiful tones and well-rehearsed by their leader, Chris Smith (Jnr), who has the singular talent of playing the trumpet with his right hand and the piano with his left at one and the same time ! He also happens to be a very experienced music writer having learnt his trade with the National Youth Jazz Orchestra and Glenn Miller’s Brother, Herb. Add to the fact that he can also well handle a vocal, as can his wife, lead alto Simone Smith and tenor man Stephen Davies, who’s clarinet playing on “Sing, Sing, Sing” was superb – and it will give you some idea of the breadth of talent in this line-up. This is a band crying out to be danced to and it wasn’t long before the jivers took to the dance floor. Five Star Swing –a “must” for every dance club in the country."

"The Las Vegas Experience was a great show for our Christmas Party. Music for all tastes with a fantastic singer and musician performing with a full light show and great sound. Marty is a true professional and a gentleman, nothing was too much trouble and provided a good DJ service as well."
