"Brian Bender was great! We were looking for Irish music for our cocktail hour and a DJ for after dinner. Brian was able to provide both of those things! He put together a three piece Irish band and then he DJed the rest of the night. He was great and everyone danced the night away! We ended up having him stay an extra hour because everyone was having so much fun! Highly recommended "

"Please send my thank you’s to the members of the band that came to perform on Sunday for the Tennis Wheelchair Masters tournament. They were a delight to work with and really lifted the atmosphere on finals day, we had lots of great feedback from everyone about them. I will definitely keep the band in mind for any future events I am involved in as they were brilliant! If anything comes up I will definitely let you know!"

"Thank you Jonathan and the band so much for making a very sad day go with a ‘swing’. It was exactly what my Mum wanted, a jazz band playing at her funeral and at the reception afterwards. You were all very professional lovely people and I would recommend you every time, for all occasions, not just funerals. Once again thank you"

"Brian was so laid back and easy to work with. He has a long list of available music and recommended playlists, but I asked for a completely custom playlist within a few weeks of the wedding and he made it happen. He also played the jazz piano during the cocktail hour to create a bubbly ambiance without making it difficult for guests to talk and mingle. Everyone raved at how great he was! "

"The music which you and the band played last Saturday for our daughter Sally’s wedding was excellent and all our guests really appreciated your musicianship and the great atmosphere which you helped create. Thank you too for moving into the Marquee and playing during the meal – you were so helpful to us in all the arrangements. Please pass on our thanks to all the members of the band."

"Michelle's Birthday Party - excellent jazz band, very classy, perfect for the event in question. It's nice to see a band which does things so simply and professionally, providing a full sound with the minimum of equipment. They were happy to play to the room when people were eating and talking, at a volume which still allowed conversation, but were friendly and engaging as and when people wanted to interact with them. The singer they provide (if required) has a great voice, well matched to their style, no over-acting or dramatic self indulgence, just confident, strong and pitch perfect. Great day, thank you."

"We just wanted to drop you a quick line to thank the Stamford Stompers for a lovely afternoon on Saturday. The music was great and really made for a wonderful atmosphere in the gardens at Longstowe. We really loved having you during the reception and you made the day absolutely perfect. All our guests have said how great you were and we have had nothing but positive comments."

"The boys recently played our wedding and we are so so glad that we chose them. They are all three lovely people and they put in an absolute shift, really going above and beyond what we'd asked. Jelly Roll were such a wonderful addition to our day and they thoroughly deserved the absolutely enormous round of applause they got from every single guest on their way out. We'll absolutely be booking them again for our anniversary parties to come!"

"Dennis was so easy to work with! He is very friendly and knowledgeable. We hired him and his band for a backyard party and they did such a great job, we received many compliments. They also learned a new song just for the occasion!! Highly recommend Dennis and The Way Band!"

"10/10! Jazz Connection delivered an unforgettable performance. Their musicianship was top-notch, with every note full of energy and precision. They seamlessly blended classic jazz with modern vibes, keeping the audience captivated from start to finish. The chemistry between the band members was palpable, and their improvisations were nothing short of brilliant. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience the best in live jazz!"

"We had Michael and the Jelly Roll Jazz band play at our black tie wedding. It was the perfect balance of fun and sophistication. They even went to the extra effort of donning some lovely tuxedos. All the band were absolute gents and would highly recommend!"

"Thank you so much for providing such wonderful music for the party! Everyone has been saying what fun it was with your live music and it really set the scene. The pudding was a bit late but everyone was so happy listening to you. We especially appreciated the improvisation over the Gatsby film tunes which sounded amazing! It really made the party go with a swing."

"Good Co made our outdoor August wedding so magical. They were incredibly easy going and communicative and learned a couple request songs for us. They were great at reading the room, playing more subdued songs when people were eating and talking, and a great variety of more danceable songs towards the end of the evening. They even played the Hora on the spot when a Jewish relative of mine requested it. Guests were abuzz about how great the music was, and neighbors (we had a backyard wedding) who overheard sent notes about how much they loved the music. They were also very patient with some power issues that arose midway through dinner (and even kept playing for us!)"
