Review Centre: 1950s Era Musicians & Bands

"Thank you once again for making my father’s birthday party such a great success. Having the party on a boat made for slightly more difficult logistics but your professional yet flexible and enthusiastic approach to the situation really helped. On arrival you quickly tuned into the nature and tone of the event and your personality and sense of fun charmed everyone. You play the accordion wonderfully and is the perfect accompaniment to your beautiful voice transporting us all to a timeless Left Bank cafe in Paris. As you know, my father was enchanted by you. He said that you were the absolute highlight of the party. And that’s the first time I can remember dancing with my mum! "

"What can I say? Simply fantastic. Spot-on entertainment that kept the dance-floor packed from beginning to end. Your team’s professionalism shone out on the day by a country mile and they’re the kind of standards i love and expect! The band was absolutely fantastic. The set up, look and standard of music was second to none and the many comments we received back from our guests reflected this. The vocals from your lead singer were simply stunning. Also, the accompanying disco that you provided for us was absolutely fantastic too and together with the band it made for perfect wedding entertainment. I would have no hesitation in recommending your services. Thanks again and should the opportunity arise I hope to book you again one day."

"Cara has the most beautiful voice. Such a wonderfully, talented young lady. Performed at our Son's wedding last year, A Whole New World and Somewhere Over The Rainbow. Both totally amazing. Thank you Cara xxx"

"A brilliant singer song writer who brings joy to everyone This brilliant young jazz singer excellently brought joy to the audience with a great manner and etiquette. While songs were greatly presented, the best part was he accepted song requests from audiences (he doesn't even need to look at the music; professional). If you look for a jazz band with a great singer for corporate events or some special moments with live music, you won't regret calling John."

"Noa and her group performed in All Saints Church for the May Merrie festival. Dozens of people who had come in for refreshments or as customers for the craft fair stood or sat in amazement for around an hour as they listened to classic jazz numbers beautifully sung to a great accompanying group.They couldn't get enough. Go a long way to listen to these great musicians."

"A huge thank-you for your fantastic performance at our wedding. Everyone thought you were brilliant and have been talking of nothing else! We had a perfect day and you were a big reason for that. The disco was spot on too; ’Not one dud’ as someone was heard to shriek!"

"I am writing to recommend Styliannie. She worked with us at Mare Village Ayia Napa, Cyprus as a vocalist and band member for seasons 2023/2024/2025 and reported to me in my position as Group Entertainments Manager for Wavemaker Hospitality in Cyprus. As a performer she was always conscientious and reliable. Her vocal abilities and range are fantastic and her stage presence is immense. She can deliver a whole range of different styles and had a great repertoire. I have always put a premium on integrity among my musicians and she never failed to deliver. Styliannie is a delight to work with and I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again."

"Thank you all so much for such a fantastic evening on Saturday! The feedback has been unbelievable - everyone loved the evening and especially the band. Your voice has been commented on by many and lots of people are saying we must get them again! Whether that will be jazz / jive or 60s/70s, I don't know...but I will get back to you when the time is right. The selection you chose for the 2 sets was perfect - the first allowing people to chat and the second winding up the tempo for a dance. We have never seen so many people dancing in the Hall and - of all ages. So, very well done to you all and lots of thanks."

"Thank you both for bringing such a special part of our wedding to life. The live music was integral to our ceremony and Alice & Friends elevated the event. They brought in a special magic which extended to the reception afterwards. They set the mood perfectly and provided a fantastic atmosphere to make people feel lively!"

"We were very impressed with Jack Abbey's professionalism. He has a lovely voice, plays the guitar very well and he didn't turn the volume up so loud that our guests couldn't hear each other talking - just perfect. Jack sang songs which we requested when we originally booked him - which were Country & Western / 50's /60's & 70's songs. They went down a treat with everyone being of our era. We had lots of people saying how good he was and how they enjoyed listening to him. Thank You Jack. XX"
