"Tony entertained us all at our St Valentines Dinner Dance. He was without doubt the best singer we have had. He tailored his music for our group of senior golfers and wives at Nuneaton Golf Club. BOOK HIM NOW, you will not regret it!"

"The three-piece jazz band that graced our Holiday Soiree on Friday night delivered a truly memorable performance. Their skilful interplay and smooth transitions between classic jazz standards and festive favourites set the perfect tone for the evening. A true highlight of the evening, the jazz trio added a sophisticated yet joyful touch, making the holiday soiree a resounding success. We would highly recommend them for any event seeking a blend of elegance and entertainment."

"After the first night, we were hooked! We went back for three more shows. Maybe one of the most engaging entertainers involved with luxury travel. Highly recommend seeing him if you have the opportunity!"

"Marino and his band is absolutely fantastic. If you are looking for a band to play at your wedding look no further. Everybody had a great time and Marinos band just made our wedding perfect. We loved the songs and we had a great time dancing. It was also very nice to have Marinos band playing live music at our ceremony. Thank you again Marino! We will never forget the great time we had with you and your band at our wedding. Greetings to Rome, Benedikt & Laureen"

"Fai was the right choice for our event. Not only children enjoyed his singing, and were strumming the guitar with him, also the grownups were enjoying his collection of old and new songs. He sings in 3 languages, with a nice smile and positive energy."

"Davina did a great job at creating the right atmosphere for us and our guests, relaxed and yet entertaining and charming. We really appreciated her care for details and her fast communication - she is totally independent in what she does from the beginning to the end of the event. Super professional, and what a beautiful voice! Thank you!"

"You might expect an album with edgy, teal-lit cover art and the title of The Isolation Blues, by the Mike Goudreau Band, to be either dark and brooding or a real barroom stomper, showcasing the loudest guitar you’ve heard since Jimi Hendrix’s. Instead, from the first notes, you’ll find it’s a peppy ensemble extravaganza with horns galore. More’s the better, too – the Winter Solstice is coming up, and we need an eye-opening blast of sunshine in the middle of it. Smooth, jazzy-influenced, and boasting crystal-clear vocals, it’s a must-play on New Year’s Eve. Born in 1965 in Newport, Vermont, into a musical family with an English mother and a French-Canadian father, Mike Goudreau picked up his first guitar at age 14 and hasn’t stopped playing since. His early influences included the Beatles, Chuck Berry, Rolling Stones, Johnny Cash, Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, and later, Albert King, Freddie King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Powder Blues and Downchild – to name a few. Such diverse interests help to explain why Mike is comfortable in so many musical genres, especially jazz and blues. Since 2007, Mike’s songs have been heard on hundreds of network TV shows and films, such as the TV movie The Happiest Season (Hulu), Dynasty (CBS), the Universal Pictures film Dark Waters, the Hollywood film The Banker, starring Samuel Jackson (2020), The Neighborhood (CBS), NCIS Los Angeles (CBS), and Chicago PD (NBC), among several others. Joining Mr. Goudreau (vocals, guitars, bass and hand claps) are Jean-Francois Begin (think Menachem Begin, not “begin”) on drums and percussion, Dany Roy on tenor sax and trumpet, Ira Friedman on organ and piano, and Pascal Veilette on harmonica. You know all the shows and films mentioned earlier? Together, they spell diamond-level QUALITY. That’s what’s been poured into each of the fourteen original tracks on this CD. Every note, every musical phrase, glimmers like the light off one of that gem’s many facets. This is real-deal blues, whether in swing/jump form (as on the opener “Let’s Go Down to the River”), the angsty, harmonica-infused title track, the guitar and piano boogie known as “The Mooch,” or the laid-back instrumental “Sea Breeze Blues.” Any band can crank out an album in their garage or basement and deem it good enough, but not Goudreau and his posse. They care about their offerings like Michelangelo cared about David, or Da Vinci the Mona Lisa. That’s because they’re not just musicians. Not just craftsmen. They’re artists, and don’t you forget it. Got The Isolation Blues? Here’s the cure, or at least the vaccine! "

"Andrè Fischer is an absolutely outstanding musician! His talent, passion, and stage presence are truly captivating. Every performance feels heartfelt and authentic, showcasing not only his technical skill but also deep emotion. His music connects with his audience in such a powerful way — you can tell he genuinely loves what he does. His voice and instrumental skills were flawless, and the sound quality was top-notch. It’s rare to see such a perfect blend of passion, professionalism, and pure talent. I can’t wait to see him perform again! A professional through and through, and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended! Andre ONGELOOFLIK DANKIE!!!!! Groete Maryke"
