Review Centre: 1940s Era Musicians & Bands

"Made my birthday extra special! This Band really played well together and sounded great! They played all of the pieces I had requested earlier, arrived on time and guests commented how much they'd enjoyed the sets. Wouldn't hesitate to book this band again ..."

"We and our guests have enjoyed your performance very much. I myself but also the other musicians among our guests were impressed by the quality of your playing but also your enthusiasm was experienced as very positive. You have played magnificently to our needs and contributed significantly to the success of our party evening. Next time we hope that you can be there again!"

"We had an amazing experience with Marino and his band! after two emails we were all set and they delivered fantastic music and atmosphere to our wedding. We had to relocate half-way, but the band just took 10 minutes, and was playing again, despite the change of plans. I asked beforehand if the band could play a bit of jazz standards during our aperitivo and this they did exceptionally great! The dance floor was full after dinner and everyone enjoyed! Great repetoire and nice people!"

"Fleur sang at our wedding this month and she was awesome. She sang me down the aisle - Etta James' 'At Last' and it was absolutely perfect. It was a beautiful way to kick off our wedding and all of the guests commented about how amazing Fleur's voice is. After the ceremony Fleur played at our afternoon reception, accompanied by her brilliant pianist. It was a lovely atmosphere and lots of the guests were joining in with the songs. I loved every minute of it. Fleur's voice sends shivers down your spine and she sang some of my favourite tunes. She puts her own spin on the songs and this is why I wanted her to play at our wedding. I would highly recommend Fleur; she adds that little something different, perfect and unique."

"Gli "Uke Swing" hanno suonato al nostro matrimonio, sono degli ottimi musicisti (oltre che persone molto simpatiche), con un ampio ed originale repertorio musicale, davvero capaci di coinvolgere e divertire tutto il pubblico degli invitati. Consigliatissimi! Alberto e Rosa"

"Beauty Shop Dolls did a spectacular performance for my daughters wedding. They are talented and professional with beautiful voices. They dance, sing, entertain, do it all. We even got a little 1920s dance lesson. Really made the atmosphere memorable because it's not the usual DJ you expect at a wedding. Everyone enjoyed it from the little ones to us older folk."

"Well hello, it’s Larry Richmond back on the entertainment scene, and so good to be attending live entertainment again. On Sunday 20th February I attended the Pheasantry in Chelsea, to see Lorraine & The Flames. This gig was produced by Aspects Productions and presented in association with Pizza Express Live. I had previously seen the band’s showreel and was looking forward to seeing them live on stage. The Pheasantry is one of London’s top two cabaret rooms. I arrived well in time to order a meal and a bottle of wine. The show started at 8.00 pm. The venue was full. After an introduction by the compere, Lorraine looking stunningly elegant in her long glittering dress entered the room from the above stage balcony and slowly descended the stairway singing her opening song. Throughout the 90 min show, consisting of two 45 min sets, Lorraine backed by her excellent band of piano, bass, drums, and guitar, gave us the best of the American songbook in a relaxed and stylish style which was a joy to hear and see. I understand that Lorraine Heavey was a successful professional performer in her native Ireland during the early part of her career, and then gave up performing to marry and start a family. How glad I am that this talented lady has decided to return to her showbiz career and is now performing again. Lorraine Heavey has that certain element that we call ‘star’ quality. I hear through the grapevine that Lorraine and The Flames will be performing again at the Pheasantry later this year on the 6th Sept and at another of London’s top cabaret rooms, The Crazy Coqs, on the 3rd of October. I for one look forward to seeing her on stage again. Larry Richmond Entertainment Reviewer February 2023 "

"Kars and his band were the perfect backdrop to a very successful evening. The band arrived right on time. The setup was flawless. Wonderful easy-listening jazz followed by a sultry Bossa Nova evening. The quality was excellent and everything was very stylish. Highly recommended."
