"We were absolutely over the moon with your service and performance at the Dulwich College 400 Anniversary Black & Blue ball. You all looked very smart, but Rock’n’Roll, in your black shirts and jeans; your setting up and help with the boys’ big band ( kindly letting them use your drum kit and amp) was seamless and last but not least, your sets were outstanding! The song choices were spot on, as you clearly know what gets everyone going. You may remember, we struggled to get the guests to leave the dance floor when the end of the evening was announced. If we hadn’t had to finish at a certain time, due to residential area and license, we would have had you play until daylight! We received many compliments, on your behalf, from guests’ feedback and will not hesitate in booking you again for any future parties. Sarah Pattinson The DC400Ball Committee Below, is a snippet from one of the guests: The band was outstanding (possibly one of the best I have ever heard at these dos) and I danced the rest of the night away – everyone on the dance floor wanted the band to continue when the plug got pulled! And another – The band was SO good, I spent the rest of the night boogie-ing away! The dance floor was rammed and everyone was having such a fantastic time."

"We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sax player for our wedding! From the very beginning, the communication was fantastic. He was friendly, responsive and organised, which made everything feel easy and stress-free in the lead up to the day. We were able to choose from a huge library of songs, which meant the music felt really personal to us and perfectly suited the vibe we wanted. On the day itself, the energy was incredible. Even though we had a relatively small number of guests, he absolutely brought the atmosphere and kept everyone engaged, dancing and smiling all night long. He read the room perfectly and knew exactly how to keep the momentum going. We’ve had so many guests tell us it was the most amazing time and the best wedding they’ve ever been to, and the music played such a huge part in that. We’re so grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to elevate their wedding day!"

"Just a quick message to say that I thought you were amazing on Saturday! You were everything that I could have hoped for and far exceeded my expectations, you really were excellent and I have had loads of texts’ off friends and family saying how much they enjoyed you and where did I find you! In all the weddings I have ever been to I have never seen a dance floor so full from start to finish and the song choices you made to play were spot on (sorry also for nagging for Sex on Fire!) but the wait was well worth it, I think you definitely kept the best until last!!! I know a few people took your details for future functions that they have!! I think you absolutely made the day for us and I could not recommend you highly enough!! I’ll keep a look out on your website for any future showcases that you do as I will make a huge effort to come and see you play again! Thanks once again for making our wedding day perfect!! "

"Fan Club Jazz Band were AWESOME! Really easy to communicate with prior to the event, they got the setlist perfect for our audience. It was my partners 30th and she loved it! The performance was incredible, the dance floor was packed, and the set up looked fantastic too. They were also super friendly and considerate whilst setting up/packing down. Five stars for sure, would definitely recommend."

"Was out for a walk in Kilkenny, heard the rhythmic tones on the street and was just sucked in. What a fantastically talented group."

"I am delighted to recommend Vincent Cassotta of Enfield CT in pursuit of his grant application for the Louis Armstrong Tribute with a Jazz Quartet performing at the Eli Whitney Elementary School. My previous role as the PK-12 Music Coordinator for the Enfield Public School District has brought me in direct contact with the professional, innovative, creative, and artistic musician and retired teacher Mr. Vincent Cassotta. I have witnessed first-hand the impact and quality of his quality music instruction provided for his thirty-nine years of teaching tenure in our community. To have the opportunity to bring the genre of American Jazz Music as a tribute to the legend of Louis Armstrong with quality professional musicians under Mr. Cassotta’s organization is a blessing to the young minds and ears of our elementary students, especially at a time when music education in Enfield offers less opportunities. This past Spring I had the opportunity to guest speak at Mr. Cassotta’s retirement party celebrating his many years of service in music education. In that speech I spoke about multiple areas beyond the collegial and professional relationship Mr. Cassotta, and I achieved since 1999. These in my opinion provide strong evidence for the Enfield Cultural Council to support this mission of this application fiscally. One of the points shared was that Mr. Cassotta balanced his career of music education and professional trumpet performing with incredible success throughout his career. Aside from the technical, logistical and time management responsibilities from such an endeavor, he achieved this success with never letting go of the care demonstrated to his students, family members, school building staff, and his music professional colleagues. The fact that he desires to continue to expand the music opportunities to students in Enfield now in his retirement resting years is evidence of his dedication to this art form and willingness to always educate. Furthermore Mr. Cassotta’s wealth of experience professionally as a performing musician and student of the trumpet is stellar. In his education Mr. Cassotta studied trumpet with Rolf Smedvig of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and Empire Brass Quintet, Jimm Maxwell a NYC Studio Musician, Roger Murtha of the Hartford Symphony and Hartt School of Music, and Dan Patrylak of the Eastman Brass Quintet and UCONN. To continue, Mr. Cassotta was a freelance performer with Frank Sinatra, Manhattan Transfer, Ella Fitzgerald, Bobby Vinton, Bob Hope, The Four Tops, Phil Woods, The Temptations, Sammy Davis Jr., Andy Williams, Franki Valli and the Jimmy and Tommy Dorsey Orchestra. Including numerous local and state pit orchestra’s and local well know jazz bands. He has also published works as a composer and arranger with KJOS music as well as multiple professional recordings. I strongly urge you to consider Mr. Cassotta’s application for this grant. Your support will help impact music education in Enfield and continue to make a meaningful impact on the lives of its students. Thank you for considering this recommendation. Sincerely, Mark F. Reppucci Jazz, Orchestra, Music Technology and Piano Teacher Enfield High School Write your tex"

"Johnny provided a beautiful backdrop for my father’s internment. He responded quickly and was very helpful in helping us pick music. On the day of the funeral he was in contact throughout the day. He showed up early in full regalia and was a calm, stoic presence for the entire event. The music -especially the walk off at the end - gave everyone several moments of quiet reflection that I will always cherish. My dad would have loved it. Cannot recommend highly enough."

"Gabriel is a wonderful tutor, I like his approach and understanding. I am an old person, and trying to review by myself was difficult. But when I started my lessons with him everything was different. He is patient , knowledgeable and focused. I am enjoying my lessons with him and looking forward for more ."

"Ho contattato Sonia Vettorato, per intrattenere i mie ospiti ( c.a 30 persone ) per una cena, per festeggiare un'importante anniversario. Con il suo pianoforte ci ha allietato, interpretando brani classici, leggeri, jazz e tanto altro. A lei va un ringraziamento particolare, per aver contribuito alla riuscita di una bellissima serata.

"We had 5 star for our evening reception at our wedding and Graham was just so fantastic, he made all our guests get up and dance and have such a great night. He was so friendly but professional and made the night run so smooth. The photos and video he made for us was just out of this world. We have had some amazing feedback and all our guests had a fab time. Thank you so so much again. Would highly recommend."

"With nothing special in High Wycombe I took the 102 airport bus to Uxbridge to see the So & So s a second time. A three-piece maybe but the sound set up is good......and the banter from the drummer is hilarious, inviting the audience to shout back sometimes. I reckon they would be well received in High Wycombe so I'm putting their business cards into a few venues. Wally Wombat, Sunday 1 March 2026"

"From day 1 Lewis was incrediblely professional and polite, as soon as we heard him play we 100% knew we wanted him to perform at our wedding and what a fabulous decision that was! He really sounded amazing and we had lots of positive comments from our guests! Thank you so much Lewis!"

"There is no doubt that a formula like that of Ever Wanted has an undisputed charm: the guitarist (usually acoustic) knows how to weave truly hypnotic arpeggios, while dealing with precise and minimal rhythms, on which the saxophonist (also a flautist) manages to create unique and bewitching atmospheres for Brian's dirty and sick voice, committed to making immortal masterpieces of international rock songs. Acoustic enough not to be noisy, original enough to never sound predictable, intelligent enough to have chosen an authorial but mostly very well-known repertoire, in short they were able to give a lulling and stimulating evening. My customers were enthusiastic, I'm goin' to call them again"
