"Whilst attending a surprise birthday party, the surprises kept coming as m-SAX was one of the surprises, which made the night even more fantastic. Having a saxophonist playing in the room, gave that buzz energy and people couldn't help but dance."

"It's been 5 years since the big day at Nádasdy Castle, but we haven't regretted for a single minute that you photographed it. Anytime the pictures come out, it's good to look at them. There are no artificial settings, no forced smiles, just us and the atmosphere. We can't be grateful enough! 🙂 Best regards: Andi and Gábor"

"Star attraction on reopening night at The Lamb, Bicester. The venue is a clever mix of sports bar, diner and nightclub recently upgraded. The Razorz had the place rocking with their driving rhythms and wide choice of rock music. Crocodile rock was a stand out number filling the dance floor and encouraging others to join in. A very professional and high quality band."

"Bistek Toe's DJ set performance was nothing short of electrifying. From start to finish, he masterfully commanded the dance floor with his unique blend of electro cumbia and vibrant rhythms. The energy in the room was palpable as Bistek Toe seamlessly mixed traditional Colombian cumbia sounds with contemporary electronic beats, creating an infectious groove that had everyone moving. One of the most impressive aspects of Bistek Toe's performance was his ability to read the crowd and keep the momentum going throughout the night. Whether he was dropping bass-heavy bangers or introducing subtle, melodic transitions, he had a knack for keeping the audience engaged and entertained. The atmosphere he created was nothing short of magical, with pulsating beats and hypnotic melodies filling the air. It was clear that Bistek Toe's passion for music shone through in every track he played, and the crowd responded with enthusiasm and energy. Overall, Bistek Toe's DJ set was a testament to his talent and skill as a musician. He effortlessly blended genres and styles to create a truly unique and unforgettable experience for everyone in attendance. If you ever have the chance to catch Bistek Toe live in action, don't hesitate – it's an experience you won't soon forget."

"We had the absolute pleasure of having The Beer Mats play for my brothers wedding in Tipperary! We did a flyby trip to see them perform in Howth (from the UK) beforehand and knew they would be spot on for the wedding. We couldn't have asked for a better performance on the big day, from the moment they starting playing, they had everyone up on their feet - young, old, Irish and not so Irish! They played traditional and classic sing/dance along songs and even covered a few country songs as requested for the first dance and more! All the guys are down to earth and easy to work with, they kept the craic going all night and I'm not sure the guests feet will ever recover! If your looking to hire an Irish band, I cannot recommend these guys enough! Thank s so much guys, The Rawlings family"

"Stephen was patient with me as I was planning a memorial service for my father. I changed my mind a couple of times and Stephen just rolled with the changes. He met my wife for a rehearsal session and then nailed the performance during the ceremony. Stephen also provided some lovely and background and mood music prior to the service and jumped-in with musical accompaniment during the congregational hymns."

"Victor of Hampton Pipes & Drums was a pleasure to deal with in preparing for the event. He was the an unforgettable addition to my niece's wedding ceremony and he set a wonderful backdrop to an already magical day. Many thanks to him and his gift of music. I highly recommend Hampton Pipes & Drums for your event. P.S. Friends of mine also hired Hampton Pipes & Drums for a 60th birthday party - also a great success!"

"These guys were absolutely amazing. In the lead up to the wedding, they went out of their way to practice a new song for our ceremony, and it meant so much to us that they did this. Andre's communication was brilliant and he was so patient with all my questions! Walking down the aisle to live music (singer and acoustic guitar) was my dream and this moment was so special and beautiful. The full band then played their set later in the evening. And WOW!!! They were incredible!! All our guests were amazed with how great they were and the atmosphere they created. I wish we could do it all again! We kept changing our mind about getting a band, but we are so so so happy we went with Sugaland. Amazing group of people and brilliant entertainers. Do not think twice - get them booked!! We love you guys."

"It began as a Swing Band project, in the winter of 2005, in Oswego, NY, where Rick met Evan Dobbins, and put together a ten-piece swing band, to play occasional concerts, and private parties. Evan was to contract and Rick would be in charge of music when, the band played five, or six-events, and Rick had the idea, they would not only play swing music, but play modern jazz. Thus, ''The Little Big Band'', and ''Uptown Society Orchestra'' were formed. In 2006, the band released their first disc, entitled “In Times Shadow”, which was a mainstream release on Blue Jazz. It received wide critical acclaim, prompting Ollie Bivins in LA to say: “Rick Holland (Trumpet) and Evan Dobbins (Trombone) lead a group of New York area musicians, who could give the more well-known big bands in New York and Los Angelas a run for their money, and as part of the the Blue jazz label, a label that promotes and distributes jazz musician’s albums. this big band is taking its destiny into it’s own hands rather than wait to be “discovered” by the major labels. More power to this label and all others who do the same. Lovers of Big Band music, especially, will like the Rick Holland-Evan Dobbins Little Big Band’s refreshing recording.” Doug Collar in East Lansing, Mi said this....''I have just played “In Time’s Shadow” the new CD from the Rick Holland-Evan Dobbins Little Big Band. What a disc! What a sound! What an ensemble! This disc is my top nomination for jazz ensemble release of the year. The arranging is nonpareil and the soloists masterful. The whole package is varied, listenable, and leaves the audience asking for more. Rick Holland and Evan Dobbins have created a musical experience that our listeners will absorb and enjoy.'' After the release of this disc, the band landed their first steady gig at Tasteology, every Monday night. The gig lasted 2 years, as the bands repertoire grew. The band then moved over to the Loving Cup, in Henrietta, New York. They played on Sunday nights, this gig lasted 3 years. This led to the band 2nd recording, “Trilby”, in 2011. Some of the review was just marvelous. For example: Throughout Trilby, the Rick Holland-Evan Dobbins Little Big Band plays on the level of most better-known ensembles, performing music that is inventive, full of life and fun. Their CD is highly recommended.-Scott Yanow, author of ten books including The Jazz Singers, The LA Times What a surprise! This band and musicians were unknown to me, but they are absolutely great! For listeners to hear musicians challenge themselves, and be taken along for the ride, records like this are a must! The musicians in the Rick Holland-Evan Dobbins Little Big Band are all reaching the high musical standards realized by playing in this excellent Little Big Band! This music will be featured in my playlists for many months to come. Thank you again for sending this exceptional CD to me. Peter Kuller - Jazz Presenter Radio Adelaide 101.5 FM, and www.radio.adelaide.edu.au JPL "Jazz from Down Under". The liner notes inform us that this ensemble started as a swinging dance band in 2005. Since then, they've evolved into a solid, well-arranged outfit with first rate solos played by intriguing, skilled jazz cats. The feeling I derived from the CD was similar to a classic Blue Note session. You know, several well-written originals that are melodically strong, and a few standards to test the players' chops on familiar material. The co-leaders play flugelhorn and trombone, respectively. Most of the arrangements come from pianist Bill Dobbins, who allows plenty of room for free-swinging solo work. The familiar vehicles here include Benny Golson's "Stablemates" and Sonny Stitt's "Eternal Triangle." I also spotted a tune called "Rich's Call" by Kerry Strayer, a baritone player of the highest stripe, and a skilled composer and arranger as well. It is interesting to note three compositions from jazz harmonica whiz, Hendrik Meurkens. Perhaps, he has some connection to the band. Finally, it should be said that this session is directed straight down the middle of the bop highway. Simply an outstanding blowing session on songs that, amazingly enough, sound like songs! Wow! What a Surprise! "
