"It was such a delight to have the wonderful Keziah perform for us at The George Payne as part of out VE Day Commemorations, and suffice to say, we were all absolutely blown away! To say Keziah understood the assignment would be a drastic understatement. From her fabulous vintage style dress to her timeless hair and make-up, Keziah knew exactly how to immerse her audience in the most effortless and professional way. All of this is second to her stunning voice, which captivated staff and customers alike. While we chose to work with Keziah for our 1940s theme, we are keen to have her back for another performance in the future. Thank you Keziah, we look forward to having you again!"

"Review received on 8/7/2025 Best of the best! We can’t say enough great things about Blue Jersey Band! Our residents absolutely loved them—their energy, enthusiasm, and friendly nature truly made the event special. This dynamic duo went above and beyond to make sure everyone was having a great time, engaging with residents and working hard behind the scenes to ensure everything ran smoothly. Their dedication and positive attitude didn’t go unnoticed, and we’ve already received so many compliments thanks to their efforts. We would welcome them back in a heartbeat!

"Harry has played for us on many occasions. From the very first note he literally captivates his audience and people gather to hear more. He encompassed a variety of musical styles and is just so talented and versatile. Harry has helped us with several fundraising events and we know that if he is playing the event will be successful. He is such a delight work with and we just love his enthusiasm and the joy his music brings to so many"

"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 "

"Just FM played us down the aisle at our wedding and then performed for two hours whilst we had antipasti and drinks in Assisi, Umbria. They were an absolute joy from start to finish. The music was fantastic and their interactions with my wife and I and all of our guests was just so wonderful. At one point I looked over and they were playing to and dancing with a big crowd of our guests, at another moment they were serenading my wife and I, and when we were introduced to dinner they played in and around our tables as we danced and took photos with our tables. I cannot tell you how happy just FM made us all and how extra special they made our day. They are truly amazing musicians and charming, dapper gentlemen. Thank you Just FM, we loved it and wish we could go back in time to experience it all again! "

"I cannot talk highly enough of Cara! She has the most pure, wonderful, insanely professional voice I have ever heard! Every song she sings is unbelievably amazing! So much so that guests at the parties he has performed at have said... Is that actually her real voice coming out of her ACTUAL mouth"

"“The men gave us an unforgettable jazzy afternoon - Clear approach regarding the orchestra setup, repertoire, costs, and point of contact - Musicians are of North Sea Jazz level, but unlike there, they really know how to capture the party atmosphere - Success guaranteed”"

"This time, Marcia Bamberg Swing Quartet was our guest at our special concert stage. Their passion and warmth radiated from the small stage. The audience was close to the Quartet, which created a direct and almost personal experience. It felt like a living room concert, but with a great professional performance that you would expect at a larger venue. From the beginning to the last applause, it was an impressive performance, in which both quiet, atmospheric ballads and rhythmic numbers were alternated. Marcia's beautiful voice that combined wonderfully with the sounds of the guitars and double bass. The quartet not only knows how to shine musically, but also the contact with the audience is special! They bring an evening-filling program full of beautiful numbers and moments of interaction, which create an intimate and cozy atmosphere. What an honor to receive you. Thank you!"
