Review Centre: 1930s Era Musicians & Bands

" Gary has done a few events for me as I am a club advisor to students in college. I would say he is all about performing arts, except for the fact that he is just as good with customer service, and interactions on a business level! If he says he'll do something, he follows through with absolute professionalism. Mr. Strickland has been a solo performer on the trumpet, a singer, an EMCEE, a set designer , a professional photographer and crowd pleaser. Should anything unexpected happen, he has the experience and sharp reactions to handle a burgeoning situation without a hitch. I wish I had the time to simply listen to Gary perform outside of the venues for which I have hired him. Maureen Vendeville Professor, ESL Faculty Advisor National Technical Honor Society"

"Good Co made our outdoor August wedding so magical. They were incredibly easy going and communicative and learned a couple request songs for us. They were great at reading the room, playing more subdued songs when people were eating and talking, and a great variety of more danceable songs towards the end of the evening. They even played the Hora on the spot when a Jewish relative of mine requested it. Guests were abuzz about how great the music was, and neighbors (we had a backyard wedding) who overheard sent notes about how much they loved the music. They were also very patient with some power issues that arose midway through dinner (and even kept playing for us!)"

"We have had the Sparrow of Paris play a number of times in our performing programme that we deliver into Guy’s and St Thomas’ hospitals, playing for patients staff and visitors. They bring a charm and unique blend of music and song to our hospital audience and their sensitivity and friendliness is always welcome."

"Mindy and her combo, made our wedding celebration unique and complete. Mindy, your vibrant rich voice is like "HOME" to me. The tasteful accompaniment layered our party with the perfect background and foreground for the event. Your fantabulous taste and style trickles down into your music. You have a flair for knowing exactly what is right and what is needed. Your jazz combo made the evening a totally memorable and romantic evening for Terry, me and my party for 100 people to celebrate our wedding. You played exactly what everyone needed and wanted to hear. Bless you two for adding to a day we will never forget. Love, Terry and Lauren Bogos Schoneberg."

"Thank you so much for an amazing musical display; you and your Great Gatsby band were the icing on the cake! Everyone loved you and thought you were fantastic. Mark and I and the kids want to thank you all for the wonderful music and atmosphere you created on the night. The event would not have been the same without you. Just made the party start with a bang and we could not have been happier. I can’t thank you enough and would highly recommend you. You were all brilliant."

"I saw Almaz at the Nantwich Food Festival and was incredibly impressed with the vocals and general musicianship. Loved the sound of the old Gibson guitar, such a sweet sound, never managed to get that sound out of any of mine. A great performance."

"What a night! I booked Noa as a surprise for my partner’s birthday. The organisation was easy, the event was amazing and everything was seamless. Noa is an incredibly talented singer and the backing musicians that joined Noa were amazing and all joined in the spirit of the party. I will definitely book Noa again and would recommend her without reservation."

"Blown away! Absolutely perfect accompaniment to our wedding breakfast. The feedback from guests was amazing. And a bonus point for playing a specific song that I requested which wasn't jazz or the style they usually do. Highly recommended, you won't be disappointed. Thanks Jack & Shannon"

"Love these guys. They were recommended by my daughter's singing teacher and were the icing on the cake. I loved their repertoire .Sleeky sultry smooth cool jazz played unobtrusively whilst we all basked in the sunshine. Hetty has a lovely range ably supported by Miguel on guitar and Stephanie on saxophone. I have no hesitation in recommending them .Wishing you every success !!"
