"Nice to meet you at The Milton Rooms on Saturday night. Everyone enjoyed the evening. I loved all your sets. Love that Swing era music and the songs. You can dance ballroom and latin to almost all of them. So, thanks to everyone in the band and I hope to see/hear you again sometime. Good luck and take care! All the Best."

"It starts with hum, then a toe-tap and before you know it you are singing along to the tunes that you know so well. But what’s better, a night with the La Dolce Vita Swing Collective introduces you to new arrangements of those popular songs with an Italian-esque twist – as well as showcasing a selection that won’t be so familiar. The five-piece swing/jazz band – featuring piano, bass, sax, drums and vocals with those specially designed new arrangements – pays homage to likes of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Tony Bennett and other Rat Pack favourites. Vocalist Tony Delicata put together the band with a collection of musicians from Edinburgh and Blairgowrie whose previous talents range from West End musicals to The Jools Holland Band. Tony’s powerful vocals on the likes of ‘I’ve got you under my skin’ and ‘Nice and Easy’ starting to carry the audience. ‘Come Prima’ and ‘O Sole Mio’ gave us the first real feel of the Italian influence. But it was after the interval that the Collective – and the audience – found their stride. The timeless – and age-less – appeal of the Rat Park tunes soon had the crowd moving from humming along and a foot-tapping, to full on sing-a-long mode as the band ripped through classics such as ‘Come fly with me’, ‘King of the Road’, ‘That’s Amore’ and ‘Volare’. By the time of the closing numbers of the near two-hour long show, ‘La Dolce Vita’ and (of course) ’New York New York’, the crowd was sold. It really does show that it does mean a thing, when it does have that swing. "

"Thank you and the band so much for providing the music to our wedding last night. As I’m sure you’d expect, very many of our guests expressed their admiration of your performance. However, we’d heard you before and knew what to expect. Notwithstanding, your wedding swing band over-delivered on our expectations and we had an absolutely fantastic evening of music and dance thanks to you and you colleagues. We were genuinely delighted with your delivery and the way you made the party swing. Again, thank you, and we look forward to seeing you again at your public performances."

"Barry sang at our wedding reception and gave the whole evening the exact vibe we wanted to remember forever. All of our family and friends loved it. He adds a whole classy dynamic to the ambience. Barry was perfect for our evening. Rachelle Summers"

"Dagmar and her accompanist are the real deal. While deciding who to hire I watched her videos on here performing to larger crowds but we hired her to perform for just nine people prior to a dinner party and they did not disappoint. Dagmar's inimitable sultry vocals as well as her repertoire are perfect for this genre of music and her professional playful nature was felt by everyone. Her piano player was truly transcendent providing intervals of technique and skill you don't often find with accompanist. They also were very accommodating with song selection and timing during the evening. We all loved them!"

Dear Mark, Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words. Reading your review truly made our day. It was an absolute pleasure and an honor to perform for such a special celebration. Even though it was an intimate gathering, we felt an amazing connection with all of you, and that's exactly what live music is about for us: creating meaningful moments that people will remember. Your appreciation for both my singing and Michele's piano playing means more than you can imagine. We always strive to make each performance personal and memorable, so knowing that you enjoyed the repertoire, the atmosphere, and the overall experience is the greatest compliment we could receive. Thank you again for trusting us with such an important occasion. We wish you and your friends many more years of happiness, love, and beautiful celebrations together. We hope our paths will cross again someday! With gratitude, Dagmar & Michele

"Dan and his band was amazing I threw my wife a surprise 10 year cancer remission party and found Dan Olivo on GigSalad. Soon as I talked to him I knew he was the right person for this special event. He definitely provided a memorable night and was the highlight of the party. I would recommend him without any reservations and can't wait to see him perform again."

"I have worked with Tom for a while now, both as a crooner, recording covers (sometimes better than the original) and a solo original artist recording his own music. His voice blew us away the very first time we heard it. With a fantastic talent and a firm, 'head screwed on' type manner that he brings to all aspects of his work, he really is a treat to work with. He is professional, always smartly dressed, talented, but above all, a fantastic character to work with. A genuinely nice guy. I look forward to seeing what the future brings for the fantastic Tom Fitzpatrick."

"Blue Moon Jazz Band were absolutely wonderful and wonderful to work with! They played music for the welcome party for our wedding and were fantastic from start to finish. They perfectly matched the mood and setting of our event, playing a range of songs. The band and singer are all very talented and really impressed our guests. They kept telling us how much they loved the music! On top of all that, the band was very easy to work with. Raphael was friendly and responsive leading up to the event, answering all our questions. They coordinated with our venue to set everything up ahead of time. They were all lovely to work with, understood the vibe, and didn’t require much guidance to create the perfect atmosphere. Everyone loved the music. We would highly recommend them to anyone! Thank you for such a lovely evening! "

"We cannot recommend Kevin and the team at TIBI Events highly enough! From our very first email exchange with Kevin, we knew we wanted him to be part of our wedding. Kevin was incredibly professional from start to finish. He took the time to help us plan our music, offered valuable advice on what would work best, and made the whole process feel easy and stress-free. His experience and guidance were invaluable. On the day itself, the musicians were absolutely fantastic. They created the perfect atmosphere for both our ceremony and cocktail hour, and so many of our guests commented on how amazing they were. The effort and care they put into every performance made our day feel even more special. One thing that was really important to us when choosing our wedding suppliers was finding people we genuinely clicked with, and Kevin was exactly that. He was so friendly, approachable, and easy to work with, making us feel completely comfortable throughout the entire process. If you're considering TIBI Events for your wedding, don't hesitate, you'll be in the best hands. THANK YOU for helping make our wedding day so unforgettable!"

"We were delighted with Raphael and the Blue Moon Jazz Band who provided a wonderful soundtrack for our wedding reception at the Hotel Kolbe in Rome less than two weeks ago. The band played during the aperitivo and then again after dinner when they were joined by their fantastic singer. We loved their sound and wished they could have played longer. As one of my dearest friends said, whose brother is a jazz musician, when the band was playing it was more like being at a concert than “only” listening to background music. Raphael was always very prompt in all his replies and as kind and considerate as possible, while the musicians as a whole, including the singer, impressed us all with the quality of their sound. All our guests remarked on how wonderful the band was, including our younger guests who greatly enjoyed dancing away at jazz pieces they would not normally listen to, as well as the jazz buffs amongst us of which there were many. We would not hesitate to contact the band again for future events and therefore would also wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone else! Thank you for a beautiful jazzy evening… Enrica and Rombout"

"Tracy has sung for me at a number of venues I have managed. Most recently she entertained with her Miss Swing theme. Was amazing, all our guests thoroughly enjoyed their Sunday afternoon and have been left waiting for more of Tracy later in the year. So accommodating to this new venture, I cannot recommend enough, get booking!"
