"An atmospheric and Christmassy decorated theatre café forms the setting for this year's Yes Jazz Christmas Matinée. It is pleasantly busy. Many music lovers choose the warmth of the Yes Jazz theatre café of De Hofnar on this cold Sunday afternoon. Gipsy jazz is popular and Christmas music always goes down well. When these two come together, you can of course count on a special afternoon. And that is what it will be. The music is beautiful. A beautiful singer and three excellent musicians ensure a beautiful Christmas Matinée. This quartet clearly shows that many different types of music can be cast in the mould of the gipsy style. Django Reinhardt resonates in everything. The tight foundation is audible in Ronald Weel's rhythm guitar and on Daniël Gueli's double bass. You can build on this. The solo guitar and the singer provide the leading parts. Marcia Bamberg stands out because of her clear voice: crystal clear and velvety soft where necessary. The improvisations of the solo guitarist, John Lighart, are smooth and inventive. Sometimes very virtuoso. The repertoire is especially very versatile. From French chansons to well-known jazz standards. Of course, the big Christmas hits are not missing. Night and Day, After you’ve gone, but also Belle Histoire and La vie en rose come in beautiful arrangements from the Yes Jazz stage. Christmas has started well! "

"I recently had the pleasure of hiring this group for a corporate event, and from the moment they took the stage, they created a very elegant and refined atmosphere providing the perfect background music for our dinner. Their energy was incisive but never aggressive, allowing all the guests to enjoy the conversation. Each band member was not only talented but also very kind and flexible. Their professionalism throughout the planning process and during the event was top-notch. I highly recommend them for any event."

"The Jazz Kings, consistently deliver exceptional jazz and blues performances that captivate audiences. Their musical prowess, combined with their light-hearted humour, creates an unforgettable and highly entertaining experience. I have personally witnessed The Jazz Kings' ability to engage and mesmerize audiences with their repertoire of standard jazz and blues classics, as well as their unique arrangements and original compositions. Their dedication to preserving the essence of these genres while infusing their artistic interpretations showcases their extraordinary talent and musicianship. Moreover, The Jazz Kings' collaboration with the resident guest vocalist Nicole Parker-Brown adds depth and versatility to their performances. Nicole's stunning vocals seamlessly blend with the band's instrumental prowess, creating a harmonious and captivating musical experience."

"Lorraine Heavey is a star. It’s just as simple as that!! Having done 25 years in TV news I know a star when I see one. There is an expression for on-air talent who completely control the viewer’s attention — ‘she eats the camera’. She is that talent. She is enchanting. I wish her such good fortune as she takes London by storm. "

"Ο Στέφανος και η παρέα του είναι απίστευτοι! Εξαιρετικοί μουσικοί, κάνουν πολύ κέφι, και έχουν μεγάλο ρεπερτόριο για όλα τα γούστα. Μας προσέφεραν μια υπέροχη βραδιά γεμάτη χορό και μελωδίες. Πραγματικοί επαγγελματίες και καλλιτέχνες! Τους συνιστώ ανεπιφύλακτα!"

"I was searching for a jazz band for a luxury event I planned in Amsterdam and came across Bijou Trio, what an incredible find! Out of all the entertainment companies I contacted, they were the first to respond (within hours!), and their pricing was by far the most competitive. When the event day came, they exceeded every expectation. Impeccably presented, charming, and professional, these 3 young men brought the atmosphere and true artistry to the event. Their performance was elegant, polished, and musically outstanding. I later found out they are formally trained musicians with a university background in music and it shows. Highly recommended for anyone looking for world-class jazz with genuine soul and sophistication."
