"Cheryl was an absolute joy to work with. I was looking for someone to surprise my husband for his birthday party and she was everything I was hoping for. She really added that extra special element while being very unobtrusive at the same time. I would recommend her highly."

"Davina did a great job at creating the right atmosphere for us and our guests, relaxed and yet entertaining and charming. We really appreciated her care for details and her fast communication - she is totally independent in what she does from the beginning to the end of the event. Super professional, and what a beautiful voice! Thank you!"

"The voice (rich and nuanced and dramatic) belongs to Michael Calvoni... who makes us sink into our seats, confident that we are in good hands."

" All Music Review Thom Jurek The title of this set is an apt one. While much of the music presented by the Rick Holland-Evan Dobbins Little Big Band, it hearkens back -- in terms of its sophistication, confidence and outright jazz literacy, not nostalgically -- to an era when progressive jazz, and big bands (this one numbering 10 pieces) flourished on the scene. This is one sophisticated outfit. Featuring the arrangement and compositional skills of Brent Wallarab, Jim Martin, Bill Dobbins and Kerry Strayer, this band struts out the tradition and make some joyous, complex, and elegant music that reflects its own unique identity. The résumés of all these players are impressive and reflected in the confidence of the date. It opens with "SUNY-Triangle," a Martin composition that works its artful sleight-of-hand over Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Triste." Martin uses the rhythmically complex samba and drapes some tough, knotty twists and turns over it. The intro is a beautiful and raucous wake-up call, while the head of the tune, with its staggered entrances and exits -- including some fine soloing by John Viavattine on tenor and John Nyerges on piano -- give this tune a unique identity. "Creature Comfort" is a beautiful mid-tempo ballad by Wallarab with edgeless yet multi-dimensional dissonances written into its harmonics. It swings beautifully and includes a fine, punchy solo by tenorman Glenn Cashman. Besides the originals, there are some fine readings here as well. There's Wallarab's arrangement of Duke Ellington's "Black and Tan Fantasy" that's a thoroughly modern exercise losing none of Ellington's humor or rhythmic complexity. Likewise, Gerry Mulligan's haunting, wee-hours, "Night Lights," is given expert treatment here by Strayer, and Dean Keller's baritone saxophone playing combines Mulligan's sense of lyric and Ben Webster's sense of time. In Time's Shadow reveals that innovation need not sacrifice accessibility or swing. It is convincing evidence that the big band form is alive, well and full of surprises."

"Our Christmas lunch at Eastbourne’s Riviera Hotel was greatly enhanced by singer Peter Stanford’s polished presentation of seasonal favourites. Peter’s extensive showbiz experience shines through from the start. A skilled vocalist Peter is warm, charismatic and positively fizzes with infectious energy. His varied repertoire which is delivered faultlessly - and with self-deprecating good humour - is guaranteed to enliven any dinner, party or corporate event. Thank you, Peter!"
