"We just wanted to say a massive thanks to the Band for playing at our Great Gatsby Party on Friday last week! They were amazing! Everyone really loved them and wished they could have stayed for longer! What a great mix of old vs. new Gatsby and great singer and musicians would definitely recommend them!"

"I got an all-clear result from my PCR Test yesterday, so last night I ventured out to the Jam House to see how much the Brummie music culture had advanced during my almost 2-year absence. Last nights gig was a new venture called Reggae Winehouse a Brummie band with three vocalists doing Reggae versions of Amy Winehouse's repertoire. I liked the idea, and so did a lot of other Brummies who turned out to make a fantastic night. I am old enough to remember when the Windrush Generation started to arrive in Brum bringing their love of music and enjoyment with them. A few of that generation were present last night along with their grandchildren. By the time that the second set started the Jam House was bouncing around St Pauls Square and you couldn't tell the difference between the multiple ethnicities on the dancefloor, we were all just Brummies filled with Joy. I semi walked semi danced on my way home in the early hours, thinking to myself how lucky I am to be a Brummie. The Jam House did our City proud last night, and after 10 years I finally saw the lead singer I always knew was in there. Take a bow Leonie Smith and the rest of your brilliant band !! #nuffsaidfred #ILuvMyCity"

"Really good voice and players, we love the music and everybody was dancing all night. I won't repeat because I'm not planning to get married again but definitely totally recommendable."

"Hana Dolgin and her talented trio delivered an unforgettable jazz performance at our office last week, captivating us for over three hours with their incredible artistry. From the moment they began, Hana’s soulful energy and masterful command of the music set the tone for an afternoon filled with pure delight. Her smooth, expressive saxophone playing paired beautifully with the rich, dynamic accompaniment of her two bandmates, creating a perfect balance of rhythm and melody that kept us all entranced. What stood out most was Hana’s ability to connect with the audience—she brought a warmth and vibrancy that turned our usual workspace into a cozy jazz lounge. The trio’s chemistry was undeniable, with each musician shining in their solos while seamlessly supporting one another. They played a mix of classic standards and original pieces, showcasing their versatility and creativity. Hana’s improvisational flair was particularly impressive, adding a fresh, spontaneous edge to every song. Beyond her musical talent, Hana was a consummate professional—gracious, engaging, and perfectly attuned to the vibe of the room. The performance was the highlight of our week, leaving everyone buzzing with appreciation. If you’re looking for a jazz experience that’s both polished and heartfelt, Hana Dolgin and her crew are an absolute must-see!"
