"Hi Andy, Wanted to drop you a line in appreciation of your fantastic performance yesterday. To see you looking so fabulous in Highland dress as we pulled up to the gates at Altrincham Crematorium and begin to play Lest we Forget, it was breathtaking. Followed by the Skye Boat Song, a song my Mum sang to her grandchildren when they were babies, it was delightful. Our driver opened our windows, the six of us (myself, sister and four brothers) listened in wonder as you played perfectly, how I wish my Mum could have been there, she would have just loved it. Thank you so, so much Andy, you made mine and my families memories of the day so much more special. (10 / 10)"

"The Lewis Barfoot Jazz Quintet delivers amazing performances. The ensemble demonstrated a deep understanding of both the jazz and swing tradition and the soul of live interpretation, balancing technical precision with an inviting sense of spontaneity. Lewis's leadership was evident throughout, with singing that was confident yet understated, allowing space for all the musician voices to shine.There was an unmistakable sense of enjoyment and mutual respect on stage, which translated directly to the audience. Dynamic contrasts were handled with care, and solos were expressive without ever feeling self-indulgent. Particularly impressive was their attention to providing music that truly worked for dancers. Tempos, dynamics, and phrasing were handled with care, ensuring the music was not only enjoyable to listen to but also perfectly suited to the dance floor. Beyond the performance itself, the professional approach stood out throughout the entire process. Communication was clear and reliable from the initial booking through to the end of the event, making the experience smooth and stress-free. Overall, the Lewis Barfoot Jazz Quintet combined high-quality musicianship with professionalism and thoughtful consideration for their audience, resulting in a thoroughly successful event."

"We are incredibly grateful the Blue Moon Italian Jazz Band was willing to travel to Loro Ciuffenna to play at our wedding. Raphael, the pianist, was our main contact, and he was always quick to respond, reassuring regarding planning the day of, and amazing to work with. The band was extremely accommodating, and especially adaptive to changes in the moment, and of course extremely talented musicians. They set the perfect mood for our day and were a highlight of our wedding. We also hired a DJ to play after our cake cutting for a few hours and he was also a hit! This is a group of geniunely kind, funny, and gifted musicians that we would happily recommend to anyone looking for a fantastic band for their wedding or special event. "

"DJ Miro was the perfect choice for our wedding. He was incredibly easy to work with and accommodated our every need, including song changes on the day of the wedding. He was everything we had hoped for and more. He's great at what he does and is an even better person. A very calming presence to have at the wedding and he always had a smile on his face. He even took some of the best pictures of the night and sent them to us after (such a nice surprise). We highly recommend him and wouldn't hesitate to hire him again!"

"I had an incredible experience! I had the opportunity to have Igor and Sergei play the double bass and piano for my proposal, and it couldn’t have been more beautiful. We spoke over Zoom and on the phone to go over the details, and they truly understood my vision. They even checked out some of the songs I wanted to include. They arrived on time and delivered an unforgettable performance. I will definitely hire them again for future events and highly recommend them"

"I had the pleasure to work with Khalil at a friend’s wedding that I helped coordinate on site. His energy is absolutely amazing! Where to start? He worked the crowd and engaged with absolutely everyone! He was on point from the moment he arrived, set up on time, perfect in tuning with us when the ceremony started and everything else on point! The music played was wonderful, everything from Latin, jazz, pop & dance! My personal favorite part was his saxophone performances throughout the night! He new exactly when to play his saxophone to create the most amazing ambiance of pure joy and love. (Also must add he is extremely talented with the saxophone!!) The wedding had a diversity of guests so it was wonderful to see that he had something for everyone! A BIG added plus, Khalil is a joyful souls always smiling, energetic and a pleasure to work with. I 100% recommend him!"

Petra is very talented and wow'ed everyone with her performance. She made our Holiday event extra special and memorable. She brought in amazing energy and warmth. I highly recommend Petra. So sad she moved away from the Bay Area!"

"Susan Wareham 2022 recommends Ritchie Penrose - Celebration of The Soul & Motown Legacy Show. We can’t recommend Ritchie enough. He entertained our wedding guests perfectly. Ritchie sang for us as we took to the dance floor for our first dance, plus an additional serenade which was blissful. The dance floor was full during his whole performance. Brilliant singer and engaged his audience fabulously. We would definitely recommend him. Thank you. "

""Our event was made even more special by Dave Brazier, saxophonist par excellence! He went above and beyond 'the call of duty' and was such fun. He didn't just stand and play; he wandered round the tables and played for our guests. Not too loud or intrusive - just perfect!""
