"Just about to embark on our honeymoon cruise but wanted to say a huge thank you for playing at our wedding at Crathorne Hall on Friday. We had a wonderful day in which you played a huge part. Everyone loved the music and even the hotel staff said you were the best band they had had play there in the past few years!!! The whole day was fantastic but the culmination with your orchestra absolutely topped off the day – FABULOUS. STUNNING!!!!!"

"I think I thanked you about a dozen times on the night but once again thank you so much for making our wedding such a magical day. Everyone enjoyed Mr Swing and would have danced to you all night. We have both been singing King of the Swingers ever since. Keep us informed of any future events."

"I felt I must write to thank you for the part you played in making the ball so successful. I have had many telephone calls since and everyone says it was the best event they have ever been to at Elland Road. I am fully aware that without your help this would not necessarily have been the case. I could not have wished for a better start to my testimonial year."

"We would like to thank you and the swing band for making our silver wedding anniversary so special and such a memorable occasion for us. We had such a perfect evening and we are sure all our family and friends enjoyed themselves as much as we did. We would like to think if in the future we have another occasion to celebrate that Mr Swing would be there!"

"Just wanted to drop you a quick email to say thank you for Friday night. You were absolutely amazing, and better than we imagined. The staff have all said how brilliant you were. Thank you for being part of our Works party. We really enjoyed having you there and the music you played was just what we wanted and hoped for. We are all still talking about the night and I have party blues. Wish it hadn’t happened yet so I could do it all again. Your details will definitely come in use for future events I’m sure."

"Mr Swing’s Dance Orchestra made our wedding! We thought our special day couldn’t get any better after we exchanged our vows and heard the kind words from our family but, as soon as we heard the music, I knew that the band would leave an impact on our guests. I did not stop dancing all night! We truly enjoyed every moment of the band’s set and all our guests have commented on how wonderful they were. Really wish we could have had them longer. I want to say a heartfelt thank you to Matthew and the rest of the band for making our wedding magical. All our love, Mr & Mrs Colbeck."

"Efrayim Fischbacher brought the house down at Dublin clarinetWorld with a performance and volume masterclass that will live long in the memories of all who attended. At 95 years old, Fischbacher is nothing short of a living legend, and his wit, charm, and unparalleled energy made for an unforgettable experience. Known as “the world’s loudest clarinet player,” Fischbacher more than lived up to his reputation. His booming renditions of classic jazz standards filled the room with a vigor that belied his age. At one point, he even shouted his catch phrase, “Oompah!” to the delight of the audience. The masterclass itself was equal parts education and entertainment. Fischbacher peppered his teaching with captivating anecdotes from his days in the 1950s jazz scene. His tales of smoky clubs, impromptu jam sessions, and larger-than-life characters were as colorful as his clarinet playing. Despite his larger-than-life persona, Fischbacher was generous with his knowledge, sharing practical tips on controlling dynamics, enhancing tone, and, of course, projecting sound with authority. Aspiring clarinetists and seasoned musicians alike left with invaluable insights—and a newfound appreciation for the art of making a statement with volume. Efrayim Fischbacher’s appearance was a celebration of music, history, and the sheer joy of performing. His charisma and storytelling were as commanding as his playing, and his presence at clarinetWorld was a true gift to all who were lucky enough to be there. Bravo to a legend who continues to inspire across generations!"

"We listen to a lot of live music and Girl Friday are one of our favourite bands, Michelle and the boys are ultimate professionals, their music ranges from swing, to blues, Latin and they make a lot of popular music their own. We love doing their Friday night Sun Set Cruises Jazz cruise out of Mooloolaba and we often catch their Eat Street, Toowoomba and Warwick 'Jumpers and Jazz' gigs. Great band to listen and dance to!

The music really was just ripping and really set the tone for the whole evening! Young and old thought it was spot on. I would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone!"
