"Dr Jazz arrived at our wedding in good time and set up their stage area and equipment with no fuss. Looking keen and smart with their authentic outfits and array of instruments. Already I was impressed with the professionalism and appearance of the band, but little did I know just what I had booked for the evening. Matthew Hardy’s outfit, Dr Jazz, simply surpassed all our expectations. Never had I guessed we would receive such a wonderful, exciting, dynamic but most of all musically awesome series of sets. The accuracy and quality of the performances were second to none. Studio quality sound and execution, professionally managed without a hint of fuss or issue. The musicianship of the ensemble was outstanding. The set list was varied and of a consistently high standard. The arrangements were just perfect and the solos were fantastic. Matthew himself leads the band with confidence and skill. His stage presence tasteful and engaging. The clips available of the band are wonderful but even they cannot capture just how tight and well executed the ensemble’s live performance is. I cannot recommend this band highly enough to anyone considering them. They set an atmosphere at our wedding that was everything we had hoped and more, carrying the mood and wonderful day’s atmosphere from dinner into the evening. They are worth every dime. 10/10 would definitely book again."

"Wedding anniversary in Robin's Nest, Carshalton Athletic FC. War Memorial Sports Ground, Colston Avenue, Carshalton, SM5 2PW We were very pleased with The Revivals Band. They played a good selection of party/dancing music, & we have had several compliments from our family & friends of how great the band were. We had a fantastic evening, & would consider booking them again, if we were arranging any functions in the future, & would definitely recommend them to others."

"The band went down a storm and already I’ve been asked for your details. We really appreciated the effort and journey and thank you all. In hindsight, I wish that we had you on longer as the feedback really has been amazing. Please pass on my thanks to all of the band."

"Web, 2017 Bromyard Scarecrow Festival. 03/06/17. We were very pleased with The Revivals Band and would have no problem in recommending them to any one looking for a Band. They were both helpful and understanding when we had to move them out of the original venue and in to another one due to problems with the electrics. I think you can always tell a good Band when you see people on the Dance floor all evening. We all had a marvellous time and many of those attending have said what a good group they were."

"Thank you and the swing band more than I can say. You were terrific. We are trying to think of an excuse to have another party at which you would play!"

"Thank you so much for playing on Sunday night. Our first dance was perfect and just what we wanted! All of our guests loved the music and said how good the sound was. Mr Swing’s Dance Orchestra were absolutely more than we could have hoped for and made many happy memories for us."

"Please will you pass on our thanks to all members of Mr Swing’s Dance Orchestra. We have such good memories of our friends having a great time when the swing band was playing and loads of people have been in touch to say how much they enjoyed the music. We really hope to see you perform again in the North West but until then we shall continue enjoying listening to the CD – it has enlivened every car journey since we returned from honeymoon. Many thanks once again."

"Just wanted to say a huge ‘thank you’ for a great night on Saturday at Kate and Matt’s wedding. We had a fantastic evening and all of the guests enjoyed it. The acoustics in the National Railway Museum were very good. Would not hesitate in recommending your Yorkshire swing band in the future."

Oh thanks for your great review, Kate! We certainly enjoy entertaining with our brand of jazz, blues and swing classics… not to mention some cheeky latin and our reimagined pop/rock tunes!
