"Added value for a successful event We really enjoyed the performance. Although there were many guests, it was very noisy, and many people were on the terrace, it was very nice to have a pleasant tune playing in the background. It contributed greatly to a successful event. I also really appreciated that this musical trio could be arranged on such short notice, which certainly added value to the event. "

"Just a quick email to say thank you so much for playing at our wedding reception. Mr Swing’s Dance Orchestra were simply amazing and we have had so many guests comment on how great you were. Thank you again and all the best to your Yorkshire swing band for the future."

"The Tri Tones played at our family party last week and were absolutely great. The age range of our guests was from 1 - 90+ and, without exception, everyone loved the music. The band arrived in good time, were cheerful, flexible and played beautifully. I would highly recommend them. Apart from sharp renditions of traditional favourites, they had taken the time to learn a Springsteen classic (requested) - which was fantastic. Our party was in a church hall with doors open on to a garden - people commented how well the band modulated their performance so that it was always significant but never too loud. Thanks Tri Tones - we will definitely be in touch for the next big event!"

"I booked Hetty and her trio to play at a garden party for my wife’s birthday, and couldn’t have made a better choice. They played some gorgeous Latin American jazz, interspersed with swing classics, and the sound was perfect for a laid-back summer afternoon. Ronan's smooth saxophone is an excellent foil for Hetty’s flexible but beautifully expressive vocals. Miguel holds it all together, unobtrusively and elegantly, on guitar. They were lovely people to work with, and I’d confidently recommend them for social events of this kind."

"We wanted to thank you again for your fantastic musical contribution last Saturday. My brother was very pleasantly surprised, especially since he's a keyboardist himself. And the music was just right in style and volume."

"Ottimo .bravi ..ma completare con una voce? Non vuole dire andare ad intaccare la coesione e la preparazione ma del gruppo ma aggiungere un qualcosa in più "

"We have had nothing but compliments for the entertainment at the Gala Dinner at our National Rally this year. The choice of material for both sets was spot on. Pleasure working with you and I hope we may be able to do it again some time in the future. I will certainly be recommending you to anyone I come across looking for event entertainment."

"Lorraine Heavey is a star. It’s just as simple as that!! Having done 25 years in TV news I know a star when I see one. There is an expression for on-air talent who completely control the viewer’s attention — ‘she eats the camera’. She is that talent. She is enchanting. I wish her such good fortune as she takes London by storm. "

Thank you so much Susan for your lovely review. We loved the gig at The Pizza Express Holborn. It is such a great dining venue with great sound. Lorraine Lorraine and the Flames

"I have been meaning to message you directly also to thank you. What you produced the night of our wedding was nothing short of magical - and I do not say this lightly. I am very happy to hear the band enjoyed the evening - I think their enjoyment and energy showed through their music. The feedback we have had from guests is overwhelming, particularly that the band and the singer (I don't remember his name) was the best they have ever heard at a wedding. You guys nailed the performance. I am so happy that we decided to do a live version, you could not have gotten the same energy and vibe with just a recording / original version. Your two sets were also perfect. There were a few times that we all stopped in the marquee to listen and appreciate the music, particularly My Way - I remember looking around and quite a few people were singing along! I think another sign of a success of a wedding is the number of people on the dance floor, and there was not an empty space during the second set. The amount of people of all ages dancing was a true highlight for me as we wanted this to be a wedding that everyone would enjoy - not just us." Alexa"

"Eugene Mann is one of THE best musicians and entertainers on the planet! He sets the mood as needed for any occasion. I would highly recommend him for any gig of session work. He is also a master of the WindSynth! Ask him for a demo, truly amazing. 10 out of 10 stars - Kelly Dunn"

"Una festa da non dimenticare Io e Giuseppe avevamo già ascoltato i Retrofive ad un matrimonio di nostri amici. Non avevamo dubbi che sarebbe stato il gruppo del nostro. Il ricevimento è stato molto allegro e il gruppo è stato capace di far ballare e coinvolgere anche i più “anziani” delle nostre famiglie! È stato un momento davvero felice e divertente per noi. Consiglieremo i Retrofive a chiunque si sposi che ama un tocco vintage, ballare e non prendersi troppo sul serio! I ragazzi sono stati professionali, simpatici e molto disponibili. Sia prima che durante il ricevimento."

"Great! Your performance was great! I personally found it a pity that the music outside wasn't as audible, so you got less attention than you deserved. Fortunately, that improved later in the evening and there was even some dancing. "
