Review Centre: Jazz Singers

"Ci siamo sposati ad Amalfi e The Italian Soul & Jazz Band ha superato ogni aspettativa. La loro musica ha accompagnato ogni momento in modo impeccabile: raffinata durante l’aperitivo, emozionante durante la cena e travolgente quando è iniziato il ballo. Tutti gli ospiti ci hanno fatto i complimenti per la scelta — l’atmosfera era magica, elegante ma piena di energia. Professionali, gentili e davvero talentuosi. Li risceglieremmo senza esitazione! "

"I recently booked Owen at very short notice to play at our home for my Husbands 50th Birthday. We arranged it all by email as it was a surprise for my Husband, Owen was very obliging, on time and professional, he was the 'icing on the cake' and all our guests commented on his performance. Thank you Owen! "

"We thoroughly enjoyed the performance. Even though there were a lot of guests, it was very noisy, and many people were on the terrace, it was very pleasant to have a pleasant tune playing in the background. So, it was a great success. I really appreciated that this musical trio could be arranged on such short notice, which definitely added value to the success of the event."

"Raphael and the Blue Moon Jazz trio played at our wedding ceremony and reception in Tuscany in October. The responsiveness during the planning could not be faulted and their flexibility in being able to learn our specified songs for during the ceremony was great. They had a lovely sound – just the style of jazz that we enjoy – and played a number of sets based on our preferences. They also played some more contemporary songs in a jazz style during the ceremony. They integrated into the ceremony without any hassle and were in fact the easiest of all the many parts of the wedding to organise. I would certainly recommend Raphael and the Blue Moon Quartet for any wedding or function – such a nice group of very talented people and they made our day truly memorable! "

"Tom sang at our daughters wedding and was just brilliant. Turned up in good time to set up, looked so smart and then gave two brilliant sets of music that the whole audience absolutely loved. The wedding was quite simply breathtaking from start to finish and the only criticism I received was that I didn't book Tom for a longer time!"

"At Burnham Park Hall we host a lot of events for our local community and Anna Nightingale is often involved, Anna is so versatile she is our go to girl! One moment Anna is performing 40’s war time songs dressed in an RAF uniform and next she is singing Rock & Roll numbers at our 50’s night, then Anna Is on stage at our outdoor cinema event playing the role of Sandy at our or Grease night and recently Anna was on stage with her full Motown Band. Anna is always a pleasure to deal with while we are planning our community events and she takes an active role in making sure each event is a success."

"We had a wonderful time at Hampton Court House and the sound of your music floating out of that conservatory into the sunny courtyard as we launched into our celebrations is one of my happiest moments. Will certainly be in contact again if we have another special occasion as would love to hear you play again. ________"

"The best way to bring music to our outdoor wedding — without a doubt, the touch of Latin American warmth made all the difference at our Nordic wedding. Truly professional 👏👏"

"Cheryl was an absolute joy to work with. I was looking for someone to surprise my husband for his birthday party and she was everything I was hoping for. She really added the extra special element while being very unobtrusive at the same time. I would recommend her highly."

"Thank you very much for all of your hard work on our wedding day. We absolutely loved having you entertain everyone and hearing you sing and we are still getting comments from our guests about how much they enjoyed your performances! Thank you for the DJ services as well - we had a fantastic time dancing until we had to go to sleep! You really made our day special, we can't wait to see you at your next Lake District event!"

"IT WAS billed as A Night At The Musicals, and it was certainly a title which attracted a packed house to the Howden Park Centre last Friday evening when Darren Shaw and three dancers took the stage and sang and danced their hearts out. Two for the price of one took on a whole new meaning in this show in which we, the audience, were encouraged to join in with some of the well known songs. If you looked around, all you could see was a sea of smiling faces having a great time reminiscing and sharing some of their favourite moments from the musicals. This was courtesy of one very talented young man sporting a George Clooney haircut and diamond earring, some nifty costume changes, an incredible voice range and an endearing smile. Using a variety of spectacular, if sometimes dazzling lighting effects, and the obligatory dry ice creating an atmosphere that makes the singer appear suspended in clouds, the show began with a spotlight into which sauntered Mr Shaw in top hat and tails singing On The Street Where You Live, from My Fair Lady. Once again the excellent acoustics of the Brian Duguid Theatre played host to emotive, full orchestral music courtesy of impeccably timed tapes. Maybe it was just a shade loud in the first half which saw something very unusual and totally original. Everyone is familiar with The Sound of Music and the recent Connie Fisher version of The Hills are alive. Enter Darren Shaw looking splendid in lederhosen, like a denizen of Austria and straight from the Alps. To everyone's amazement and some barely concealed audience mirth, he became a soprano and made the hills come alive in his own special way. As the show progressed, the format of two songs by Mr Shaw interspersed with dance routines by the hardworking dancers began to win us over. For the first time ever, the famous duet from Grease, You're The One That I Want, was sung by Mr Shaw who performed the male and female parts. Using his falsetto voice – an attribute which was once taught in Italy in the middle ages resulting in the singers being known as castratto (please, don't ask) – Shaw sang the SuBo hit from Les Miserables as he duetted with himself in I Know Him So Well. In The Phantom of the Opera sequence he once again sang the famous duet which takes Christine, the soprano and The Phantom to perform, all by himself. As for the three dancers, two glamorous blondes and a bonny brunette, they proved their versatility by dancing a variety of styles from musical comedy to modern with a brave attempt at Irish River Dancing which drew cheers from the audience. The finale saw Shaw resplendent in a mint green sparkling shirt and matching flares with the dancers in glittering jump suits so there was no doubt that we would hear something from Mamma Mia and we certainly did. This night at the theatre was indeed a feast of tunes from the musicals which at first, thanks to Mr Shaw's dual voice, seemed a little hard to digest but soon became an acquired taste."
