Review Centre: 1950s Era Musicians & Bands

"Sol Chango played at our wedding and made such beautiful music. We asked them to play instrumentally after the ceremony and it was just magical. They added a singer for their performance after the wedding dinner and they really got the crowd going. They were lovely to deal with and played such a great repertoire of timeless music. We loved having them! "

"With all the hype going to Wynton Marsalis, you might not guess that there are other, lesser-known, straight-ahead trumpet players out there who are consistently ripping the hide off the ball. This, Rick Holland's auspicious debut, is an impressive effort. The trumpeter leads his quartet, backed by a solid Michigan-based rhythm section: pianist Terry Lower, bassist Ed Fedewwa, and drummer Larry Ochiltree, through a fiery trail of originals and standards, interspersed with some fine balladry. Holland's sensitive ear translates to some tight arrangements and a well-organized program. On flugelhorn, he boasts a rich, full tone that purrs with warmth. On the faster tunes, he steams. This is the kind of jazz that feels just right on a wintry day, with the fireplace in full throttle, and the feet resting on a cushion: it hits the spot perfectly, drenched with emotional power and skillful fortitude.

"Played in our wedding last month and provided the best atmosphere for our reception and cocktail party. They even played some of the songs some guests asked for right on the spot. Highly recommended!"

"I saw EverClare at a cousins wedding recently and they were the highlight of my day. My wife and I have been to 5 weddings this year and seen a number of different bands and DJs and these guys were in a league of their own. As a reluctant dancer,, even I found it difficult to keep off the dance floor - their choice of songs was spot on. Book them now and thank me later!"

"Special thanks go to Santa Sax for playing his heart out yesterday and keeping everyone entertained with his beautiful music and raising over £75 for Isaac’s Food Bank ♥️ We would 100% recommend this amazing musician to anyone booking an event, not only is he an amazing saxophone player, but he is the kindest, sweetest man ? Isaac has a special affinity for the tones of the sax and it filled all our hearts with happiness to have him at the event Note: Santa Sax is my alter-ego for gigs in December!

"We are delighted, very helpful in the planning stages, arrived promptly with no fuss set-up and then WOW what a performance, our guests were up and dancing and under the total control of Lovely from the moment she started her first number. Wonderful singing voice, fabulous presence, great humour thrown in and a very inclusive show that had something for everyone! And what stamina she displays, and the best of all - you know she is genuinely having fun too, which makes it all so real for the audience. I wish we had an excuse to rebook Lovely - if you are not sure, take our word for it - you wont be disappointed!"

"Review received on 9/13/2023 A night to remember with the Jersey SureCats Band! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can't say enough about the amazing performance by Jersey Surecats Band at my husband's staff party! They truly went above and beyond to make it an unforgettable night for everyone on the cardiac step down unit. The setting, with the band playing on the elevated covered porch overlooking the beautiful Shark River in Avon by the Sea, NJ, was absolutely picturesque. As the music filled the air, the energy was palpable, and everyone danced the night away on the bluestone patio below. Each member of the band brought their unique talent to the stage, creating a harmonious blend of sounds that kept the crowd moving. Chuck Conlin's guitar skills were nothing short of extraordinary, while Eileen Meara's vocals were simply mesmerizing. Andy Magerowsky's bass guitar added a powerful depth to the music, and Bill Waldron's guitar expertise was the perfect complement to the ensemble. The diverse range of songs they played was a testament to their versatility and musical prowess. From the timeless classics of the British Invasion era to the energetic hits of the 80s, they covered it all. The transition from the Romantics to the Rolling Stones was seamless, and they flawlessly moved through genres, paying tribute to legends like Jefferson Airplane, Led Zeppelin, Janis Joplin, CCR, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and more. But they didn't stop there! Jersey Surecats Band took us on a journey through the 90s, delivering powerful renditions of songs by Pink, Pearl Jam, and Foo Fighters. The Motown and Disco hits had everyone grooving, and their rendition of modern favorites by the Lumineers, Jason Mraz, and Adele showcased their ability to stay current while honoring the classics. What truly set them apart was their dedication to ensuring everyone had an incredible time. They graciously agreed to stay overtime, playing an additional hour because nobody could resist the infectious beats. Not a single person sat down the entire evening, a testament to the band's ability to keep the party alive! Jersey Surecats Band's performance was nothing short of spectacular. If you're looking for a band that can cater to diverse musical tastes and deliver an unforgettable experience, look no further. I can't recommend them highly enough. Thank you, Jersey Surecats Band, for making this celebration one for the books!"

"Thank you to Martyn and the rest of the Backbeats for a fantastic evening, they played a mix of music for suit all ages and their live 60's music was perfect for the party with many commenting on how good they were. Communication was fantastic throughout and made the organisation of the party easier. I would not hesitate to recommend this band! Thanks again!"
