"The Black Marcs played for us at our Jubilee picnic on 4th June 2022 in Tollerton village. From beginning to end Mark was genuinely very friendly, helpful, easy going and professional to deal with. The band played a wide range of crowd pleasers suitable for all ages and everyone enjoyed their music. I highly recommend them as a live band for any event - you won't be disappointed."

"Duo Voyage (pianist and saxophonist) are tremendously well matched. As a result, their performance is great, many of our guests have already booked Voyage again!"

"Stephen and his crew were amazing. Total Pros, arriving and setting up on time, followed cues and were completey respectful of our conservative crowd. Most importantly, the music sounded great! I'll book Sticks and Stone Percussion the next opportunity I get!"

"Electric Outfit played for us at my husband’s 50th birthday party, they played a great selection of 70’s & 80’s music which is why we chose them, although they also played a great mix to keep some of the younger (fitter) guests dancing whilst we recouped! Very friendly and professional and hope to see them again sometime in the not too distant future, highly recommended."

"It's when I see such talented people as yourselves that I feel Simon Cowell must die for crimes against music and creativity. Absolutely love your material. Hugs all round."

"The guys were fantastic, the music was perfect and just what we were looking for. They played for both the ceremony and the cocktail reception, and everything was perfect."

Dear Jordan and Juli, it was a real pleasure to enrich the ceremony, the cocktail reception, and part of the dinner with our music. You were fantastic, and being with you felt like being at home.

"The Hot Hats were more than we could have ever hoped for on our wedding day. Whether you plan a smaller wedding with close friends and family, or a larger affair, The Hots Hats are guaranteed to be the cherry on cake for your special day - Without them I'm not sure we would have been able to create the same party atmosphere! Whether our guests were tapping their feet or dancing on the grass, everyone enjoyed the entertainment. Alfie was also both friendly and professional throughout, making us feel at ease as we planned the day. Thanks so much! - Jess & Joe, July 2021"

"We had our wedding in Taormina, and The Italian Soul & Jazz Band were the highlight of the evening. Their energy and class turned our reception into an unforgettable celebration. Beautiful vocals, elegant sound, and total professionalism from start to finish. They arrived slightly late due to heavy traffic, but they handled everything with such grace and flexibility. Still, we’ll give them a solid (9/10) — only because perfection started a few minutes late!"

Reply by The Italian Soul & Jazz Band
Thank you so much, Martina and Alessandro! What a fantastic evening in Taormina — we still talk about that night. I really appreciate your patience with the traffic delay; once we started, the energy in the room was incredible! You and your guests made it such a memorable celebration for us too. Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness and more nights filled with music! – Giuseppe

"Lisanne and I had been searching for a good jazz band with a Latin flair for a long time. We were thrilled to stumble upon Jazz Centrale and were immediately captivated when we heard the beautiful Bossa Nova sounds they have in their repertoire. The performance more than lived up to our expectations. It's a shame we couldn't enjoy it even more because of all the conversations at our wedding. I would book them again in a heartbeat!"

"Harmie brought his full Cockney repertoire to the cavernous Cavalier pub in Whetstone and he had to fight his way through the crowds to get to the stage, arriving with his guitar, a collection of harmonicas, his cloth cap and braces and a mug of jellied eels. This was a real Cockney knees-up evening for the regulars, who included in their midst the Pearly King and Queen of Purley, or was it Finchley? Kicking off with Chas 'n Dave's raucous toe-tapper, "The Sideboard Song" the cheeky chappie tackled a lovely bunch of Cockney ditties, including Tommy Steele's showstopper, "What A Mouth"; an entertaining version of the old Billy Cotton (now there was a good old Cockney) number, "The Marrow Song"; and the singalong tunes, "Maybe It's Because I'm A Londoner", "Show Me The Way To Go Home", "Meet Me At The Church" and the tasty, "Hot Meat Pie, Saveloys And Trotters". Highlights of the first set were Harmie's harmonica-led rendition of the Shadows' classic instrumental, "Apache" and, following a request from a punter, a countryfied version of "What Made Milwaukee Famous", which was part made famous by Rod Stewart. The lovable Cockney character was in humorous form too calling for 'security' when a man approached him for a request, and in telling the audience: "As this is Whetstone I thought we ought to do a song about infidelity," before launching into Gene Pitney's, "24 Hours From Tulsa", complete with harp solo. The second set brought more Cockney treats with Bernard Cribbins' "Right Said Fred"; Mike Jerome's clever, "Sling Yer Hook" and Chas and Dave's weepie, "Ain't No Pleasing You". The audience were loving Harmie by now, but soon he had to battle his way through the masses again to get to the Harmie-mobile and a trip home to the Old Kent Road."
