Review Centre: 1950s Era Musicians & Bands

"On the recommendation of a friend, we hired Jeff for our 35th anniversary party. He did a great job, provided an impressive variety of music (played many of our favorites from the 70s, 80s and 90s), got us singing and dancing, and helped our family and friends have a very enjoyable evening. Jim and I would highly recommend. "

"We just wanted to say a huge thank you for making our silver wedding anniversary party so special last Saturday. Everyone remarked on how good a party it was and I think that was a large part down to you. The atmosphere was really good and people were enjoying themselves. I couldn't have asked for anything more!!"

"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

"We had the pleasure of hiring Rich on the 5th of August 2023 to sing solo at our wedding. This consisted of two sets of various songs all within the swing theme. We had the option to choose from an extensive song list to suit our special day. Rich sang to our guests as they arrived and followed on after the ceremony. Wow, what more can we say all our guests during the time of the performance really enjoyed listening to Rich sing. Most of all in our opinion he was great. If you were to compare his prices for what he does, both myself and my husband would highly recommend having Rich to sing at any event you may be hosting. Our guests ranged from teenagers to the elderly and each and every one of them were either singing along or tapping along to Rich as he sang. If we'd of had Rich singing at night, 100% our guests would of been up and dancing. Taken from Google, verified. "

"So glad we booked these guys, so talented and added the perfect background music for our reception. Sorry I wasn’t able to say thank you in person! As you can imagine it was a crazy day! Thank you all so much "

"This added a great new dimension to our event and went down very well. Had no problems from start to finish and all went to plan. Paul was excellent and the planned 'build up from background music to a bit more upbeat' worked well as got people up dancing straight away. Good communication as well. Would recommend. "

"We hired The Catfish Kings for our wedding reception in November. The music was terrific and really made the party go with a swing. Everyone enjoyed themselves and there wasn't one song when the dance floor wasn't crowded - that says a lot! As for most weddings the age range was from children to a 96 year old and they all loved the music. My great nephews who were aged about 16 - 25 all had a great time and their Mum said that was the first time she'd seen them all up on a dance floor. Everyone was very sad when it was time for the band to pack up. So in summary the Catfish Kings are superb for a party of all ages. Valerie "

"Good Co made our outdoor August wedding so magical. They were incredibly easy going and communicative and learned a couple request songs for us. They were great at reading the room, playing more subdued songs when people were eating and talking, and a great variety of more danceable songs towards the end of the evening. They even played the Hora on the spot when a Jewish relative of mine requested it. Guests were abuzz about how great the music was, and neighbors (we had a backyard wedding) who overheard sent notes about how much they loved the music. They were also very patient with some power issues that arose midway through dinner (and even kept playing for us!)"

"While we were very reluctant to bring in a "jazz performer" as our patrons are definitely not a "jazz crowd", you convinced us to give you a try, and we're glad we did.  We couldn't have been more pleased as you did a great job connecting with the audience, and as promised, performed a wide range of music that was well received and got them dancing.  We're looking forward to having you back and have also given your contact info to a friend for a private party they are planning. "
