Review Centre: 1950s Era Musicians & Bands

"From the bride: "The music was wonderful! We could not have asked for a better band. Our guests were really impressed; the Uptown Society Orchestra really made our reception special.” From the groom: "What a professional group. Their exceptional musicianship brought a real element of class to the party. There is nothing like the sound of a live band, and this group made our reception better than we could have hoped for.” From the father of the bride: (Dennis Nowicki): "The band was fantastic -- they really exceeded our expectations."

"We thoroughly enjoyed a stylish and musically high-level jazz performance. For our 50th anniversary, we were looking for an elegant jazz band, and this all-round Jazz Quartet exceeded our expectations. The communication beforehand was smooth and clear, which immediately gave us a reassuring feeling in the run-up to our event. On the day itself, the band members arrived well ahead of time at the Atomium—professional and well prepared. Their performance, in their classy dress code, was atmospheric and musically of a very high standard, striking exactly the right tone for this festive occasion. The music added an extra touch of class to the evening and was greatly appreciated by all our guests. In short: reliable, professional, and above all musically excellent. Highly recommended for anyone looking for quality live jazz!"

"The Catfish Kings were a phenomenal band that were perfect for the occasion of my parent's 50th Wedding Anniversary celebrations! The quality of the music was fantastic and had everyone dancing and having a good time. I would definitely recommend Harry and the rest of the band to get your feet tapping and your mouth singing! Very professional and entertaining, thank you! "

"Just wanted to thank you and the Tri Tones for playing at my daughter's wedding this week. Your music accompanying her day reception of fizz and cake was perfect! Many of our guests commented how much they enjoyed listening to the band as we relaxed and chatted in the sunshine. Thank you for speaking with me beforehand and you listened to what we wanted and delivered it with skill and aplomb! I hoped we were in safe hands but it was great that you were thoroughly professional in your approach arriving early and playing in 30 degree heat without complaint! We would have no hesitation in recommending the Tri Tones to anyone! "

"We recently hired Barbara e Champagne to perform at my parents' 45th wedding anniversary celebration, and the experience was nothing short of extraordinary. The event took place at a rented villa in Terracciola Toscana, and from the very start, the team showed a high level of professionalism and dedication. We had a small group of 12. They arrived an hour before the performance to set up and to ensure everything was perfectly aligned with our expectations. This attention to detail and their willingness to connect with us beforehand truly set the tone for a memorable evening. The music was simply beautiful. Carla's voice is stunningly natural and powerful, making the night truly unforgettable. Her performance, along with the talented musicians, brought a magical atmosphere to our celebration. It was evident that they love what they do, as their passion and enthusiasm shone through every note. Not only were they exceptional musicians, but they were also incredibly kind and friendly. Their warm and approachable demeanor added to the joy of the evening, making everyone feel welcomed and engaged. In summary, Barbara e Champagne exceeded all our expectations, creating a night filled with beautiful music and cherished memories. We highly recommend them for any special occasion."

"I find it very important in todays jazz environment that a player of Rick Holland talent gets heard and recognized because he carries on a tradition of swing and melodic playing that I consider most important in jazz. Hendrik Meurkens, Jazz Harmonicist, NYC"

"Thank you and the band so much for providing the music to our wedding last night. As I’m sure you’d expect, very many of our guests expressed their admiration of your performance. However, we’d heard you before and knew what to expect. Notwithstanding, your wedding swing band over-delivered on our expectations and we had an absolutely fantastic evening of music and dance thanks to you and you colleagues. We were genuinely delighted with your delivery and the way you made the party swing. Again, thank you, and we look forward to seeing you again at your public performances."

"How do you sum up such an absolutely fabulous performance? Well, I'm going to give it a go. Lovely was such a GREAT singer, putting her heart and soul into every song. Lovely has a real mixed bag of songs and takes requests to please her audience. She is amazing with kids, dancing along with them while never missing a note: friendly, chatty, sweet and kind. Worth well more than what she charges! You need to book her!!! She doesn't just stand there and sing she dances too! Lovely's voice is as good as all the great artists she sings! So STOP right here don't waste time and book her! You too will also be blown away!!!! I loved her and so did everyone else in the room!"

"I cannot talk highly enough of Cara! She has the most pure, wonderful, insanely professional voice I have ever heard! Every song she sings is unbelievably amazing! So much so that guests at the parties he has performed at have said... Is that actually her real voice coming out of her ACTUAL mouth"
