"Sue and I cannot praise you and your wonderful swing band enough. We have organised many prestigious balls and dinner dances over the years and we have hired some of the finest dance bands in the country but we can truly say that Mr Swing’s Dance Orchestra is the best we have ever used. It was absolutely magical, thank you. We are so so overwhelmed with gratitude to you for the evening because you absolutely made it. We would recommend you to anyone in the World; we already have a few people in mind. Comments from the guests included “The best band I have ever heard” and “What a fabulous band!” Not only were the musicians excellent but more importantly they all enjoyed playing which made for a wonderfully warm and welcoming atmosphere. It was a pleasure meeting you Matthew and a privilege to listen to your wonderful band which helped to make the evening very special indeed."

"USA Jazz Club Antwerp: We waren opzoek naar een stijlvolle band die toch een ‘feestelijke’ sfeer kan neerzetten, zo kwamen we bij FÊTE LAWEIT terecht. De eerlijke filmpjes die we vonden gaven ons de indruk dat dit een verzorgd project is. Leuke originele arrangementen, verzorgde uitvoering, enthousiasme op het podium en afwissellend repertoire met enkele ‘niet alledaagse’ stukken. Een bisnummer was onvermijdelijk om dit feestelijk concert af te sluiten. "

"Whilst searching for a 1920s style band for a 30th birthday party we came across Trip for Biscuits. WOW, just WOW!! As soon as I watched the videos and listened to the tracks online I knew we had to book them. Laura's voice is outstanding and the musicianship is second to none! So glad we found you guys. Highly recommend, you and your guests will not be disappointed!"

"When you hear it on the subtly-simmering 'For Heaven's Sake' you know you're in the presence of a master improviser. "

"What an entertaining band last night at the VJC at Clayton RSL. The High Society Jazz Orchestra played a magical mix of Big Band numbers from a number of eras. They not only played well, but looked the part in their dinner suits and lovely dresses. The music kept dancers on the floor all night and the audience looked very happy with the music - even the children were enjoying the night!"

"Review of Trilby - The liner notes inform us that this ensemble started as a swinging dance band in 2005. Since then, they've evolved into a solid, well-arranged outfit with first rate solos played by intriguing, skilled jazz cats. The feeling I derived from the CD was similar to a classic Blue Note session. You know, several well-written originals that are melodically strong, and a few standards to test the players' chops on familiar material. The co-leaders play flugelhorn and trombone, respectively. Most of the arrangements come from pianist Bill Dobbins, who allows plenty of room for free-swinging solo work. The familiar vehicles here include Benny Golson's "Stablemates" and Sonny Stitt's "Eternal Triangle." I also spotted a tune called "Rich's Call" by Kerry Strayer, a baritone player of the highest stripe, and a skilled composer and arranger as well. It is interesting to note three compositions from jazz harmonica whiz, Hendrik Meurkens. Perhaps he has some connection to the band. Finally, it should be said that this session is directed straight down the middle of the bop highway. Simply an outstanding blowing session on songs that, amazingly enough, sound like songs!"
