"It was a great night and everyone enjoyed it immensely. I'm sure those that came will do it again. So we must plan another one for the New Year!"

"I hired Fine Whines to play at our 25th Wedding Anniversary garden party last summer. Their fab music really made the party go with a swing. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the music and event. Fine Whines are extremely professional and friendly. Highly recommended."

Sentiti in un paio di serate abbiamo subito deciso che li volevamo al nostro matrimonio. Detto fatto, oltre a noi tutti sono stati contenti, dai bimbi che ballavano scatenati ai genitori e parenti più anziani che non se ne sarebbero più andati via. Il commento più bello è stato: "se mi sposo di nuovo voglio loro!" Hanno creato l'atmosfera perfetta e accontentato le nostre richieste imparando la nostra canzone e suonandola dal vivo e hanno anche cantato insieme ai miei genitori"

"Thank you for singing so brilliantly at our wedding. All the guests can't stop commenting on how fantastic your voice is and how you really made the evening. Thanks also for DJing, you immediately knew the right songs to play and didn't talk like a lot of DJ's do. We really did have a perfect day.”"

" All Music Review Thom Jurek The title of this set is an apt one. While much of the music presented by the Rick Holland-Evan Dobbins Little Big Band, it hearkens back -- in terms of its sophistication, confidence and outright jazz literacy, not nostalgically -- to an era when progressive jazz, and big bands (this one numbering 10 pieces) flourished on the scene. This is one sophisticated outfit. Featuring the arrangement and compositional skills of Brent Wallarab, Jim Martin, Bill Dobbins and Kerry Strayer, this band struts out the tradition and make some joyous, complex, and elegant music that reflects its own unique identity. The résumés of all these players are impressive and reflected in the confidence of the date. It opens with "SUNY-Triangle," a Martin composition that works its artful sleight-of-hand over Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Triste." Martin uses the rhythmically complex samba and drapes some tough, knotty twists and turns over it. The intro is a beautiful and raucous wake-up call, while the head of the tune, with its staggered entrances and exits -- including some fine soloing by John Viavattine on tenor and John Nyerges on piano -- give this tune a unique identity. "Creature Comfort" is a beautiful mid-tempo ballad by Wallarab with edgeless yet multi-dimensional dissonances written into its harmonics. It swings beautifully and includes a fine, punchy solo by tenorman Glenn Cashman. Besides the originals, there are some fine readings here as well. There's Wallarab's arrangement of Duke Ellington's "Black and Tan Fantasy" that's a thoroughly modern exercise losing none of Ellington's humor or rhythmic complexity. Likewise, Gerry Mulligan's haunting, wee-hours, "Night Lights," is given expert treatment here by Strayer, and Dean Keller's baritone saxophone playing combines Mulligan's sense of lyric and Ben Webster's sense of time. In Time's Shadow reveals that innovation need not sacrifice accessibility or swing. It is convincing evidence that the big band form is alive, well and full of surprises."

"Optreden Happy Hendrix voor mijn vaders 93e verjaardag Het optreden van Happy was fantastisch. Mijn vader werd 93 jaar en vierde zijn verjaardag met vrienden en kennissen. Hij was tot tranen toe geroerd. Hij heeft zo genoten... En hij heeft zelfs nog meegezongen. Het was, mede door jouw optreden, een onvergetelijke dag! Dank je wel!"

"Choosing the band Hot Wings for our wedding was the best choice we made. At the beginning of our wedding planning we weren't sure if we needed a band, but now I know that we needed it at the maximum and it was Hot Wings :) Investing in a good band is really worth it. Hot Wings turned our day into an amazing experience. Even while getting dressed and getting ready before the ceremony, when I heard the sound check, I was excited to see how everyone on the dance floor would rock it out thanks to the music. I was looking forward to the concert, which was the highlight of the whole day. And it was unforgettable! Dear Hot Wings, you were amazing ❤ you are all very likeable and talented young people and we are very happy that you came to spend our day with us in the High Tatras. You created an indescribable atmosphere and gave us a party that we will remember for a very long time?."

"The D Train Jazz group provided a wonderful evening of entertainment performing all the classics of the Great American Songbook. They were very professional in their approach and made themselves available to mingle with everyone during their breaks. The quality of the music was top notch and they even took a few request on songs that were not in their regular song list and did a GREAT job with it. I would highly recommend this group for your entertainment pleasure. "

"Super nice band!!! We hired the full 5-piece and it was the best decision! Between the double bass, guitar, drums, and trumpet (along with Nadya's awesome voice) we had the best time. The band was dressed super nicely, and they were really nice to work with. They even brought their own sound system which made it so much easier! Would definitely recommend for any corporate/private event or wedding ! 10/10 "

"Emanuele went above and beyond our expectations at our wedding reception. He communicated wonderfully before the event and came thoroughly prepared. He even visited the venue in advance to check the piano. Emanuele thoughtfully asked for our playlist and played all of our favorite songs in addition to his own wonderful selections. Our guests absolutely loved his music! He is not only an incredible pianist but also a truly kind person. We couldn’t have asked for anything more for our special day!"

"Dr Jazz arrived at our wedding in good time and set up their stage area and equipment with no fuss. Looking keen and smart with their authentic outfits and array of instruments. Already I was impressed with the professionalism and appearance of the band, but little did I know just what I had booked for the evening. Matthew Hardy’s outfit, Dr Jazz, simply surpassed all our expectations. Never had I guessed we would receive such a wonderful, exciting, dynamic but most of all musically awesome series of sets. The accuracy and quality of the performances were second to none. Studio quality sound and execution, professionally managed without a hint of fuss or issue. The musicianship of the ensemble was outstanding. The set list was varied and of a consistently high standard. The arrangements were just perfect and the solos were fantastic. Matthew himself leads the band with confidence and skill. His stage presence tasteful and engaging. The clips available of the band are wonderful but even they cannot capture just how tight and well executed the ensemble’s live performance is. I cannot recommend this band highly enough to anyone considering them. They set an atmosphere at our wedding that was everything we had hoped and more, carrying the mood and wonderful day’s atmosphere from dinner into the evening. They are worth every dime. 10/10 would definitely book again."

"We heard Sarah Jane (a.k.a. Miss Dolores) and her band at Painshill and I hoped that she might agree to perform at my 60th Birthday. The songlist she chose was wonderful as we had canapes and drinks and a great way to start the evening. It honestly made me tearful - it was just magical and a truly elegant start to the party."
