"Thank you to Martyn and the rest of the Backbeats for a fantastic evening, they played a mix of music for suit all ages and their live 60's music was perfect for the party with many commenting on how good they were. Communication was fantastic throughout and made the organisation of the party easier. I would not hesitate to recommend this band! Thanks again!"

"Great band ! Professional presentation, great players , great vocals . The best part was how they engaged the with the audience making sure everyone was having a fabulous time ! Took every request and Shelley, (the vocalist), had complete control of the party . Everyone loved D-Train Jazz. They all were accomplished musicians With years of experience and impressive experiences with the biggest names in the music business . I’ve gone to several weddings in the past few years , and no other group compared . Their price was so reasonable and explained that they played for their passion for music rather than money …. And boy! …. You could see and feel their Passion!!!…….. Rating: 10 plus!"

"Before seeing this show I had heard many rumours about Harmonica Lewinsky, whose background was shrouded in mystery, although I believe he learned his harmonica skills in the Deep South in the deltas of Harrow on the Hill under the tutelage of Blind Les Battersby. But, it was a very different character to the one I expected who performed at the posh Victoria pub in Highgate! Mr Lewinsky, looking like a cross between a rabbi and one-half of Chas 'n Dave (I'm not sure which half) appeared in cloth cap and braces and presented a highly original selection of songs, some of which rarely see the light of day. There were no predictable “Brown Eyed Girls” or “Mustang Sally’s” here: instead - a veritable feast of the unexpected - as we witnessed one man, his guitar and his trusty harps. When was the last time you heard a pub act kick off his set with Chas 'n Dave's “The Sideboard Song” and follow it with the Theme to “Top Cat” and then offerings of cheery, chirpy Cockney ditties including “Waiting At The Church,” “Maybe It's Because I'm A Londoner”, “Show Me The Way To Go Home” and Tommy Steele's “What A Mouth”? I’m guessing the answer to that question is ‘rarely’ (if ever) but the fun didn't stop there. Mr Harmonica Man is a really great entertainer and demonstrated, with great finesse, his harmonica technique on - wait for it - the Shadows' “Apache”! It was quite a feat playing the melody on the harp while strumming his guitar. ‘Harmy’, as he is known to his close friends (or 'Self-Harmy‘ to others) also tackled in the first half the theme to "The Flintstones"; Elvis Costello's catchy “Watching The Detectives” and the Cockney knees-up “I've Got A Lovely Bunch Of Coconuts”. Harmy was back in terrific Pearly King form for the second half starting with “Any Old Iron” followed by a touch of the Formbys with “Leaning On A Lamppost” after which he did a ‘Donegan’ with a riotous version of “My Old Man's A Dustman” complete with enthusiastic audience participation. Mr Lewinsky has a great sense of humour, which he constantly shares with the Victoria regulars. "Here's another Cockney classic sung by a Welsh man", quipped Harmy before diving into “Delilah.” Other gems included the theme tune to ‘Match Of The Day’ (played on two harmonicas); a very funny and risque interpretation of Mike Jerome's “Sling Yer Hook”; a great version of the Small Faces' mod anthem “Lazy Sunday”; and a yahoo rendition of the old country favourite “Riders In The Sky”. After many encores Mr Lewinsky packed away his cap and braces and headed off to the Deep South (of London) for some pie and mash. The Victoria would do well to snap up Harmy for some more gigs before he hop-foots it down the Strand for a residency at the Old Bull and Bush!"

"Marcia Bamberg gave a fantastic concert with her swing quartet on Friday evening, October 13. Marcia managed to continuously hold the attention of the audience with her beautiful voice and warm appearance and the musical accompaniment by John Ligthart on guitar, among others, was surprising and catchy. Afterwards, Marcia and 'her' men rightly received a standing ovation. Highly recommended for other (intimate) stages."

"What can I say? The Get Back Beats are the best band to ever play at my house! I recently organised a Festival themed party and wanted a great 4 piece band to open then bill… I was not disappointed. These guys were excellent! They played a fantastic couple of sets ranging from 60s and 70s classics to crowd pleasing 80s and 90s indie. So much more than I could have hoped for, and everyone really enjoyed themselves. Fantastic musicians and thoroughly nice guys. Great to deal with and very professional & punctual. I’m just trying to think of a reason to book them again! Maybe when I turn 41! Many thanks for such a memorable day!"
