Review Centre: 1940s Era Musicians & Bands

"What a find ˜Feed the Cats" have been for us at Dogs Bar. They're now regulars here, usually the Sunday arvo spot. They pack the place out and the whole room is jumping along to their funky and swinging jazz. Magnificent band! Gavan and Sonya, Dogs Bar, St Kilda"

"I was happy to be present at a gig that nestles comfortably in my greatest ever gigs basket. The Paris Swinging Lovers did a straight through 2 hours gig and it was a model of a well thought out repertoire that took us on journey from St. James Infirmary to Raglan Road. Paddy has lived in Paris for the past thirty years, fronting a six man band of rabelasian Irish and French characters, so he knows his trade... Paddy plays trombone that acts as punctuation and percussion. The best entertainer I have seen for a long while."

"Loved the The Jazz Kings - Australia at the Brisbane Jazz Club last Friday… especially ‘Ferry Cross the Mersey’, Scat Harmonies, Drum Solo entree and Peter Uppman’s soaring solos and stage antics! Now enjoying their album! Pete Vance xx"

"We had a wonderful time! The music definitely met our expectations. I'm glad I chose you, and that it turned out so well. Without ever meeting you, without hearing the music beforehand (unlike on the website), the performance was exactly what I expected. I can confidently recommend booking you this way. Friendly (phone) contact."

"We had a fantastic night of dancing and partying on our wedding day, thanks to a superb vinyl DJ from Jazzcentrale. We had a good consultation with the DJ beforehand. DJ Robert had a perfect sense of what worked best for our guests and knew exactly how to get the party started. Everyone was dancing happily, and we had a fantastic evening thanks to Robert."

"I just wanted to be in touch to say thank you to Mr Swings Dance Orchestra for an excellent evening on Saturday night. How could anyone not be inspired to get up and have a dance to such great music! We feel, with your help, Gordon’s retirement has got off to a brilliant start!"

"On the occasion of my farewell party I invited the Jazz Centrale to provide the musical accompaniment. This was done very professionally. The guests were particularly taken with singer Eline and the band."

"I hosted a Saga jazz holiday at the Merton Hotel, Jersey, at which The Brian White Quartet was engaged to play. This was a unique experience, being Saga's first jazz holiday on the island and also that we had not heard the band play before. What a wonderful evening we had, with the band playing a superb programme of smooth, sophisticated jazz to the audience's delight. The band was very professional in every way - with good time-keeping and performing to our specified requirements. I have no hesitation in recommending this band if you are looking for something special, modern, up to date and very entertaining. "

"I had this band play at my wedding the other Saturday and they were amazing! Even though we just had the 3 piece band (2 guitars and bass) they sounded amazing and everyone loved them! Fitted perfectly with our venue and relaxed style of wedding. The guys were superb and very professional and I didn't have to worry about them at all. I even got time to stand there and appreciate them for awhile :) Would highly recommend these guys!"

"Everybody absolutely adored these two! They did so well! Lovely people and gutted I didn’t get chance to meet them on the day properly before it started!"

"What a fantastic evening this was, our second French night at Lock & Quay. This one well topped it and every single customers happy with the food and all entertainment. Muriele's voice was one of the best we've had at our venue and we can't wait to have her back here to sing for us and all our customers. Very talented performance and we wish you the very best with all your future gigs. Best wishes and thank you ( June 2023)"
