"A service at the top! For our wedding we relied on Wedding notes for the entire musical entertainment from the ritual and was a winning choice! Marica and Antonino, in addition to being wonderful people have proven super professional from the first contact and we were satisfied in every request with great flexibility! The musical accompaniment with Antonino’s violin and the piano left us speechless, they masterfully played our tracks of the heart creating moments of intense emotion! For the reception we chose to entertain our guests with the wonderful swing quartet and then move on to the pop duo, talented performers and there were moments of salsa as requested and group dances on the finale! A spectacular coordination... they collaborated with the rest of the team very well! What can I say! Wonderful... we would rewrite them another 1000 times! "

"La loro professionalità, simpatia e capacità di creare un'atmosfera coinvolgente per gli eventi, come matrimoni e feste è unica! Evidenzio come il ritmo e la cordialità siano stati impeccabili, ho apprezzato la loro bravura e la loro capacità di stupire con la musica. Musica che vi farà ballare, cantare e scatenare e che renderà la festa del vostro matrimonio ancora più speciale ed esilarante. La Italian Band farà anche molto di più di questo: coinvolgerà i vostri invitati, ascolterà le loro e le vostre esigenze e avrà come unico obiettivo quello di far decollare la serata e sapranno come rendere il vostro ricevimento nuziale un evento unico nel suo genere e assolutamente coinvolgente. I brani proposti, rigorosamente live, abbracciano diversi generi musicali e sono adatti a un pubblico ampio e diversificato, come spesso si incontra ai matrimoni. La Italian Band farà divertire proprio tutti e trasformerà la vostra festa in un evento musicale memorabile! Davvero una garanzia con le loro voci coinvolgenti accompagante da Fisarmonia e Ukulele. Un caro saluto a Stefano e Umberto! "

"Friday 24th November 2023 - The Jazz Kings - Tweed Valley Jazz and Blues A superb gig to bring a fitting close to a year of top-flight music. ‘The Jazz Kings’ left us in no doubt why they are currently rated among the top outfits on the North Coast. Each of them – Nicole Parker-Brown on vocals, Peter Uppman on vocals and trumpet (sometimes almost at the same time), Gordon Matheson on guitar, Col Atkinson on bass and yet more vocals, and Jose McLaughlin on keyboards – is an accomplished performer in their own right, and in combination they are a musical powerhouse to be reckoned with. It was an evening of eclectic mix, from popular jazz standards, through blues arrangements that will be appearing on their latest album, to occasional dips into the classical realms, and a few nostalgic ‘pop’ reminiscences. Among the favourites were their own arrangements of evergreens such as ‘Night and Day,’ ‘All Of Me’, ‘Misty’, ‘Georgia On My Mind’ and ‘Making Whoopee’. Jose even gave a nod towards his earlier career as keyboard player and musical director of ‘Gerry and the Pacemakers’ with his updated arrangements of ‘Ferry Cross the Mersey’ and ‘Don’t Let the Sun Catch You Crying’. All in all, a great end to 2023, and the Club Committee took time at the end to wish all members and visitors a happy and safe Xmas and a prosperous New Year. If it promises music of the same quality as this past year, then we’ll have no complaints."

"Matthew, what can I say about the band. Firstly, everyone at the party has commented on the amazing atmosphere you all created from the moment you stepped onto the stage. I knew that you would be good as obviously I had watched your performances on your site, but what I wasn’t prepared for was the utter joy that your performance would give to everyone who was there including the staff at the hotel! The music choices were perfect, the vocals and commentary perfect and the feeling that I couldn’t have booked anyone better a delight. I know my father really enjoyed his night and has sung your praises far and wide. You all made the night truly fabulous and I cannot thank you enough for it. I hope to book you all again for future functions and obviously will let everyone know just how incredible your band is. Once again please give my thanks to the whole band, they were absolutely amazing."

"Dan and his band was amazing I threw my wife a surprise 10 year cancer remission party and found Dan Olivo on GigSalad. Soon as I talked to him I knew he was the right person for this special event. He definitely provided a memorable night and was the highlight of the party. I would recommend him without any reservations and can't wait to see him perform again."

"We saw the biggest ensemble that Hitchen Jazz provides - The Hitchen Big Band, at Montpellier Jazz Club in 2015. They played an excellent concert. David presented the concert all evening in French, with a charming English Accent. We have followed the group ever since, and we also love the Hitchen Jazz Trio. Bravissimo! "
