Review Centre: Jazz Singers

"OMG, Patty Rose, tell everyone to bring their dancing shoes!!!! CJ performed at my wedding last November at Avalon Country Club!!!, he was the ultimate entertainer!!! Encouraging people to come dance ( not that any encouragement was needed)!!! WOW, he not only played the best music, he took requests, interacted with the guests. Everyone loved him, and I knew he would be a huge hit from the moment I saw him perform at another venue earlier in the year!! Love this man, anyone who hasn’t seen him perform, you owe to yourself to come out and experience the magic that is CJ!!!"

"We hired Grant Swift the day before our event and couldn’t have been happier. He was fantastic to work with and absolutely delivered. The music mix was spot-on for a corporate event, and any concerns we had about sound and volume were quickly put to rest — everything was perfectly balanced. Grant was professional, adaptable, and clearly experienced. We would hire him again and again without hesitation."

"IT WAS billed as A Night At The Musicals, and it was certainly a title which attracted a packed house to the Howden Park Centre last Friday evening when Darren Shaw and three dancers took the stage and sang and danced their hearts out. Two for the price of one took on a whole new meaning in this show in which we, the audience, were encouraged to join in with some of the well known songs. If you looked around, all you could see was a sea of smiling faces having a great time reminiscing and sharing some of their favourite moments from the musicals. This was courtesy of one very talented young man sporting a George Clooney haircut and diamond earring, some nifty costume changes, an incredible voice range and an endearing smile. Using a variety of spectacular, if sometimes dazzling lighting effects, and the obligatory dry ice creating an atmosphere that makes the singer appear suspended in clouds, the show began with a spotlight into which sauntered Mr Shaw in top hat and tails singing On The Street Where You Live, from My Fair Lady. Once again the excellent acoustics of the Brian Duguid Theatre played host to emotive, full orchestral music courtesy of impeccably timed tapes. Maybe it was just a shade loud in the first half which saw something very unusual and totally original. Everyone is familiar with The Sound of Music and the recent Connie Fisher version of The Hills are alive. Enter Darren Shaw looking splendid in lederhosen, like a denizen of Austria and straight from the Alps. To everyone's amazement and some barely concealed audience mirth, he became a soprano and made the hills come alive in his own special way. As the show progressed, the format of two songs by Mr Shaw interspersed with dance routines by the hardworking dancers began to win us over. For the first time ever, the famous duet from Grease, You're The One That I Want, was sung by Mr Shaw who performed the male and female parts. Using his falsetto voice – an attribute which was once taught in Italy in the middle ages resulting in the singers being known as castratto (please, don't ask) – Shaw sang the SuBo hit from Les Miserables as he duetted with himself in I Know Him So Well. In The Phantom of the Opera sequence he once again sang the famous duet which takes Christine, the soprano and The Phantom to perform, all by himself. As for the three dancers, two glamorous blondes and a bonny brunette, they proved their versatility by dancing a variety of styles from musical comedy to modern with a brave attempt at Irish River Dancing which drew cheers from the audience. The finale saw Shaw resplendent in a mint green sparkling shirt and matching flares with the dancers in glittering jump suits so there was no doubt that we would hear something from Mamma Mia and we certainly did. This night at the theatre was indeed a feast of tunes from the musicals which at first, thanks to Mr Shaw's dual voice, seemed a little hard to digest but soon became an acquired taste."

"Danny was wonderful and really made our celebratory function a fun and memorable night. He was professional, flexible and reliable. He has an amazing voice, a wonderful stage presence and a great feel for the event. Many of our guests commented on how lovely he was. We would highly recommend Danny for any event - he really set the scene in the early evening and really got the party going at the end! Enjoy your show with Danny!"

"Beyond expectation I read all of Ed's wonderful reviews and was expecting him to be great, but he somehow exceeded that expectation. I wish we could have Ed at every party. He was a wonderful performer and engaged an otherwise shy crowd. I would absolutely hire again and recommend highly! "

"The feedback from attendees and volunteers was unanimously very positive : one of the best entertainers we’ve had. Voice perfect along with the selection of songs from musicals, pop and classical. Good interaction with the audience and the ability to cope perfectly with some surprise audience participation. It was very good Lizzie Hales and we very much look forward to welcoming you back soon.
