Review Centre: 1950s Era Musicians & Bands

"After initially speaking to Eric I knew that the band was right for the party I was organising. Eric is really reassuring when you have any questions or concerns about your event. A great set up and a great performance from the trio that played at my dads party. Everyone enjoyed the the music both play list and actual singing. There was even time to allow some guests to get up on stage and have a sing song. So glad I chose you! Good luck for your future performances. Kindest regards Joanne Hurst Surprise 70th birthday party. Joanne Hurst"

"Such a talented/friendly band. Will definitely be back to see the guys (hopefully get to play the tambourine again lol). Would highly recommend to go see The Evil Trouser monkeys. "

"We hired Jack as some chilled guitar playing either side of our ceremony and just before our wedding Breakfast, he played every song we asked for and learned some new ones for us. He was professional and was the correct vibe for the times in which we booked him for."

"Semplicemente perfetti. Musica swing di altissima qualità è suonata con brio e allegria, che ha messo d'accordo tutte le generazioni presenti al matrimonio, atmosfera fresca e leggera per tutta la festa. Ho ricevuto complimenti da tutti, e anche noi sposi ci siamo divertiti da morire!"

"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."

"Thank you both for bringing such a special part of our wedding to life. The live music was integral to our ceremony and Alice & Friends elevated the event. They brought in a special magic which extended to the reception afterwards. They set the mood perfectly and provided a fantastic atmosphere to make people feel lively!"

"Mellowtone jazz were fantastic! We hired them to play at our corporate event. Chris and the team were very accommodating of our needs - nothing was too much trouble. The jazz trio played a great repertoire of all the jazz classics and they made our event that extra bit special! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend and we would certainly use them again for another event in the future. "
