"Sue and I cannot praise you and your wonderful swing band enough. We have organised many prestigious balls and dinner dances over the years and we have hired some of the finest dance bands in the country but we can truly say that Mr Swing’s Dance Orchestra is the best we have ever used. It was absolutely magical, thank you. We are so so overwhelmed with gratitude to you for the evening because you absolutely made it. We would recommend you to anyone in the World; we already have a few people in mind. Comments from the guests included “The best band I have ever heard” and “What a fabulous band!” Not only were the musicians excellent but more importantly they all enjoyed playing which made for a wonderfully warm and welcoming atmosphere. It was a pleasure meeting you Matthew and a privilege to listen to your wonderful band which helped to make the evening very special indeed."

"Just wanted to say a huge ‘thank you’ for a great night on Saturday at Kate and Matt’s wedding. We had a fantastic evening and all of the guests enjoyed it. The acoustics in the National Railway Museum were very good. Would not hesitate in recommending your Yorkshire swing band in the future."

"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"

"Wedding anniversary in Robin's Nest, Carshalton Athletic FC. War Memorial Sports Ground, Colston Avenue, Carshalton, SM5 2PW We were very pleased with The Revivals Band. They played a good selection of party/dancing music, & we have had several compliments from our family & friends of how great the band were. We had a fantastic evening, & would consider booking them again, if we were arranging any functions in the future, & would definitely recommend them to others."

"'A superb band with players that not only play brilliantly but that really know their stuff and as a result play a wide range of styles in a very authentic way. Crucially, they also know how to entertain an audience…they are a promoter’s ideal band! ' Dr Ian Darrington MBE Director & Co-founder Wigan International Jazz Festival."

"Efrayim Fischbacher brought the house down at Dublin clarinetWorld with a performance and volume masterclass that will live long in the memories of all who attended. At 95 years old, Fischbacher is nothing short of a living legend, and his wit, charm, and unparalleled energy made for an unforgettable experience. Known as “the world’s loudest clarinet player,” Fischbacher more than lived up to his reputation. His booming renditions of classic jazz standards filled the room with a vigor that belied his age. At one point, he even shouted his catch phrase, “Oompah!” to the delight of the audience. The masterclass itself was equal parts education and entertainment. Fischbacher peppered his teaching with captivating anecdotes from his days in the 1950s jazz scene. His tales of smoky clubs, impromptu jam sessions, and larger-than-life characters were as colorful as his clarinet playing. Despite his larger-than-life persona, Fischbacher was generous with his knowledge, sharing practical tips on controlling dynamics, enhancing tone, and, of course, projecting sound with authority. Aspiring clarinetists and seasoned musicians alike left with invaluable insights—and a newfound appreciation for the art of making a statement with volume. Efrayim Fischbacher’s appearance was a celebration of music, history, and the sheer joy of performing. His charisma and storytelling were as commanding as his playing, and his presence at clarinetWorld was a true gift to all who were lucky enough to be there. Bravo to a legend who continues to inspire across generations!"

"We saw Girl Friday in Toowoomba last year and were very impressed. They have a great range of music and it was obviously impressing a number of the other patrons as they were up and dancing. The musicians are all very accomplished and very sensitive to the situation. I was very impressed with the band."

"Rajesh and V3 were called in for an event approximately 16 years back when I started my career and they were recommended to us by someone. When we first heard the name - we were unsure whether to use them as the client was very important and brought in some good business to us. When we called Rajesh for a meeting, he reassured us that he will take care of everything for us and he did. The band managed to control the pace of the crowd with their performance. Our client was so impressed that she made sure that they were the performers for every group that was brought into Dubai. I will always recommend V3 to anyone that is looking for a band and I know that person will be as mesmerized by them as I was when I started my career."
