"For a grand dinner with a "Great Gatsby" theme we were looking for a suitable musical accompaniment. We found it at the Jazz Centrale. After clear consultation and advice we decided to book singer Mylene and 5 musicians. A great choice! Mylene and band have an inexhaustible repertoire, felt the atmosphere and moments well, and can really do everything. From background music to making a party, in this case a "Great Gatsby party", they can do it. Mylene and the accompanying musicians are all thoroughbred musicians and quickly adapt to the moments. Wonderful for host and hostess because they arrange everything themselves. An excellent, cozy and extraordinary musical accompaniment for all guests. Incidentally, the Jazz Centrale can offer much more, everything is possible, on to the next party!"

"Fantástico! Tivemos a grande sorte de conhecer o Felipe, desde o primeiro instante que ouvimos as suas musicas, vimos os seus vídeos e conhecemos o seu percurso, soubemos que ele era a pessoa ideal para dar esse toque especial que queríamos para o nosso casamento. Conhecemo-nos pessoalmente dias antes do evento, e desde esse momento sentimos que estávamos a falar com um amigo, sempre muito atento, ouviu-nos e aconselhou-nos e sobretudo com um grande sorriso que o caracteriza. No dia do casamento tudo saiu incrível, tal como o que tínhamos imaginado para o nosso casamento, mas se há uma coisa que nunca vamos esquecer é a linda musica que o Felipe pode partilhar connosco. Tem um talento e carisma extraordinários, simplesmente cativou todos os convidados com as suas maravilhosas canções. Estamos-lhe imensamente agradecidos, não por ter simplesmente cantado no nosso casamento, mas por fazer-nos sentir em todo o momento que tudo ia correr bem nesse dia. Apesar de que tenham passados alguns meses desde esse dia, seguimos a sua trajectória de perto e esperamos algum dia poder voltar a ouvi-lo cantar."

"James Anthony was amazing when he performed for the United States Congress on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. He arrived early to rehearse with a 20 piece group of musicians and was a huge hit. The Congress Members and Senators were asking where I found him and we at the Las Vegas Metro Chamber of Commerce absolutely recommend him. Due to popular demand, we brought him back the next year to perform for the US Senate for their annual gala."

"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."

"Great Artist very friendly and accommodating. Darren performed a large range of songs which everyone at the club enjoyed and which they were dancing to. Have booked Darren again and will continue to do so in the future. Would recommend to all who enjoy a good night with a great artist. "

"Matthew was great! He was extremely talented and professional. We requested multiple songs for him to learn and he played them all perfectly! He was extremely accommodating. He brought all his equipment, arrived early for set up, and executed everything perfectly. We will definitely use him again for future events and recommend him to friends!"

"Melisma Manouche were absolutely superb. They played the perfect sound for the party. So many of my friends wanted to know where we had found them and were very interested in hearing them play again. Each song was applauded and at the end of their session it was very clear that the party wanted them to carry on playing! Brilliant, highly recommended for every occasion."

"When we got married, I was looking for live music with an elegant and unique touch. When I heard them play, they transported me to another era; I loved it and knew straight away that I wanted them to be part of our special day."

"Live music at the cocktail reception After giving it a lot of thought, we decided to have a live saxophone performance at the wedding cocktail reception, with a brilliant set list that we didn’t want to change. We’re really glad we went ahead with it, because it was perfect in the garden: the guests were relaxed with the music playing, and it created a magical atmosphere. I’d definitely recommend it!"
