Review Centre: 1950s Era Musicians & Bands

"Extra atmosphere and enjoyment thanks to the band During a staff party, we wanted background music. I came across Jazz Centrale online and got in touch with Kars. The band and singer were professional and friendly, and the music was excellent! They knew perfectly how to create a warm and enjoyable atmosphere."

We especially appreciated the music of the 50s/60s, and twist and rock and roll. the guests all danced, without exception. Thanks Contrabbandiati"

"We wanted music for a small gathering of my friends and relatives…we didn’t want anything to loud, but still had energy to dance to.. my friend recommended Unexpected Duo, they played a lot of different types of music, we asked for dance music and that was no problem, they took a moment and before you know it ,everyone was on the patio dancing, we were singing to all of the songs by that point, I will hire them for my next party…thank you Jan and Rob or Ron..sorry forgot your name!"

"Incredibly accommodating artists and very professional. We were lucky enough to have the pianist and saxophone player duo who were prompt with arrival and set up, and fantastic performers. They added the exact atmosphere with their jazz music, even going the extra mile to learn a very personal, niche song that made walking down the aisle a dream come true!"

"The band went down a storm and already I’ve been asked for your details. We really appreciated the effort and journey and thank you all. In hindsight, I wish that we had you on longer as the feedback really has been amazing. Please pass on my thanks to all of the band."

"Thanks for helping to make our wedding so fun and exciting. Everyone had a fantastic time. They all pretty much agreed that this was the best party they have ever attended. Some guests are considering throwing a party just to repeat the performance! Thanks for all of your attention, efforts, and energy! Patricia and Eric"

"What an amazing band! Brass Monkees played at our wedding recently and definitely made it a night to remember! The band are all very talented, great fun and certainly know how the get the crowd going! A great range of songs, sure to make you dance! The band don't just stay on their stage/performance area. They come out into guests and play amongst the crowd. Absolutely loved the moment 3 of them came and played their instruments around me and my husband then went behind the bar. So many of our guests commented how amazing Brass Monkees are and how they really did make the wedding! Highly recommended for any event!"

"Carla, Dino, Guglielmo, and Angelo of Barbera & Champagne performed at my wedding in June 2025, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience. From the very beginning, communication and coordination with Carla was seamless. She was warm, responsive, and incredibly professional. Her voice is absolutely stunning, and the entire quartet brought such vibrant energy to the celebration. Their performance of romantic classics in English, Italian, Spanish, and French added an elegant, heartfelt touch that made our wedding feel like a dream. So many of our guests commented on how unforgettable the music was. Grazie mille to Barbera & Champagne for making our special day even more memorable!"

Thank you so much Nicole for having us at your wedding and for your very kind words about our performance! We had a great time too, the medieval Abbey was incredibly fascinating and everything in the place expressed a positive energy. Our best wishes to you and your husband! Carla & Officina del Malcontento
