"We hired Paul and Andy (piano and sax) for our Christmas wedding last month, and they were absolutely perfect. Everyone loved them and it really added to the atmosphere. So pleased we booked Cocktail Jazz, they were brilliant :)"

"We had a great evening with Lorraine & The Flames at The Pheasantry. A really interesting and varied selection of classics and some lesser-known songs, all performed beautifully by Lorraine and her band. The quality of Lorraine's voice alongside a clearly very accomplished band displaying great timing, rhythm, and hats-offs, made for a fabulous evening. Looking forward to future gigs!"

"Steve is fantastic. We have used his talent for the past two years now and he has captured the hearts of all of our guests. This year, almost 130. He is to be commended on his abilities and we intend to utilize his services for many events to come."

"Wow! Mike really had the beautiful Parisian atmosphere we were looking for. As we came out of the church, we had him walk around playing amongst our guests while we drank champagne!"

"Lovely was absolutely fantastic. Booked as a background singer for a Christmas Function, to sing at the beginning of the evening while the 120 guests arrived and ate their dinner. Lovely's singing is phenomenal and her ability to work the crowd is second to none. Unfortunately I had booked a band to follow on after her set. I really wanted to get her to sing all night. If I'm honest, I was a bit put off booking Lovely as she was so cheap. Almost half the cost of everyone else I looked at booking. I am so glad I went with my gut instinct. I can't recommend Lovely enough and hope to get the chance to book her again. "

"As a great lover of Gipsyjazz for over 40 years, I went to a great concert of the Marcia Bamberg Swing Quartet last weekend with the addition of two world famous musicians on violin and guitar, Tim Kliphuis and Mozes Rosenberg. The six-piece formation brought a great ode to gipsyjazz with beautiful solos on guitar and violin and also beautiful subdued numbers sung by Marcia Bamberg. It was a great experience and a recommendation for everyone who loves gypsy jazz to visit future concerts."

"Ruby sang at our anniversary party in 2016, and she made it an absolutely unforgettable evening. She has a fantastic song list ready, and she is happy to learn new songs for you, - even if I must say that her repertoire matches my own favourite songs, so I would be hard pushed to find any additional to request. Ruby covers all sorts of swing and Jazz from the Andrew Sisters to Amy Winehouse, dance music from cha cha cha to rock ‘n roll plus also Beatles and Bowie and other styles of music. All delivered with Ruby's own touch. Some of them much better than the originals. On top of it all, she made me aware of another brilliant singer, the Dutch Caro Emerald, as Ruby sings a couple of Caro’s songs. To have Ruby singing was, to quote a Caro Emerald song: “I have never dreamed, dreamed a night like this” I would definitely recommend Ruby for any party, birthday, wedding, anniversary or the like."

"You gave the reception a huge atmosphere with your performance. I heard only positive reactions and several people wanted to know your e-mail address (including the observatory staff). Thank you for turning this drizzly day into a celebration with your performance. We enjoyed it."

"Professional, musical addition to our party. The men (in this case) played nice, jazzy background music and had good insight into when they had to stop for a speech, for example. The communication was very pleasant. In short, highly recommended!"
