"We just wanted you to know that your swing band were absolutely fantastic last night and made Karen’s celebrations so special. Everyone we have seen today has said how good you were and how professional. It was an absolute pleasure to listen to such a talented group and you should all be so proud of the ability you hold. Everyone would recommend you all over the North East and that to me says it all. Good luck for the future."

"I just want to thank you so much for making our wedding celebrations so perfect. Everyone who came has fed back to us how amazing you were. You were absolutely stunning and I loved every minute of your sets – terrific voice and music. It was lovely to see everyone dancing – from my 6 year old niece to my 83 year old aunt! Thank you so much."

"We just wanted to drop you a quick message to say thank you so much for being such a fantastic part of our wedding last week! We have lost count of the number of guests who commented on how fantastic you all were, both on the night itself and in messages afterwards. The atmosphere was exactly as we had hoped it would be. We can’t think of a better way that we could have gotten all of the different people from all walks of our lives up and dancing all night! Dexter particularly isn’t much of a dancer so I hope you do take it as the high praise that it is that he was on the dance floor for so much of the evening. We also just wanted to say a massive thank you for being so flexible with the timings and playing later than planned without any issue. Hope the rest of the wedding season continues to be such a success. Thanks so much again."

"Keziah’s gorgeous voice has a timeless charm that conjures a joyful and nostalgic mood. At our community events she’s had an audience of young and old in raptures. I’d definitely recommend booking her! "

"Darren's band played at our graduation ball at Crewe hall and were absolutely fantastic! They played fun and lively music at the drinks reception and gave the whole room a buzz of energy. The only downside was that we didn't have enough time to have them play for longer!"

"'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!"
