Review Centre: 1950s Era Musicians & Bands

"Miss Dolores and her excellent 'combo' played a selected repertoire for our wedding reception in December. We were impressed with the band's flexibility and quality of performance and of course Miss Dolores's beautiful and seemingly effortless singing. So many of our guests commented on the band and congratulated us on choosing them. Miss Dolores looked stunning in a lovely sequinned dress. In planning for the event she was keen to give us what we wanted, offering us an extensive repertoire of American song book, swing, latin, lounge, jive, rock & roll and contemporary songs, based on our initial conversations, and said there were many more to choose from if we needed them! She also recorded the song we'd selected for our 'first dance' so we could practice to it beforehand, which was very helpful indeed. Thank you Miss Dolores, we loved the music and relaxed vibe you generated for us on our special day."

"Big City Dixieland was a HUGE hit in our City Parade! Audiences from all ages were singing along, clapping and even dancing in the grass! Big City Dixieland sounded great! From what we (the organizers) could hear, they played a good variety of lively, well-known Dixieland Music, including a patriotic song. It was very easy to work with Maureen and Michael, their band arrived early, and everyone was very professional. We will definitely be hiring Big City Dixieland band for our next event in 2025! "

"We had the pleasure of Melissa singing at our vintage themed Wedding in February. What can I say - Melissa is so talented and a beautiful singer. She made our drinks reception absolutely perfect and all our guests where complimenting how fantastic she was. Melissa was so accommodating with her set list and even sang a personal request for me and Tom (husband). Having Melissa sing at our wedding made our day the extra special and I could not recommend her highly enough. Thank you so much and we would love to see you sing again in the future."

"I booked Mellowtone Jazz for my Mums 90th Birthday garden party. I cannot commend the band enough. I chose to have the trio and all 3 band members were so talented, friendly and accommodating. We we so pleased with the fabulous music they played. My Mum had the most wonderful time and she was so overwhelmed with it all. We had so much good feedback from our guests on how much they enjoyed the music. I would not hesitate to book Mellowtone Jazz again for our next party. (10 / 10) "

"Barbara F August 2022 5 out of 5 Anna Nightingale has performed at every Fifield Fun Day for the last six years and is now an integral part of the show. Always immaculate, smiling and totally professional she delights our visitors with medleys of popular songs while they enjoy a drink from the bar or a nice cup of tea and a slice of cake. What could be better on a summer’s afternoon? She is a total delight and we know that the Fun Day would not be the same without her. We look forward to seeing her again next year."

"From the bride: "The music was wonderful! We could not have asked for a better band. Our guests were really impressed; the Uptown Society Orchestra really made our reception special.” From the groom: "What a professional group. Their exceptional musicianship brought a real element of class to the party. There is nothing like the sound of a live band, and this group made our reception better than we could have hoped for.” From the father of the bride: (Dennis Nowicki): "The band was fantastic -- they really exceeded our expectations."

A wonderfully talented band of highly skilled professional musicians who were polite, adaptable and reliable. I hace recommended them to my cousin for her wedding next summer and she is was excited to be booking such a great band! "
