Review Centre: 1940s Era Musicians & Bands

"Fantastic musicians who set the perfect vibe! We booked a pianist, saxophonist, and double bassist through Jazz Centrale for a networking reception. Their smooth jazz in the background created a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere, making the evening a complete success."

"One sunny evening on a terrace overlooking the lovely grounds of Hanbury Manor, easy jazz notes flowed melodiously out of the conservatory - Camino Sonoro were in residence, creating an ambience which added so much warmth to the good company of friends with whom we celebrated our wedding anniversary. Our guests and family were charmed by Hetty's commanding vocals, Miguel's languid guitar and Ronan's mellow saxophone. 'Girl from Ipanema' brought smiles to many faces, 'My baby just cares for me' was delivered with casual confidence, and later on, many of us delighted in recognising Hetty's lovely rendition of 'I wanna be like you' - from The Jungle Book! It was a very special evening for us, and my family and I are thrilled that Camino Sonoro captured the mood perfectly with their unique style of swing and Latin jazz. The trio are truly relaxed, adaptable and versatile. I have no hesitation in commending Camino Sonoro to anyone seeking the perfect musical complement to their special occasion."

"I love jazz but many of my party guests were not so keen. After Vibrant Jazz entertained us for a brilliant evening I have had so many comments about how good they were and how much they enjoyed the music. Many thanks for helping the night go with a swing!"

"Kit made our Bonfire Lunch super special, reading the crown and pleasing all ears. He is super reliable, communication is excellent, punctual and a delight to treat with him overall. We will definitely call him again and we can recommend him 100%."

"The Uptown Society Orchestra may have had six members, but it sounded as if it had twice as many as members blew triumphantly throughout New Years' eve night.

"What can I say? Simply fantastic. Spot-on entertainment that kept the dance-floor packed from beginning to end. Your team’s professionalism shone out on the day by a country mile and they’re the kind of standards i love and expect! The band was absolutely fantastic. The set up, look and standard of music was second to none and the many comments we received back from our guests reflected this. The vocals from your lead singer were simply stunning. Also, the accompanying disco that you provided for us was absolutely fantastic too and together with the band it made for perfect wedding entertainment. I would have no hesitation in recommending your services. Thanks again and should the opportunity arise I hope to book you again one day."

"Please will you pass on our thanks to all members of Mr Swing’s Dance Orchestra. We have such good memories of our friends having a great time when the swing band was playing and loads of people have been in touch to say how much they enjoyed the music. We really hope to see you perform again in the North West but until then we shall continue enjoying listening to the CD – it has enlivened every car journey since we returned from honeymoon. Many thanks once again."

"We had Igor and Mathew (2 person band - Piano + stand up bass) play during my mother’s 65th birthday celebration at a restaurant with about 80+ guests. I can’t tell you enough how much everyone appreciated and enjoyed their performance and music. They sound so amazing, playing perfectly as the party went on. They played passive jazz with a mix of bossa nova which were a perfect blend for our theme and guests. Igor and his band were very professional, on time, flexible, and very patient with our loud and crowded guests. He is easy to communicate with and is very transparent and clear. Music wise, I couldn’t believe we were able to have this band play for us as they were nothing short from perfect. Amazing people"

"Sarah, you entertain elegantly and sing beautifully and as an accompanist it is a pleasure to work with you. The concert last month was well received by the audience and the programme was spot on! Highly recommended. Alan Briggs"

"This was the second occasion it's been my pleasure to watch Harmonica Lewinsky at the Green Dragon and certainly won't be the last. The venue itself is a good old-fashioned local that, unlike many in the area, hasn't been gentrified but is cosy, friendly and intimate. The trio were absolutely brilliant, put smiles on the faces of everyone present and there was much foot-tapping and singing-along. I look forward to the next time."

"Italian Wedding Band, Marino, where do we even start. We had Marino and the Italian Wedding Band play at our wedding, and they were nothing short of exceptional! From the very first note, they were a complete stand out – they had everyone on the dance floor, and it was impossible not to smile. They brought such a fun, energetic vibe, and their professionalism was clear from the moment they arrived. They truly are entertainers in every sense of the word – they read the room perfectly, created an incredible atmosphere, and even went above and beyond with a special performance for us, which we’ll remember forever. We were running a bit behind on the schedule, but they were so flexible and accommodating, working seamlessly around us to make sure the night flowed beautifully. Thank you so much to Marino and the Italian Wedding Band for making our night so magical – we couldn’t have asked for more!"
