Review Centre: 1950s Era Musicians & Bands

"We were delighted with the 19Sixties at our joint 70th birthday party at the Bishops Palace in Wells last Saturday. We are renowned for our parties so you had a tough act to follow but you created a great atmosphere and everyone thought the music was fantastic. It was especially good for me as you kindly allowed me to run through a couple of songs in advance of the party so I could re-live my youth as an aged rocker. This made it special for me and I’d like to thank you, Garf and Wayne for accommodating me in such a welcoming fashion. Well done and I have no hesitation in recommending you for similar events. Best wishes Peter Rowntree"

"Sue and I cannot praise you and your wonderful swing band enough. We have organised many prestigious balls and dinner dances over the years and we have hired some of the finest dance bands in the country but we can truly say that Mr Swing’s Dance Orchestra is the best we have ever used. It was absolutely magical, thank you. We are so so overwhelmed with gratitude to you for the evening because you absolutely made it. We would recommend you to anyone in the World; we already have a few people in mind. Comments from the guests included “The best band I have ever heard” and “What a fabulous band!” Not only were the musicians excellent but more importantly they all enjoyed playing which made for a wonderfully warm and welcoming atmosphere. It was a pleasure meeting you Matthew and a privilege to listen to your wonderful band which helped to make the evening very special indeed."

"We got married in France (Loire Valley) in June this year and Mike was amazing. Mike played on the chateau grounds as our guests starting arriving, through to our reception drinks after the ceremony. Mike also played a beautiful rendition of 'la vie en rose' as I walked down the aisle, it was truly perfect. I heard nothing but positive comments from my friends and family. His performance and setlist really did make the wedding day such a perfect day, setting the ambiance just right. The process of booking Mike was so easy with very good and fast communication, nothing was too much bother. Mike is a very friendly and talented person and it was lovely to meet him."

"Mike's roaming accordion playing fitted in absolutely perfectly with our event. Our company recently started working with French banks, so we decided to go with this theme for our monthly update. We had the decoration and food, but we wanted something to tie it all together. Mike came in, was perfectly dressed in matching attire and performed some beautiful music that everybody loved. It tied everything together perfectly and in the end we were very pleased. I'm sure he'll be gracing many people's Instagrams over the next day or so!"

"The employees at our Holiday Party were very impressed with how well Greg Miller did "young" Elvis since everyone does the jumpsuit Elvis and they very much enjoyed his presence. Greg did not stay up on stage and perform, he came down into the audience and gave everyone a great show!"

"We were lucky enough to book Leon for my nephew and his bride's wedding night at the weekend as a surprise for them both. Leon was a great and prompt communicator via email, sending me his repertoire so we could pick what songs we preferred. Leon had to travel on the Saturday bank holiday weekend from Harrogate to Sunderland and he was all set up prompt to start the exact time we had requested. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed his music, he even sang a song I had enquired if he could possibly sing which was not on his repertoire for a bride and mother dance which he kindly was able to sing and the bride was over the moon!!! I would definitely recommend Leon for any function as there was a wide variety of ages and he sang songs that would suit everyone. Thanks Leon, we really appreciated you helping to make their special day!"

"I have worked with Tom for a while now, both as a crooner, recording covers (sometimes better than the original) and a solo original artist recording his own music. His voice blew us away the very first time we heard it. With a fantastic talent and a firm, 'head screwed on' type manner that he brings to all aspects of his work, he really is a treat to work with. He is professional, always smartly dressed, talented, but above all, a fantastic character to work with. A genuinely nice guy. I look forward to seeing what the future brings for the fantastic Tom Fitzpatrick."

"1) clear approach regarding orchestra composition, repertoire, costs and contact person 2) musicians are of North Sea Jazz level, but other than that they know how to feel the atmosphere of the "party" well 3) success assured"

"We chose to book Hitchen Jazz Trio for our daughters wedding, in Eindhoven Holland, after hearing them play at another event, here in Holland. They travelled 1000 kilometres for our special day, and they were simply INCREDIBLE! Thanx guys! "
