"Dimitris Bako Quartet was exceptional. The night was so cosy, the full moon and the music blend together so well. This band is a must!!! Thank you!"

"Mixed Bag is aptly named! Their musical style is varied (from classic jazz standards to modern favorites with a smooth beat). The members jive uniquely with one another and engage with the crowd without forcing their presence. We were in an upscale wine bar and the tempo and volume matched the atmosphere perfectly. Mixed Bag would add life to any gathering, large or small!"

"I booked the jazz band to play at my wedding in August after listening to their music online. We were not disappointed! The music was simply perfect and Ed was so helpful leading up to the day. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone. "

"Wonderful to hear live jazz from a group of young, spontaneous and polished performers. Great rapport between the players and with the audience. Loved the energetic and stylish scat singing and instrumental solos, and it’s doubly great to have been in the audience of a live recording."

"Hi Melissa, Apologies for the delay in sending a thank you for your wonderful singing at our Golden Wedding Anniversary ‘Do’. Everybody thoroughly enjoyed it and George and I had a fabulous time. The feedback we have received from our friends and family was truly amazing. Hope to see you soon. Thanks again."

"We chose Bella Swing Band because they looked and sounded like a class act online- and they were on our wedding day! Hetty was professional and friendly from the off and met with me at the venue to discuss the event. The P.A. system being offered by my venue wasn't suitable for a band and Hetty sourced a suitable one at a better price. The band did 3 x 45 minutes sets of brilliant stuff, including all of our requests and Hetty did a playlist of my choosing for the intervals. The band are talented and trained musicians who charge a fair price for their services. All the guests had a good dance and have since sung their praises to me. They were the perfect band, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them and we look forward to seeing them again soon"

"Incredibly grateful I'm incredibly grateful to Kars and his band for making our evening incredibly special - our dinners guests were amazed by the performance and the professionalism of the band. Our honourary guest was extremely pleased to hear his favourite songs being performed live especially for him. The overall experience from the first contact with Kars to evening of the performance was great. Thank you so much!"

"The Crotchet Club played at our wedding and were absolutely fantastic. Their performance was amazing and really got everyone dancing. Their customer service was also brilliant, they were very responsive over email and were happy to accommodate our requests. On top of that they were really lovely people. They are great and would not hesitate to book them again."

"We hired The L.A. Jazz Band to perform at our street party event which we were filming for a digital television brand. They were highly professional and easy going to work with as well as brilliant musicians individually and as a band. The street crowd loved their jaunty, uplifting and perfectly orchestrated songs. They’re lovely men with great energy and we would highly recommend them to play at any party event/ live music event or filming production. (10 / 10) "

"Looking round at the audience I noticed most were tapping their feet or bobbing their head to the trio’s first number! Expert rhythm guitar, clean and swift lead and the all important swing of the bass saw several dancers on the small wooden floored area trying to keep up with the fast rhythm. Classics like Caravan and Limehouse Blues had the diners applauding appreciatively. Two hours of music, with a short break to let your feet have a rest the band finished with a flawless rendition of Sweet Georgia Brown. Sadly the evening was over for the music, but I was assured they will return, and I shall be there again giving support for these talented men!!"

"I wholeheartedly recommend Ciarri for any corporate event, private function or venue seeking sophistication and class, with some sultriness. I have worked with Ciarri on many events and her artistry consistently elevated each occasion, leaving lasting impressions on our guests. Her performances—whether on the iconic rooftop of Hotel Raphaël or the exclusive Cité de l'architecture et du patrimoine with panoramic Eiffel Tower views—were warm, unforgettable and stylish at every setting. Ciarri's professionalism, reliability and meticulous attention to detail made her a valued partner and why I worked with her time and time again. Any organization would be fortunate to collaborate with such a dedicated, versatile, and inspiring performer."

"I felt I must write to thank you for the part you played in making the ball so successful. I have had many telephone calls since and everyone says it was the best event they have ever been to at Elland Road. I am fully aware that without your help this would not necessarily have been the case. I could not have wished for a better start to my testimonial year."
