Review Centre: 1940s Era Musicians & Bands

"Beauty Shop Dolls did a spectacular performance for my daughters wedding. They are talented and professional with beautiful voices. They dance, sing, entertain, do it all. We even got a little 1920s dance lesson. Really made the atmosphere memorable because it's not the usual DJ you expect at a wedding. Everyone enjoyed it from the little ones to us older folk."

"What a great band We were looking for live music for during the ceremony and dinner. The Jazz Centrale delivered exactly what we wanted. The music was wonderful and it really stood out once it was no longer there. We received many compliments from guests. “What a great band!” we heard often, and we completely agree! "

"Parisienne Café Ambiance! As we hosted a concert in January 2023, with a special tribute to the famous 1950s French singer Edith Piaf, we wanted to recreate a unique 1950s Parisian café atmosphere in the hall and we called upon Euro Café Duo to animate this one-time café. Our audience was delighted by their music, and we spent a wonderful evening to which they greatly contributed. We thank them for both their talent and professionalism and wish them every success. "

"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."

"What a treat to have The Texas Gypsies play our wedding. We wanted classic music and styles that people of all ages could dance to. They did a fantastic job, and we heard so many compliments from our guests--many of whom were musicians as well. Several people liked the band enough that they bought CDs, too. The Texas Gypsies even let my Dad play a little number. Very sweet. You can't go wrong with this band!"

"Thoroughly enjoyed We and our guests thoroughly enjoyed your performance. I myself, but also the other musicians among our guests, were impressed with the quality of your playing, and your enthusiasm was very much appreciated. You responded beautifully to our needs and contributed significantly to the success of our celebration. We hope you can join us again next time! "

"Harmonica Lewinsky, half musician, half comedian, can't be filed easily under any one genre. There are no "rawk" anthems or jangly pop toons to guide you to a familiar sense of comfy numbness you may well be used to in your local music venue. Instead, you get a proper show. Someone - that's Phil Leiwy, crazy alchemist of alter-ego Lewinsky - has taken it upon himself to create a crisp set of upbeat, rhythmic gems played on guitar (choppy, jazzy, mellow), vocals (smooth, welcoming) and of course, a boxload of harmonicas (swanky, tuneful, engaging). But words alone seem unable to explain why, after a HL gig, you go home feeling as if you have been crane-lifted out of a ditch... If you haven't seen HL play, go and see for yourself, and let the performance into your life. Careful listening really helps: the lyrics to many of Phil's songs - including Gordon Brown (to the tune of the Stranglers' "Golden Brown") - are wry, clever and occasionally rude. Lovers of X-Factor stability or other social brainwashing techniques may leave feeling confused."

"15:08 Lorraine and the Flames are hands down one of the best groups I've heard in a long time. We were hosting an outdoor Jazz and BBQ evening and the guys couldn't have been more amazing! The music was perfect and Lorraine's voice is sublime. They set the atmosphere and mood from the moment they started, and so many of our guests commented on how wonderful they were. Thank you so much Lorraine and the Flames for a perfect evening. We look forward to working with you all again in the future. Freya"
