"We hired The Crotchet for our wedding reception and couldn't have been happier. They were a lovely group of guys, responsive and reliable leading up to the day and very professional in their performance. It set the perfect mood. In addition, we asked them to learn an extra song for us with short notice, which they did, and it was greatly appreciated! Thanks guys"

"A Masterclass in Professional Saxophone & Performance! If you are looking for top-tier musical professionalism, this is an absolute must-hire. As a retired Army musician with over 30 years of experience, Chris brings a level of discipline, talent, and "class" that is rare to find. His expertise shines through in every note, whether performing traditional jazz, swing, or beautiful holiday classics. Chris’s soulful saxophone work—clearly influenced by greats like John Coltrane—is the highlight of the performance. He is incredibly versatile, having performed at everything from intimate weddings and private parties to military ceremonies and international concerts across the US and South America. What makes this act stand out is the sheer reliability and adaptability. He arrives early, provides professional sound and lighting systems, and is happy to tailor the repertoire to include specific client requests. Whether you need sophisticated background music for a corporate gala or a lively performance for a celebration, Chris delivers a flawless, high-quality show every time. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a truly polished, world-class musician!"

"Fan Club Jazz Band were brilliant. Harrison and Dani were fantastic and just perfect in helping to create a great atmosphere for Mum and Dad's 25th Wedding Anniversary party. They were so friendly and professional and played a perfect varied playlist. It was just as well Harrison left a few business cards as so many of our guests asked where had we found such a wonderful band! I couldn't recommend them more! Thank you!"

"We found Camille a short while before our big day as we decided on live music for our sit down meal instead of a playlist. This was one of the best decisions we made for our big day. From start to finish Camille was super friendly, professional and kind. Most of all, she listened. She took the time to get to know us a couple and the vision we had for the day. It felt like we knew her before the big day came around. When it came to the sit down meal, Camille was attentive to the mood. We had a young child at the wedding who was getting a bit restless so Camille simply adjusted the volume of the backing track and her microphone and continued like it was nothing. So many of our guests were complimenting Camille’s vocals: these sound EVEN better in person. I’ll always remember dancing into the room to Camille’s vocals with my new hubby on my arm and catching a moment across the room with Camille whilst singing away to the music. Thank you for everything 🤍"

"Yve has a very distinctive voice, and for someone of such small stature, the sound she makes is huge. I first came across Yve at a local festival, and she immediately won me over with her soulful bluesy sound. Since then I have seen her perform both as a solo artist and with a full band, and she never fails to impress. In fact every time you see her, you're reminded of exactly what it is you love about her. Off of the stage she's friendly and approachable and a pleasure to work with. She's easily one of the best female vocals I've heard in quite some time, and I'm glad that I found this jewel in the Norfolk countryside. I can't put into words just how good she is, you'll have to listen for yourself, but I can pretty much guarantee that you won't be disappointed! - Jon Seymour"

"This band is amazing!! Even with all the weather issues we had, they stayed around and, after it stopped, did some great sets for us. They were very accommodating and helped us make announcements when needed. They made our event so great. The music choice was right on par for our celebration. Thank you for such a great job!!"

"Aden and Simon were fabulous and suited the tone of our corporate dinner at the Adelaide Oval perfectly. They took the time to understand the demographic and match the tone of the group, which was greatly appreciate. Also an absolute pleasure to work with in the lead-up to the event and on the day. Will reach out again when I have another suitable group bound for Adelaide."

"Cecilia helped with a surprise proposal. We discussed everything well in advance, she responded quickly and was very kind. She waited for us at the agreed place and time, played the guitar wonderfully and sang our favorite songs that we had discussed in advance, it was very touching. I am grateful to her for making the proposal go so well."

"We had the joy of taking Fanfare Express for our wedding, and they were excellent. They are well adapted to difficult conditions: capricious weather, delayed schedule as a result, ... And they created a magnificent atmosphere which delighted all the guests and especially us. Modern repertoire that had everyone spinning at the cocktail party."

"Our experience with Igor was perfect! My wife and I hired Igor to play saxophone during our wedding cocktail hour and dinner service. Igor is a true professional. He played beautifully and really set the tone for the celebration. Our wedding venue team was chaotic, and we were lucky that our vendors were so prepared and cool under pressure, Igor included. Igor brought his own set up and was so relaxed— we never worried. He was also wonderful to talk to and we wish we could have had a longer conversation at the reception."

"Ant was the perfect choice for singing at our wedding; he is a very talented musician and song writer. We wanted someone that would really make the day personal to us, someone that was easy to work with and whose music everyone would enjoy. He was able to work all the music we requested into our ceremony seamlessly, was very professional, and he made us feel at ease and that everything was in hand. I could not recommend him enough to someone who is looking for a personal touch to their wedding. Thank you so much Anthony! "
