"Last night I met up with some pals down at the very hospitable Mermaid Inn to check out the latest musical venture of the great Harmonica Lewinsky. We’ve always been highly entertained by his music hall/cockney act and indeed his 60s/70s cover material, but this was to be something of a completely different flavour – a country/ western swing experience! Launching into ‘Glendale Train’, Lewinsky and his band, The Highway Patrol, soon had the place rocking. The sound of finger pickin’ Dzal Martin’s Telecaster was the perfect accompaniment and upright bass player Ewan Penkey’s rhythm proved that no drummer was required. As well as rockers such as ‘Panama Red’, ‘Folsom Prison Blues’ and the brilliant tongue-twisting ‘Hot Rod Lincoln’, Lewinsky and the boys were also able to deliver truly 'hurtin' & heartbreaking' melancholy classics such as Warren Zevon’s ‘Carmelita’ and Kenny Rogers’ ‘Ruby’. Their touching version of Commander Cody’s ‘Seeds & Stems Blues’, featuring the wonderful pedal-steel guitar playing of John Davis, (who had been impeccable all evening) had me almost crying into my pretzels. Personality and humour has always been an important part of Harmonica Lewinsky’s act and, with his usual banter and rapport, he certainly didn’t let us down. We particularly enjoyed the tongue-in cheek ‘All My Exes Live in Texas’. Thanks for a great night, boys – we look forward to the next time."

"I had this band play at my wedding the other Saturday and they were amazing! Even though we just had the 3 piece band (2 guitars and bass) they sounded amazing and everyone loved them! Fitted perfectly with our venue and relaxed style of wedding. The guys were superb and very professional and I didn't have to worry about them at all. I even got time to stand there and appreciate them for awhile :) Would highly recommend these guys!"

"The band performed for my daughter’s wedding and they absolutely blew us away. They were totally professional, did every song requested and even learned an old family favourite. We will be forever grateful and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them in a heartbeat."

"Here the quartet were exceptional, everyone liked the choice of music and being swing allowed us to dance during the performance. The musicians were super professional and friendly and the singer's voice was amazing! good choice! Now we have entrusted the musical performance to our capo and it is an original and appreciated idea!"

"We can’t thank Blue Moon Jazz enough! They really made our wedding with their wonderful music. We couldn’t be more happy. Our guests could not stop talking about the music and the atmosphere their music created. The band played a collection of jazz music during our aperitivo and it was our favourite part of the day. We could have listened to them for hours more! Raphael also played the piano as our guests arrived and played the two songs we requested for our ceremony entrance and exit. At no point did any request seem like too much of an ask! Raphael was very communicative and we trusted him throughout the whole process (we are from the UK and so liaised over email until the wedding day). I couldn’t recommend booking Blue Moon Jazz anymore, they truly made our wedding! "
