1920s Era Musicians & Bands for Hire in Jersey

"We hired Julie and her jazz band to perform at our 1920's Speakeasy client appreciation event and we're pleased we did! Our clients loved bring able to let loose and try out their best attempt at the Charleston! Julie was easy to work with throughout the planning process and helpful in providing her recommendations. If you're looking for some great era entertainment for a wedding or corporate event, I certainly recommend The Kensie Jazz Band!"

"Great meeting [the musicians]. Both [singer] and guitar/harmonica player were excellent! "

"The perfect band for a party. Amuse Manouche performed at my leaving party at Murray Edwards College, Cambridge University, when I retired as President. I think almost every guest complimented me on the music. Beautiful vocals and a wonderful swing sound of the 1920s to 1940s. Amuse Manouche helped to create a relaxing vibe to the party while ensuring they never drowned out the conversation."

"The Lewis Barfoot Jazz Quintet delivers amazing performances. The ensemble demonstrated a deep understanding of both the jazz and swing tradition and the soul of live interpretation, balancing technical precision with an inviting sense of spontaneity. Lewis's leadership was evident throughout, with singing that was confident yet understated, allowing space for all the musician voices to shine.There was an unmistakable sense of enjoyment and mutual respect on stage, which translated directly to the audience.

Tempos, dynamics, and phrasing were handled with care, ensuring the music was not only enjoyable to listen to but also perfectly suited to the dance floor. Beyond the performance itself, the professional approach stood out throughout the entire process. Communication was clear and reliable from the initial booking through to the end of the event, making the experience smooth and stress-free. Overall, the Lewis Barfoot Jazz Quintet combined high-quality musicianship with professionalism and thoughtful consideration for their audience, resulting in a thoroughly successful event."

"We couldn’t be happier that we chose Maria for our wedding reception. Maria brought a magic, glamour, and old Hollywood style charm to our big day that is hard to put into words. Not only is she a hugely talented singer and saxophonist, but she also has an amazing stage presence - she added so much to our special day. From our first telephone call with her it was clear that she really cared about our vision for our big day, and her performance was beyond our wildest expectations. It was so wonderful to see our guests out on the floor enjoying Maria's performance, and two months later they are still commenting about how fabulous she was, and how much she added to their enjoyment of our day. Thank you Mara from the bottom of our hearts. Dee & Shea ❤️ xoxo"

"What can I say? Thanks so much for making everything so easy. You showed up on time, unlike us, you looked great and the music was exactly what I wanted! Brilliant!"
