5/5 from 579 reviews
Photo of Five Star Swing Five Star Swing "Just returned from the show at Stamford this evening 22 Nov. Outstanding musical ability, total enthusiasm and hard work, which produced a sound which defied any attempt to keep your hands or feet from moving! They love their music and it showed. It was an superb evening and I will be back." Based in Southampton, England Eddie Harper, Stamford Photo of Pink Champagne Duo / Trio / Quartet Pink Champagne Duo / Trio / Quartet "Absolutely brilliant! Contact from the start was quick, and all ideas were discussed. Pink Champagne brought everything they needed for the gig, and set up by themselves. The music was enjoyed by all. I would 100% recommend and use them again!! Thank you Pink Champagne!" Based in Fareham, England Francesca Tucker - D-Day Community Fete Photo of Murielefrenchsinger Murielefrenchsinger "It was a pleasure having Muriele Frenchsinger perform at this year's Concours des Légendes at Wilton. Her set was a great addition to the event, and she brought a lovely atmosphere that our guests really enjoyed. Muriele is professional, easy to work with, and a talented vocalist. I would highly recommend." Based in Winchester, England 24th August 2026 Geoff Love - Concours des Legendes Wilton House Photo of Harry Bassett - Trumpeter Harry Bassett - Trumpeter "Having worked with and booked Harry on a number of musical projects and events, I only have the very highest praise for him. Not only is he one of the most accomplished musicians I’ve ever worked with (and I run a band of 48 members!), he is an astute professional with an excellent attitude and strong interpersonal skills. I couldn’t recommend him enough and you will only be “blown” away if you hire him!!" Based in Bordon, England Mischa Weston-Green - Mischa & His Merry Men Photo of Add Hock Add Hock "Feet tapped, eyes shone, hands clapped and hips and heads rolled as the brilliance of the great song writers Gershwin, Porter, Warren, Berlin and others became the hymns of this Saturday evening. But light-hearted as most of the music was, there was contrast in the emotive classic 'Every Time we say Goodbye' sung by the nightingale Gaylene Parish (close your eyes and it was Ella Fitzgerald)." Based in Newbury, England Alan Dowding, for the Hailey Herald - Concert Photo of Jen Merchant Jen Merchant "Dear Jen, Wow, what can I say to express how much Tony and I enjoyed our Wedding Reception… The afternoon champagne reception and your evening's entertainment set were both excellent - everyone has commented how much they enjoyed you’re your singing. "Best wedding singer ever" is one of the many comments that people keep repeating, you made our day so special. You looked absolutely stunning, the music was perfect, both sets. Lot's of our guests have asked me where I found you! I hope you are delighted with so many positive, heartfelt comments. We would have no hesitation in recommending you to everyone we know. When I initially spoke to you on the 'phone, you were so helpful and confident that you could provide what I wanted... and you certainly did. Thank you for helping to make our day so memorable. I run Hotels for a living and have booked many acts in my time, I really wanted that perfect sound for our wedding, I you pulled it off, including or first dance by Etta James. I hope to have another excuse to enjoy your company again in the not too distant future and book you all over again" Based in Aldershot, England Suzanne and Tony - Wedding

The 1920s era musicians & bands specialise in the sounds of the Roaring Twenties, including hot jazz, Dixieland, Charleston and ragtime.

Hiring 1920s era musicians & bands is a popular choice for Gatsby and prohibition-themed parties, vintage weddings, corporate dinners and cocktail receptions. The elegant, upbeat style of 1920s music works especially well as both background entertainment and a main performance to get guests dancing.

Many 1920s era musicians & bands offer the option of performing in 1920s-style attire, such as flapper dresses, pinstripe suits and fedoras. This can add an extra layer of authenticity to themed events. It is worth discussing costume options with the performers when making an enquiry.
