Fleur Stevenson Jazz Duo/Trio/Quartet
"We used Fleur and team for the cocktail part of the evening and it was good background entertainment. Fleur has a great tone. I also saw her at a smaller party and she did a good job then."

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)."
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"
Elite Syncopations
"Just to say thank you for your beautiful playing on Saturday.. It was just what I wanted and made a perfect background to the evening. We were so lucky to have such good weather that our guests could be outside all evening."
Jazz And The Tonics
"Jazz and the Tonics came and performed at Leith's at Beaulieu for a corporate event on the 28th July 2018. They were professional and friendly to deal with and not only that but were AMAZING performers. Emily's voice is just out of this world with everyone complementing her. I would 100% recommend Jazz & The Tonics to other corporates or wedding parties."
