"A nice voice and a very understated and carefree delivery. Not enough cats can just Fred Astaire their way through a song."
The Waltzing Matildas
"We asked Valerie Hudson of the Waltzing Matilda’s to play piano and sing at the Celebration of Life ceremony for my wife’s mother. The event was to celebrate the 99 years of her life. It was a very uplifting and emotional event and Valerie’s renditions of jazz tunes including I Will Always Love You, Smile, Wonderful World, Blue Sky, I’ll be Seeing You and others were very well done and added immensely to the celebration. Thanks Valerie!"

Marcia Bamberg Swing Quartet
"What a fantastic performance after a wonderful day of workshops. I learned a lot and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Marcia sings beautifully and has a wonderful stage presence, really bringing the stories to life.
Her voice and storytelling are beautifully supported by the incredibly talented musicians John, Ronald, Daniel and Christiaan, each of whom captivates the audience from beginning to end with wonderful solos and tight rhythm guitar playing.
Wonderful music, a wonderful band, and it’s lovely to see how much fun you all have playing together. You’ve gained a new fan!"
