It was an superb evening and I will be back." Based in Southampton, England, United Kingdom (255 miles from Nantes) Eddie Harper, Stamford Photo of Amuse Manouche Amuse Manouche "Well what can we say!?……thank you from the bottom of our hearts for providing such a fantastic set. Despite the down pour (we’re saying it added to the day :) ) your playing and vocals were really special. You blew everyone away!" Based in Brighton, England, United Kingdom (258 miles from Nantes) Nicola Elliott - Private Event Photo of French Jazz/ Piaf French Jazz/ Piaf "Working in the music industry myself for over 30 years now with many artists, I can honestly say Sam stands out amongst them as being one of the most talented and original. I believe Sam would be a great choice for any musical endeavors or projects anyone had in mind and could bring a wealth of experience as well as a fresh and original perspective to the creative mixing pot."

If you’re looking for a jazz trio, I cannot praise Sara Oschlag Trio enough. Highly recommend booking these guys!"

We had so many positive guest comments and feedback that we just had to book them again for this New Years. With a great variety of songs, interaction with the crowd and very smartly dressed what more could you want! Excellent musicians and certainly a band that we will be recommending for future events that The Headland organise and also for our clients weddings and corporate events."
