Gajè Gipsy Swing
"Nothing but compliments for this band! They created such a lively vibe for our welcome party, no request was an issue, even played on in the dark when we had lighting issues. Our day was a whirlwind of activity as we arrived and organised everything for our 3 day event but it was so lovely that our welcome party was exactly what we had imagined thanks to them."
Matteo Cristofori
"Working with Matteo was an outstanding experience. He is an exceptionally talented musician, with a refined and distinctive musical personality. His performance was expressive and engaging, and he brought a high level of professionalism and preparation to the entire project.
Matteo was reliable, collaborative, and extremely professional throughout. We would be very happy to work with him again and highly recommend him for concerts and musical events."
Sunny Side Trio

Just FM Dixie Band
"We had the absolute pleasure of having FM Dixie perform at our daughter’s wedding in Italy. They were outstanding!
Their music and entertainment was such a highlight for the day for the entire group. This is how they were used throughout the day for our event:
• Greeting the shuttle vans with wedding guests as they all arrived at the Castello
• Escorting the group up from the drop off location across the path and across the drawbridge to the Castello
• Entertaining guests during a brief pause for prosecco until it was time to escort guests to the ceremony location (Castello terrace)
• Following the ceremony, escorting guests from the terrace to the location for the aperitifs/welcome buffet (opposite end of the Castello by the pool)
• Music throughout the aperitifs/welcome buffet for a couple of hours.
• Escorting guests when it was time from the location by the pool up to the Castello courtyard for dinner
FM Dixie were fantastic in the quality of their music and in how well they entertain, adapt and engage with the wedding guests! They exceeded our expectations in all respects.
Thank you to the wonderful FM Dixie quintet that added so much magic to our event!"
