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."
Amar Corda
"Absolutely great band and nice people! They played for the aperitivo of our wedding party. All our guests where talking about them! Will book them again when I have an opportunity."
Catch Up Trio
"Simply fantastic! Splendid musical group. Musicians of high level and professionalism but, at the same time, sociable, able to grasp the atmosphere of the moment and accompany us in moments of fun, a perfect combination. The trio is decidedly oriented towards experimentation and improvisation and yet the result that derives from it never appears awkward or difficult to listen to. Very good, thank you I will definitely contact you again."
Swing Groupe de Musique
"Francesco and his band were amazing! It was so magical having them play for our Tuscan wedding celebrations. They created the perfect ambience and played beautifully! We couldn’t be happier and they made our day very special and memorable! Great communication, wonderful performance- we’d highly recommend them for any occasion. Thank you so much!"
Ferdi Argenti
"What Ferdie can do that nobody else does (to the extent that
he does it) is sing his heart out, and then play his heart out--
his vocal and instrumental expressions are equally strong. It's
not like he's trying to get a gig at the local Holiday Inn lounge,
no!--he belongs in the concert hall!
Larry Coryell (from the liner notes to "Look for the silver lining" album by Ferdinando Argenti"
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!"
