Reviews of 1930s Era Musicians & Bands available in the Netherlands

5/5 from 566 reviews
Photo of Bertram & Kadi DUO Bertram & Kadi DUO "Bertram & Kadi truly tied our tranquil cottage wedding together. Their music created exactly the atmosphere we had hoped for - sweet, playful, and effortlessly elegant. We loved working with them beforehand to put together a setlist of our favourite jazz standards, and they even learned a song without sheet music online so we could listen to our special song on our special day. We couldn't have asked for a more wonderful duo." Based in Amsterdam, North Holland 13th June 2026 Hebo - Private wedding Photo of Black Thursdays Trio Black Thursdays Trio "Great performance! What a fantastic trio! And very nice men. Professional and flexible, highly recommended" Based in The Hague, South Holland 20th March 2026 Raymond - Private Event Photo of Jazz Bands Rotterdam | Jazz Central Agency Jazz Bands Rotterdam | Jazz Central Agency "Everyone was very pleased with your performance. It could definitely have a follow-up in the future. Everything else was arranged perfectly." Translated from Dutch Based in Rotterdam, South Holland 22nd January 2026 Henk Photo of Gradalicious Gradalicious "Very good, our guests are happy with the music and the performance. The atmosphere was very fantastic!" Based in Bussum, North Holland Yuting Cheng - KTS International Exhibition Consulting UG Photo of Marcia Bamberg Swing Quartet Marcia Bamberg Swing Quartet "It was truly a great concert in the Koepel in Heiloo: the Marcia Bamberg Swing Quartet supplemented by two virtuoso musicians: Tim Kliphuis on violin and Mozes Rosenberg on guitar. The band's permanent lead guitarist, John Ligthart, is also a great talent. Daniel Gueli as bassist gives sparkling solid energy to the whole, nothing is too much for him! Ronald Weel is the reliable rhythm guitarist that a band cannot do without and Marcia Bamberg can really sing! What a fine voice and every note is right. She knows what she's doing and the band as a whole brings a nice atmosphere and surprising moments. It was a concert where you don't start thinking about other things for a moment. Perfect!" Based in Obdam, North Holland Irene - Concert Photo of The Happy Feet Orchestra The Happy Feet Orchestra "Good band, nice repertoire and all music is danceable for Lindy Hop/Charleston. Always a fun party when they play. It really gives you happy feet." Based in Pijnacker, South Holland Anette Heijn - public dance
