Photo of Twilight Twilight "We saw the Tom Harvey Trio at the Penny Royal for an intimate jazz night. Some of the best live jazz music I've seen in Cardiff! Can't wait to see them perform again" Based in Bristol, England (12 miles from Bath) Adam M - Venue event Photo of Hopkins & Oliver Hopkins & Oliver "Such a lovely experience. They were fantastic and professional. Just perfect for our drinks party. I’d highly recommend them." Based in Bristol, England (12 miles from Bath) Lisa Palmer - Party Photo of Swing from Paris Swing from Paris "Last evening attendees to the to the Goods Shed in Tetbury were privileged to a spectacular Swing Jazz performance by this truly spectacular and accomplished group of guys. They are all very talented musicians that literally make their instruments talk. I couldn’t take my eyes off the guitarist playing the Gibson to whom nothing was beyond his skill set. My final observation was the obvious visual enjoyment the whole group derived from their music. A real pleasure to observe. Thank every one of you so much fun an enjoyable evening, hopefully soon to be repeated." Based in Cotswolds, England (39 miles from Bath) Colin Porter - Local concert Photo of Kevin Hill Jnr Kevin Hill Jnr "Hi Kevin, I just thought I would post a comment on your guestbook after your fabulous entertainment for our party. The music and singing was fantastic – as you know the dance floor was never empty! Keep on singing Kevin – you are great! Thank you. Veronica & Brian" Based in Ferndown, England (44 miles from Bath) Veronica & Brian - Wedding Anniversary Photo of Add Hock Add Hock "Feet tapped, eyes shone, hands clapped and hips and heads rolled as the brilliance of the great song writers Gershwin, Porter, Warren, Berlin and others became the hymns of this Saturday evening. But light-hearted as most of the music was, there was contrast in the emotive classic 'Every Time we say Goodbye' sung by the nightingale Gaylene Parish (close your eyes and it was Ella Fitzgerald)." Based in Newbury, England (45 miles from Bath) Alan Dowding, for the Hailey Herald - Concert Photo of Murielefrenchsinger Murielefrenchsinger "It was a pleasure having Muriele Frenchsinger perform at this year's Concours des Légendes at Wilton. Her set was a great addition to the event, and she brought a lovely atmosphere that our guests really enjoyed. Muriele is professional, easy to work with, and a talented vocalist. I would highly recommend." Based in Winchester, England (50 miles from Bath) 24th August 2026 Geoff Love - Concours des Legendes Wilton House
