What a fantastically talented group." Based in Kilkenny, Leinster, Ireland Barry - Passer by Photo of Almaz & All That Jazz Almaz & All That Jazz "We booked Almaz for a Charity event held at The Virgin Money Lounge in Manchester. They were extremely professional, arriving on time to set up and tune up. Their set created the perfect atmosphere for the day. They are both exceptionally talented and do a lovely repertoire of both originals and covers. I couldn't rate them any higher or I would have. Thanks again for all your support!" Based in Chester, England Taisie Brennand-Carter - Virgin Money Lounge Photo of Trumpet for events Trumpet for events "Many people came up to me after the service saying how genuinely touched they were by your performance. My Uncle and my Dad were sat behind me during the service and you literally reduced them both to tears. I have never seen either of them cry before. It was extremely moving, your performance was beautiful and perfect. Rob would have absolutley loved it. Thank you much for performing for us and for your professionalism and sympathy. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone" Based in Manchester, England 18th September 2026 Sarah - Funeral Photo of The Easy Rollers The Easy Rollers "We couldn’t have been happier with the band who made it such a special night.
