Photo of Saxygordon Saxygordon "Well done Saxyordon kept everyone happy , from young to old is there anthing you can't play , well worth the money great job 👏" Based in Sheffield, England (17 miles from Doncaster) Lisa Morgan - Birthday party Photo of The L A Jazz Band The L A Jazz Band "Following a huge achievement of winning a prestigious industry award, we arranged for a secret day of celebrations for our 100 employees at our offices. We arranged for the LA Jazz Band to kick off the celebrations by entering our office playing the most energetic and uplifting music which was a wonderful surprise to staff who eagerly jumped up out of their seats to follow the marching band and dance their way around the office. The place was 'buzzing' everyone LOVED it. We had numerous surprises for everyone but the LA Jazz band was by far the highlight and what people remember the most about the day. They are fantastic. You can't help but get up on your feet and dance along. We will definitely be hiring them again for future events - we can't wait for them to play for us again! (10 / 10)" Based in Wakefield, England (19 miles from Doncaster) Jenny Garrett - Corporate Celebration Photo of Mr Swing's Dance Orchestra Mr Swing's Dance Orchestra "We just wanted to drop you a quick message to say thank you so much for being such a fantastic part of our wedding last week! We have lost count of the number of guests who commented on how fantastic you all were, both on the night itself and in messages afterwards. The atmosphere was exactly as we had hoped it would be. We can’t think of a better way that we could have gotten all of the different people from all walks of our lives up and dancing all night! Dexter particularly isn’t much of a dancer so I hope you do take it as the high praise that it is that he was on the dance floor for so much of the evening. We also just wanted to say a massive thank you for being so flexible with the timings and playing later than planned without any issue. Hope the rest of the wedding season continues to be such a success. Thanks so much again." Based in Tadcaster, England (25 miles from Doncaster) Helen & Dexter - Wedding - Tyne & Wear Photo of Ukulele Eric Ukulele Eric "We had Eric at a family party for my brother who was 60, his children and grandchildren attended so it was a mixed age group, Eric was very friendly and explained which instruments he was playing on, which he did very well. He has a varied list of songs and kept us entertained while he was there, some people carried on talking but later they said it was good to have some background entertainment, I would certainly recommend Eric to liven up any party, thank you so much for attending ours." Based in Mansfield, England (27 miles from Doncaster) June Hoggett - Private birthday party Photo of Lucienne de Ville Lucienne de Ville "I love her cabaret. It’s always a great night out., entertaining and uplifting I go as often as possible."
