Photo of La Bonne Melodie La Bonne Melodie "It was a fantastic evening and you were very very well received by the audience." Based in Beverley, England (24 miles from Grimsby) 13th October 2026 Carole - French Cabaret Evening as part fo a Music Festival Photo of Dr Jazz Dr Jazz "Thank you all so much for your amazing performance on Saturday evening, which was everything I could have hoped for! Your music was brilliant, got everyone up dancing and I can’t tell you how many people told me afterwards ‘how brilliant the 1920s band were’. As soon as you played your first song I knew we’d struck gold! It couldn’t have been more perfect given the whole Gatsby theme and everyone so dressed up, so thank you all so much. You may be interested to know that we raised an astonishing £7,000 on the night! With just 96 people in the room…amazing! Thanks again Matthew and I’ll not hesitate to recommend you if anyone should ask me for a fabulous 20’s Jazz Band!" Based in York, England (49 miles from Grimsby) Gayle Wharton - Charity Ball - Lincolnshire 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 (55 miles from Grimsby) June Hoggett - Private 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 (59 miles from Grimsby) Jenny Garrett - Corporate Celebration Photo of Martin Benjamin Martin Benjamin "Fabulous entertainment our guests loved you. Thank you very much Martin" Based in Nottingham, England (61 miles from Grimsby) Kathryn W - Wedding drinks reception Photo of Lucienne de Ville Lucienne de Ville "I love her cabaret.
