You really got the party started (your words lol) Thanks again 💚😊" Based in Ashford, England Keith - MacMillan Mayhem Photo of Roger Lewin Piano Roger Lewin Piano "It was a very worthwhile booking. Roger, Phil and Sarah-Jane provided our Group with great music that afternoon. Highly recommended" Based in Gillingham, England 1st December 2025 Will Buckle - MS SOCIETY LUNCH Photo of Decatur Street Jazz Decatur Street Jazz "Rosie was an absolute star. She was technically brilliant (beautiful voice) and when she was let down by the sound system completed her set unaccompanied. Her professionalism and un-flappability in the face of difficulty was very impressive. Would strongly recommend."

She really made the event even more special. Great voice, and very prompt and professional at rehearsals and on the day. Would recommend to anyone getting married!"
