5/5 from 782 reviews
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 (43 miles from Middlesbrough) Gayle Wharton - Charity Ball - Lincolnshire 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." Based in Shipley, England (56 miles from Middlesbrough) Liz Stead 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 (60 miles from Middlesbrough) 13th October 2026 Carole - French Cabaret Evening as part fo a Music Festival 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 (63 miles from Middlesbrough) Jenny Garrett - Corporate Celebration Photo of Howard Haigh Howard Haigh "He’s a precision musician with a vivid imagination" Based in Lancaster, England (73 miles from Middlesbrough) Dennis Kilcommons - Huddersfield Examiner 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 (86 miles from Middlesbrough) 18th September 2026 Sarah - Funeral
