5/5 from 624 reviews
Photo of The Boogiemen The Boogiemen "We loved the band and our guests were very impressed by the music. I can definitely recommend them to anyone looking for music for their next party." Translated from German Based in Hamburg, Germany (179 miles from Århus) Verena Herbst - Privat Party Photo of Marcia Bamberg Swing Quartet Marcia Bamberg Swing Quartet "What a fantastic performance after a wonderful day of workshops. I learned a lot and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Marcia sings beautifully and has a wonderful stage presence, really bringing the stories to life. Her voice and storytelling are beautifully supported by the incredibly talented musicians John, Ronald, Daniel and Christiaan, each of whom captivates the audience from beginning to end with wonderful solos and tight rhythm guitar playing. Wonderful music, a wonderful band, and it’s lovely to see how much fun you all have playing together. You’ve gained a new fan!" Based in Obdam, North Holland, Netherlands (321 miles from Århus) 3rd November 2026 Denise - Workshopday & Concert of the Marcia Bamberg Swing Quartet ft. Christiaan van Hemert Photo of Gradalicious Gradalicious "Very good, our guests are happy with the music and the performance. The atmosphere was very fantastic!" Based in Bussum, North Holland, Netherlands (337 miles from Århus) Yuting Cheng - KTS International Exhibition Consulting UG Photo of Bertram & Kadi DUO Bertram & Kadi DUO "Bertram & Kadi truly tied our tranquil cottage wedding together. Their music created exactly the atmosphere we had hoped for - sweet, playful, and effortlessly elegant. We loved working with them beforehand to put together a setlist of our favourite jazz standards, and they even learned a song without sheet music online so we could listen to our special song on our special day. We couldn't have asked for a more wonderful duo." Based in Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands (338 miles from Århus) 13th June 2026 Hebo - Private wedding Photo of Bijou Trio Bijou Trio "I was searching for a jazz band for a luxury event I planned in Amsterdam and came across Bijou Trio, what an incredible find! Out of all the entertainment companies I contacted, they were the first to respond (within hours!), and their pricing was by far the most competitive. When the event day came, they exceeded every expectation. Impeccably presented, charming, and professional, these 3 young men brought the atmosphere and true artistry to the event. Their performance was elegant, polished, and musically outstanding. I later found out they are formally trained musicians with a university background in music and it shows. Highly recommended for anyone looking for world-class jazz with genuine soul and sophistication." Based in Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands (338 miles from Århus) Nadia Duran - Nadia Duran Events - Sydney Australia Photo of Dupa Trio - Retro Jazz Band Dupa Trio - Retro Jazz Band "we invited Dupa Trio for our annual celebration of the Gememnta Amsterdam, WOW, what a cool band! a super unique approach to the boring and run-over-the-mile jazz band, they have so much character and their singer is amazing! if you can see them play or even book their performance, do it! such a cool band" Based in Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands (338 miles from Århus) Kitty - Gemente amsterdam
