Kameo "I would be more than happy to recommend KAMEO after their weekly music nights at our Bar" Based in Benidorm, Valencia (6 miles from Altea) Victoria Jones - Manager, Avenida Bar, Albir, Alicante, Spain

Mr.Sinatra & Friends "Thank you so much for playing during the cocktail of our wedding, you guys are the real deal!" Based in Barcelona, Catalonia (225 miles from Altea) 6th October 2026 Katie and Paul - Wedding Barcelona

Pia Tedesco Vintage Jazz & Cinematic Swing "Pía is an authentic whirlwind on stage. Apart from her vocal excellence and the instrumental excellence of the musicians accompanying her, as well as the well-chosen repertoire, she has the ability to connect with the audience from the very beginning of her performance, and provoke the most varied emotions. A powerful presence, a tremendous capacity as an actress and her great professionalism make having her be a sure success at your event, in any of the formats she offers." Translated from Spanish Based in Madrid (232 miles from Altea) 20th March 2026 José María Díaz - Grupo Nuevos Aires (Almería). Programación cultural, festival musical.

Vodja "Absolutely fabulous, hugely entertaining and lovely music for a wedding, with a great variety of music keeping things going with a swing. The guests loved it and applauded at the end of each song. Highly recommend as not only fantastic artists but such nice guys too." Based in Toulouse, Occitanie, France (354 miles from Altea) Sophie Johnson - Wedding

Hitchen Jazz Group "We saw the biggest ensemble that Hitchen Jazz provides - The Hitchen Big Band, at Montpellier Jazz Club in 2015. They played an excellent concert. David presented the concert all evening in French, with a charming English Accent. We have followed the group ever since, and we also love the Hitchen Jazz Trio. Bravissimo!" Based in Nîmes, Occitanie, France (428 miles from Altea) Jean-Vincent Bec - Montpellier Jazz Club

Pugsley Buzzard "Who ever says 'they don't write 'em like they used to' should take a listen to Pugsley Buzzard's latest album Wooden Kimono. Buzzard is a bewitching songwriter and storyteller often combining groove laden or playful tunes with dark lyrics. Showing off his renowned blues - jazz piano style and infectious raspy vocals, Pugsley is complemented on this album by a top band of horns and down and dirty guitar, that makes for hot listening. ". Megan Rowe, Rhythms Magazine." Based in Braga, Portugal (487 miles from Altea) 3rd November 2025 Megan Rowe - Rhythms Magazine
