Simone Sax
"We just had to write and express our thanks for your saxophone and flute performance at our wedding. We were so glad that you were able to play such a wide variety of musical styles for us – every age group of our guests really appreciated your music and appropriate backing music – the amplification was just right!

"Just returned from the show at Stamford this evening 22 Nov. Outstanding musical ability, total enthusiasm and hard work, which produced a sound which defied any attempt to keep your hands or feet from moving! They love their music and it showed. It was an superb evening and I will be back."

Miss Dolores & Friends
"Thank you all so much for such a fantastic evening on Saturday!
The feedback has been unbelievable - everyone loved the evening and especially the band.
Your voice has been commented on by many and lots of people are saying we must get them again! Whether that will be jazz / jive or 60s/70s, I don't know...but I will get back to you when the time is right.
The selection you chose for the 2 sets was perfect - the first allowing people to chat and the second winding up the tempo for a dance. We have never seen so many people dancing in the Hall and - of all ages.
So, very well done to you all and lots of thanks."
