Photo of Elvis tribute and rock n roll show Elvis tribute and rock n roll show "Paul was a joy to deal with, he responded to quickly to any messages. Arrived early to set up and had the crowd singing and dancing all night with his sets. Having the rock n roll show first was a great warm up to his Elvis set which we would happily book again" Based in High Wycombe, England (4 miles from Marlow) Lee Bryant - Gade & Goose Photo of Anna Nightingale Vintage Jazz swing Singer Anna Nightingale Vintage Jazz swing Singer "Stephanie M August 2022 5 out of 5 I booked Anna as a solo act for my Parents 50th wedding anniversary. From the moment I enquired online, Anna's communication was flawless. She made me feel very confident in all aspects, including but certainly not limited to song requests and act requirements. Anna was kind enough to bring a card for my parents and she was respectful and mindful when I told her a few days prior to the event that a family member had passed away. Anna went out of her way to pay tribute on the night and even allowed my father to do the same. I couldn't recommend her enough - truly a great artist and even greater person. regards Stephanie" Based in Maidenhead, England (4 miles from Marlow) Stephanie - Annniversary party Photo of Tim Payne Tim Payne "Tim played at my 60th birthday party and was absolutely fantastic. He started with a brilliant acoustic set and then moved into more guitar-driven music as the evening went on. He’s a great singer, really got the party going, and is also a genuinely nice guy. I’d highly recommend him for any party or event."

We recently asked Tom to perform at an event in Cookham. The band were excellent, the client was delighted - wouldn't hesitate in recommending." Based in Windsor, England (10 miles from Marlow) Jumping Giraffe Events - Events Management Photo of Jack Barnes Jack Barnes "Jack was amazing. From early communication planning the play list through to performing on the day, Jack delivered! Jack is personable, polite and does not intrude. Thank you Jack for making the birthday celebrations special." Based in Wallingford, England (15 miles from Marlow) 18th August 2026 Jane Smith - Birthday Photo of Jukebox Jukebox "Saw this new band at Iconic Wheatsheaf. Absolutely brilliant. Had our feet tapping to the Rock n Roll music all night, and new all the old songs from the sixties. We had a great evening. Will keep an eye out for when they are playing again. Great vocals and instrumentals. They looked like they had a good following of people who were dancing all night!
