Mr Swing's Dance Orchestra
"We just wanted to drop you a quick message to say thank you so much for being such a fantastic part of our wedding last week! We have lost count of the number of guests who commented on how fantastic you all were, both on the night itself and in messages afterwards. The atmosphere was exactly as we had hoped it would be. We can’t think of a better way that we could have gotten all of the different people from all walks of our lives up and dancing all night! Dexter particularly isn’t much of a dancer so I hope you do take it as the high praise that it is that he was on the dance floor for so much of the evening. We also just wanted to say a massive thank you for being so flexible with the timings and playing later than planned without any issue. Hope the rest of the wedding season continues to be such a success. Thanks so much again."
The Backbeats
"The Backbeats were fantastic to work with and were thoroughly enjoyed by the guests at Frances's 60th birthday party. Martyn was very easy to communicate with in the lead-up to the party, and when we needed to change their set times, they were happy to adapt. I would be more than happy to book them again in the future.

Sparky , Dr Dub and the Wailer blues trio
"If you walked into The Pocket blindfolded last week you might have thought Tom Jones had dropped by to front this power trio.
But there's no mistaking why they call Stephen Bailey 'The Wailer', as he fills the room with deep guttural blues you could be back in 50's Mississippi.
With a rhythm section tighter than a bungee jumper's harness and keyboard skills that could give Jools Holland a run for his money, these guys mean business!
