David & Janet Foster (Wedding) 10/10" Based in New Forest, England (18 miles from Salisbury) David & Janet Foster (Wedding) 10/10 - Wedding

Five Star Swing "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." Based in Southampton, England (21 miles from Salisbury) Eddie Harper, Stamford

EverClare "Thanks for a great gig last night, guys. Sore feet today from too much boogying!" Based in Southampton, England (21 miles from Salisbury) Victoria H - Party

Ben p tunes "Ben performed at a private festival even we held in the summer and everybody loved it . Great songs and was perfect for what we wanted" Based in Bournemouth, England (24 miles from Salisbury) Moonacre - Private festival

Add Hock "Feet tapped, eyes shone, hands clapped and hips and heads rolled as the brilliance of the great song writers Gershwin, Porter, Warren, Berlin and others became the hymns of this Saturday evening. But light-hearted as most of the music was, there was contrast in the emotive classic 'Every Time we say Goodbye' sung by the nightingale Gaylene Parish (close your eyes and it was Ella Fitzgerald)." Based in Newbury, England (31 miles from Salisbury) Alan Dowding, for the Hailey Herald - Concert

Lounge pianist "Excellent. - Highly professional . Communicated well before and throughout the event. Great pianist. Would recommend" Based in Portsmouth, England (36 miles from Salisbury) Jack E. - Party
