"*Review of JamezJuke – 702 Afternoons Unplugged (12 September)*
It was an absolute pleasure hosting
JamezJuke on our Unplugged session on 702 Afternoons with Relebogile. From the start, he was professional, responsive, and provided all the information we requested promptly. He arrived on time for both his interview and performance, which made the experience seamless and enjoyable.
His acoustic performance was nothing short of soulful and beautiful a true reflection of his artistry and talent. JamezJuke is a gifted young musician with a bright future ahead, and it was wonderful to share his music with our listeners."

Mistura Fina
"James and Deb were incredible throughout the wedding afternoon. Communication was seamless from beginning to end, and their high level of professionalism made the entire process very easy for both me as a wedding planner and the couple. On top of that, they are both incredibly friendly, warm and genuinely lovely people to work with!
They provided a wonderful service on site, including professional equipment and setup, along with beautiful music that made the afternoon truly special. Both the couple and their guests enjoyed it so much!
Their music is something unique, not something you hear every day, and it added such a lovely atmosphere to the celebration.
A big recommendation to anyone looking to add a special touch to their wedding day!
Thank you!"
NoNi Trio
"NoNi Trio gave a wonderful, graceful, and elegant performance at our wedding. Their music created exactly the warm, sophisticated atmosphere we had hoped for, and their set was one of the most memorable parts of our celebration.
They were exceptionally professional, friendly, kind, and accommodating throughout the planning process. In advance of the wedding, they coordinated directly with our DJ and sound engineer to ensure that all sound-equipment requirements were sorted smoothly. They also discussed the setlist with us clearly and thoughtfully, including many of our favourite classics by Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, Sarah Vaughan, Peggy Lee, Louis Armstrong, and more.
They went above and beyond by working with a friend of ours—a backing vocalist and songwriter—who had composed a song especially for us. NoNi Trio helped incorporate her performance into their set, making the moment feel especially personal and meaningful.
It was an absolute pleasure working with NoNi Trio from start to finish. We would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for beautiful, high-quality live jazz for a wedding or special event."
