Justin Holcroft
"Justin’s performance was intimate and stunning at the same time. Great communication, very effective preparation and coverage by someone who can play the sax, from Jazz, swing to lounge and bar background music. We would highly recommend Justin to anyone interested in high-quality, paired with a down-to-earth mindset and to-the-point delivery."
Rich Hazlewood
"We had the pleasure of Rich singing last night at my Dad’s 80th party.
What a voice and he played a great selection of songs which everyone loved. He made the atmosphere amazing and everyone was dancing, or foot tapping!
If you are looking for the wow factor , this guy has it all.
We will definitely book him again.
Thanks Rich, you put a smile on many faces, and I’m sure everyone is still humming those tunes this morning 😊"
The Not Quite Big Band
"Wow wow wow! These guys were absolutely incredible! Words can’t describe! We hired the NQBB for our wedding back in October and we think it was the best wedding decision we made! Will was super through all stages of the process, from enquiries before booking, through to set list selections and sorting out logistics, he was so friendly, with excellent communication and always had time to answer our queries. On the day itself they arrived in plenty of time to set up and you could tell the guests were getting excited for what was to come. It was what we were most looking forward to about the day and it more than exceeded our expectations! What was wonderful was seeing everyone dancing - all the generations. They are such amazing performers and so engaging getting all on the dance floor involved! Our guests are still raving about ‘THE band’ and rightly so! Thank you so much NQBB, you most certainly made the day!"

Reggae Winehouse
"I got an all-clear result from my PCR Test yesterday, so last night I ventured out to the Jam House to see how much the Brummie music culture had advanced during my almost 2-year absence.
Last nights gig was a new venture called Reggae Winehouse a Brummie band with three vocalists doing Reggae versions of Amy Winehouse's repertoire. I liked the idea, and so did a lot of other Brummies who turned out to make a fantastic night.
I am old enough to remember when the Windrush Generation started to arrive in Brum bringing their love of music and enjoyment with them. A few of that generation were present last night along with their grandchildren. By the time that the second set started the Jam House was bouncing around St Pauls Square and you couldn't tell the difference between the multiple ethnicities on the dancefloor, we were all just Brummies filled with Joy.
I semi walked semi danced on my way home in the early hours, thinking to myself how lucky I am to be a Brummie. The Jam House did our City proud last night, and after 10 years I finally saw the lead singer I always knew was in there. Take a bow Leonie Smith and the rest of your brilliant band !!
