Andy King of Swing
"Andy came and performed for us and we all absolutely loved it. During the daytime he delivers a lovely, relaxed jazzy set and in the evening had everyone up dancing to the classic hits of Sinatra etc. All of my guests commented on how brilliant he was and I’d recommend him 100% He was such a nice guy too and went out of his way to accommodate all of our requirements."
Steve King Band
"What a fantastic band. We booked Steve & the band for my parent's 60th Wedding Anniversary. The music was fantastic and some modern songs were played too. Just brilliant and thank you for making their night extra special"
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."
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 !!

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 😊"
Funk'N'Soul Function Band
"Funk’N’Soul performed at a wedding celebration held at Maisemore Gloucestershire on 28th August. The two hour set and DJ kept everyone on the dance floor, which was exactly what was wanted!! Awesome night!"
