Reviews of Dixieland Bands available in Durham

5/5 from 149 reviews
Photo of Dr Jazz Dr Jazz "Thank you all so much for your amazing performance on Saturday evening, which was everything I could have hoped for! Your music was brilliant, got everyone up dancing and I can’t tell you how many people told me afterwards ‘how brilliant the 1920s band were’. As soon as you played your first song I knew we’d struck gold! It couldn’t have been more perfect given the whole Gatsby theme and everyone so dressed up, so thank you all so much. You may be interested to know that we raised an astonishing £7,000 on the night! With just 96 people in the room…amazing! Thanks again Matthew and I’ll not hesitate to recommend you if anyone should ask me for a fabulous 20’s Jazz Band!" Based in York, England (60 miles from Durham) Gayle Wharton - Charity Ball - Lincolnshire Photo of The L A Jazz Band The L A Jazz Band "Following a huge achievement of winning a prestigious industry award, we arranged for a secret day of celebrations for our 100 employees at our offices. We arranged for the LA Jazz Band to kick off the celebrations by entering our office playing the most energetic and uplifting music which was a wonderful surprise to staff who eagerly jumped up out of their seats to follow the marching band and dance their way around the office. The place was 'buzzing' everyone LOVED it. We had numerous surprises for everyone but the LA Jazz band was by far the highlight and what people remember the most about the day. They are fantastic. You can't help but get up on your feet and dance along. We will definitely be hiring them again for future events - we can't wait for them to play for us again! (10 / 10)" Based in Wakefield, England (76 miles from Durham) Jenny Garrett - Corporate Celebration Photo of The Easy Rollers The Easy Rollers "We couldn’t have been happier with the band who made it such a special night. They were a perfect choice for us with a great look, sound and spirit that got everyone in the party mood. Dani and the gang are excellent performers and really made the extra effort to make the Gatsby/1920s 1920s-themed night one to remember."

I would highly recommend." Based in Manchester, England (93 miles from Durham) Laura Marshall - 90th birthday Photo of Tri Tones Jazz Tri Tones Jazz "We couldn’t have been happier with Tritones! Excellent communication prior to our big day and on the day they were absolutely fantastic - we had so many compliments from our guests! Would recommend whole heartedly! Many thanks from Dave & Kay 22.05.22" Based in Manchester, England (93 miles from Durham) Dave and Kay - Wedding Photo of The Bierkellers The Bierkellers "The Bierkellers played for our corporate suppliers party & did a fantastic job. The crowd were dancing and singing along all night; we’d definitely have them back next year. Many thanks!"
