Decatur Street Jazz
"Rosie was an absolute star. She was technically brilliant (beautiful voice) and when she was let down by the sound system completed her set unaccompanied. Her professionalism and un-flappability in the face of difficulty was very impressive. Would strongly recommend."
Roger Lewin Piano
"It was a very worthwhile booking. Roger, Phil and Sarah-Jane provided our Group with great music that afternoon. Highly recommended"

Louise Golbey - Jazz, Soul, Pop, Disco
"I first met Louise at a wedding showcase over 10 years ago, and from that moment she was completely embedded in my brain! She has such a wonderfully soulful, distinctive voice, and I remember knowing there and then that whenever my wedding day came, I wanted her to be the one performing.
Fast forward more than a decade, and having Louise and the quartet there on our wedding day was honestly so special. They were absolutely incredible and created the most beautiful atmosphere from the moment they started playing. Hearing that voice I had remembered all those years ago, now singing at our wedding, was a real full-circle moment for me.
The quartet were phenomenal – so talented, polished and effortlessly brilliant. The music brought so much warmth and emotion to the day, and so many of our guests commented on just how amazing they were.
Louise, you were every bit as wonderful as I remembered and more. It was genuinely a dream to finally have you perform at our wedding after all these years. Thank you to you and the whole quartet and Terrron the DJ for being such a special part of our day and for giving us memories we’ll treasure forever. 🤍
We couldn’t recommend you highly enough!

Sax Angel
"Brilliant. Dad loved it. Everyone said how impressed they were. Good interaction with everyone. Highly recommend!"
Luminous Duo
"We booked the Duo for our wedding in Barcelona. Before the ceremony the Duo were incredibly helpful and flexible in helping finalise the set list for our welcome drinks and cocktail hour and the equipment they would require. We were also fortunate that the Duo learnt our first dance song, sending over a demo well before the ceremony so that we could check that we were comfortable dancing to it.
On the day, both Nadine and Lumai were brilliant. They were exactly the style of performer we were looking for, with their bossa-nova sound setting the perfect atmosphere for our guests on their arrival and during our cocktail hour. We’ll always remember that we were fortunate enough to have a live band perform our first dance - thank you so much for making this happen!"
