The Sax Sound
"Absolutely amazing, created such a great atmosphere on our boat party and made it very memorable!"
Fleur Stevenson Jazz Duo/Trio/Quartet
"We used Fleur and team for the cocktail part of the evening and it was good background entertainment. Fleur has a great tone. I also saw her at a smaller party and she did a good job then."
Tom Neill (Solo/Duo/Bands)
"Tom is a highly talented musician as well as being very professional when communicating and engaging with clients. We recently asked Tom to perform at an event in Cookham. The band were excellent, the client was delighted - wouldn't hesitate in recommending."
Add Hock
"Feet tapped, eyes shone, hands clapped and hips and heads rolled as the brilliance of the great song writers Gershwin, Porter, Warren, Berlin and others became the hymns of this Saturday evening. But light-hearted as most of the music was, there was contrast in the emotive classic 'Every Time we say Goodbye' sung by the nightingale Gaylene Parish (close your eyes and it was Ella Fitzgerald)."
Pauline and the Imaginary Friends
"I’ve seen Pauline and the Imaginary Friends perform several times now and their show is always full of energy and fun. Pauline has great vocals with a quirky style that is engaging and entertaining, and her adaptations of the songs are unique and interesting."
The Cocktail Hour Jazz Band
"Matt was so professional and easy to work with, the music was on point and created just the right atmosphere for our function. We will definitely be hiring Matt again in the future."
