Morbus Fatalis
"They´re amazing! Their live performance is both shocking and cativating! I was really impressed!"
RASPO Steel Band
"I do want to thank you and all your friends in RASPO most warmly for your lovely entertainment at our Summer Festival dinner, which was greatly enjoyed by all present."
Eternal Triangle
"I met Trevor Watts and his Eternal Triangle band for the first time in 2022 at Cafè Oto in London.
It was a fantastic concert, I really enjoyed everything from the band. The percussionist Jamie Harris provided a strong and vigorous accompaniment with his bongos and cymbals, keyboardist Veryan Weston added his immaginific sounds to the ensemble and Trevor Watts stood out for his inventiveness, freshness of phrasing and audience involvement.
It was a joy to meet the band members after the show and remain in contact with them over time. We were able to put together a first Italian tour in February 2025 and we're looking forward for new shared adventures.
The great musicality of this projects makes it enjoyable from any kind of audience, from people not familiar with creative music to fine jazz connaisseurs.
Trevor Watts is undoubtedly one of the main protagonist of European jazz and the work he has done with this band is simply amazing and worth to be discovered.
Very recommended (especially when they are on tour!)"
Zaz
"Zaz is just incredible!!! Our guests were blown away by her talent. Her voice is just so good. And whilst we had lots of things to worry about on our Wedding day, Zaz was not one of them. She is such a nice person, super flexible and easy to work with to get the set we wanted just right. And on the big day she looked fantastic, and SHE worked the crowd, the lights, and music with ease, getting everyone up dancing and making sure the night reached a memorable crescendo - Would hire her again, a 100 times over!"
Emmanuel Ayodeji
"We had the pleasure of having Emmanuel perform at our recent event, and it was nothing short of fantastic! His talent and energy brought an incredible atmosphere, making the event truly memorable. The music was beautifully played, adding a touch of elegance and excitement to the celebration. My dad absolutely loved it, and all our guests enjoyed the performance.
Highly recommend Emmanuel for any event—professional, engaging, and a true musical talent. Thank you for making the night special!"
Sergio Drums
"Sergio was a big part of the Gravey live setup for a few years. Always super solid, easy to work with, and brought a proper spark to every show. Whether it was a packed venue or a mid-week dive bar, he gave it everything. Total pro without ever taking himself too seriously."
