Miss Swing
"Tracy has sung for me at a number of venues I have managed. Most recently she entertained with her Miss Swing theme. Was amazing, all our guests thoroughly enjoyed their Sunday afternoon and have been left waiting for more of Tracy later in the year.
So accommodating to this new venture, I cannot recommend enough, get booking!"
Bel Canto Vintage Sisters
"Performing aboard paddle steamer Waverley is always a challenging experience and requires artists of great skill and initiative to grapple with the small performance space and access limitations.
The Bel Canto Vintage Sisters proved perfect for our 1940's themed cruises, entertaining our passengers with a great range of wartime and big band standards, with frequent changes of costumes and great audience interaction.
A delightful trio of ladies who were more than happy to change set lists and performance times throughout the day according to the needs of the ship. Their day with us ended in passengers dancing and joining in a full throated sing- a - long to much acclaim.
One of the most entertaining and versatile groups I have used in 40 years of running cruises, we have received strong positive feedback from our passengers, and will be booking Angie and her trio again in 2025 for another 40s themed cruises. I recommend this group for any occasion, cruise or function. You will not be disappointed!.

Mickey Fordola
"What a fantastic voice, Mickey's performance was outstanding! He entertained our audience of 650 plus members and guests, at our New Years Eve Ball, with effortless charm, from the ballads he began with, to the big band numbers he sang at the end. Many of our guests are still talking about him now! A classy and professional act I would highly recommend."
Harmony In Harlem
"Harmony In Harlem performed at our wedding at the Plaisterers' Hall on London Wall in 2012. We thought that the band was fantastic - our guests loved it and at least one said it was the best music they have ever heard at a function - I certainly thought so!"
Annelise - Jazz & Swing Singer
"What a lovely voice and very talented performer, Annelise Molloy was well received by the audience and was a real success."
Dave Octave Sings
"We had a fantastic night, Dave Octave was welcoming entertaining and sang effortlessly. My guess all enjoyed his renditions. Thanks again"
