Liz Player Jazz Singer
"Could not be happier with Liz and the duo that sang and played at my wife's 50th Birthday arranged at last minute - highly recommend them."

Blue Velvet Jazz
"“Just a quick email to thank you for the wonderful performance you gave at Joy’s graduation party. Your band was one element of a great night, but Blue Velvet more than anything added a sophisticated atmosphere. Your repertoire was great and you always played at an appropriate level. You were punctual, reliable and did exactly what what we agreed. Very professional all round and most importantly, enjoyable. We couldn’t be more pleased. Please pass our thanks on to the other members of the band.
If you ever need a good word from a satisfied client to get a gig, feel free to let me know. I’d be happy to oblige.”

High Society Jazz Orchestra
"What an entertaining band last night at the VJC at Clayton RSL. The High Society Jazz Orchestra played a magical mix of Big Band numbers from a number of eras. They not only played well, but looked the part in their dinner suits and lovely dresses. The music kept dancers on the floor all night and the audience looked very happy with the music - even the children were enjoying the night!"
The Jazz Kings Australia
"Friday 24th November 2023 - The Jazz Kings - Tweed Valley Jazz and Blues
A superb gig to bring a fitting close to a year of top-flight music. ‘The Jazz Kings’ left us in no doubt why they are currently rated among the top outfits on the North Coast. Each of them – Nicole Parker-Brown on vocals, Peter Uppman on vocals and trumpet (sometimes almost at the same time), Gordon Matheson on guitar, Col Atkinson on bass and yet more vocals, and Jose McLaughlin on keyboards – is an accomplished performer in their own right, and in combination they are a musical powerhouse to be reckoned with.
It was an evening of eclectic mix, from popular jazz standards, through blues arrangements that will be appearing on their latest album, to occasional dips into the classical realms, and a few nostalgic ‘pop’ reminiscences. Among the favourites were their own arrangements of evergreens such as ‘Night and Day,’ ‘All Of Me’, ‘Misty’, ‘Georgia On My Mind’ and ‘Making Whoopee’.
Jose even gave a nod towards his earlier career as keyboard player and musical director of ‘Gerry and the Pacemakers’ with his updated arrangements of ‘Ferry Cross the Mersey’ and ‘Don’t Let the Sun Catch You Crying’. All in all, a great end to 2023, and the Club Committee took time at the end to wish all members and visitors a happy and safe Xmas and a prosperous New Year. If it promises music of the same quality as this past year, then we’ll have no complaints."
Girl Friday
"We listen to a lot of live music and Girl Friday are one of our favourite bands, Michelle and the boys are ultimate professionals, their music ranges from swing, to blues, Latin and they make a lot of popular music their own. We love doing their Friday night Sun Set Cruises Jazz cruise out of Mooloolaba and we often catch their Eat Street, Toowoomba and Warwick 'Jumpers and Jazz' gigs. Great band to listen and dance to!"
