"Mel is my ‘first call’ session singer. Whether it’s a rip-roaring rock song or an emotional ballad, Mel has an uncanny ability to find just the right mood and approach in her vocal performance to compliment the song perfectly. She is able to quickly understand what the songwriter and/or producer is trying to achieve and by using a balance of her exquisite tone and perfectly honed technique she is always able to come up with exactly what is required. Added to that, Mel is a joy to work with in the studio with a fantastic attitude and work ethic. She gets the job done!"

"Sonia and her band have performed at our Jazz Lunches for some time and have always been very popular. Their music is very mellow and easy to listen to, with Sonia’s velvet tones bringing a warmth and depth to the melody. This year, they played for us on New Year’s Eve and guests, as well as staff, really enjoyed their performance. "

"Just to say a very big thank you to The Boogie Woogie Bugle Girls and all the other musicians and sound people for the concert you gave at the Festival. We had a meeting the other day just to review the way the festival had gone and the feedback that was received was excellent. They thought the singing was really great and that you were very slick on stage which gave a great presentation"

"Hi Christian, I just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for the most wonderful performance you organised for my Ladies Festival in May. Aside from your professionalism dealing with you prior to the event, I never dreamed that your performance would be THAT good!! The evening you gave us, filled with West-end tunes and film favourites delivered with such energy and excitement is still talked about by our guests. Personally for me, it was tremendous seeing everyone (young and old) on their feet joining in; you anticipated your audience perfectly, and gave us all an unforgettable night! I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone wishing to bring a little star quality to their evening and would like to take this opportunity to wish you well Christian in all that you do."

"You guys played a blinder... and played sets in just the right way in the circumstances, so a huge thanks. There were a lot of musical people at the event, and you and Rose who did the food shared the majority of the plaudits for what you did. Cheers again, and hope to see a bit more of your music being performed sometime. All the very best, Harry."

"A masterclass in blustery jazz swing infused with addictive rhythm and blues, blazing horns and galloping double bass, with highlights coming thick and fast!"
