Indigo Sky went down very well at an event held at our yacht club. Their music was excellent and they were very flexible with their timing as our plans changed at the last minute. We
will definitely use them again.

Indigo Sky were a wonderful addition to our party! Professional, outstanding quality, friendly and a wonderful array of songs delivered with style. We had a jazz genre and it was truly
fantastic Laura and the band were flexible and let my 23 year old daughter sing two songs giving her performance confidence after completing her music
degree. Can't thank you enough- 1 highly recommend this fabulous group! Thanks so
much! Hope to see you again!

This band should be considered for any event. My regrets were that they weren't there for the whole event, a mistake on my
part. A difficult audience, but they performed superbly and it was an absolute pleasure to be a
part of their evening. Certainly for any military functions they should be your
first contact. Laura and the band, thank you so much for making my RSMs
evening the focus of the night.

We were lucky enough to have Indigo Sky entertaining us at a work Christmas do. The whole evening from start to finish was fantastically professional, excellent quality
and highly entertaining. Everyone in the room enjoyed the music and many people came up to me afterwards
asking for details. A wonderful evenings
entertainment.

We couldn't have been more pleased when Laura & her Band
performed at our 50 th Wedding Anniversary. Not only was the music excellent, but their personalities added to the
Party.

The band entertained everyone at our afternoon tea Event. l have organised other events and it is very difficult to please everyone, but the feedback received from those attending was unanimous in their praise for the Band. Laura's singing was sensational. I will
definitely hire them again.

Laura was brilliant at the MND Event, music was amazing and she was incredibly compassionate with the people
in the Hospice. You made their Christmas party special and for some it will be
their last, so a huge thank you.

decided to hire Laura & her Band Highly professional
musicians of the highest calibre Their musicianship, Laura's amazing voice - it was all
totally perfect. When I propose to my wife I

Andrew Cartmel (London Jazz News) 18 Nov 2014

A complimentary glass of bubbly is always a good sign as you step through the door. Or, in this case, as you step aboard. We were on the elegant Millennium Diamond, a handsome modern catamaran leaving from Westminster Pier for a jazz cruise of the Thames. Jazz and dinner. And bubbly.

With Big Ben glowing in the mellow late evening light, we cast off (I think that’s the term). We were presented with a small safety lecture and a large plate of tapas. As we glided by the London Eye and under bridges, the boat’s resident jazz band began to play. They are Chi Jazz: Noel Jay on electric keyboards, Matt Tween on bass, Steve Grainger a disciple of Johnny Hodges with a penchant for sneaking cheeky little quotations from The Pink Panther into his solos on alto sax and John Clarke on drums. Debbie Cobbett was guest vocalist. And this is a crack quartet, as was made clear by their opening number A Foggy Day (In London Town) — a great tune, though you could hardly have chosen a less foggy day than this scorching, gorgeous summer occasion with sunlight striking through the panoramic windows. Grainger’s alto was in the lead, offering sweetly swaying, reverberant cadences.

The stately skyline of London surged grandly past as the combo commenced I’ve Got You Under My Skin with Debbie Cobbett joining in on warm, mellow vocals. As Grainger’s sax played debonair, descending phrases with the setting sun glinted on the river waves and the Shard rearing gleaming against the sky it became clear we were in for a tremendously pleasant experience. Red double-decker buses rolled across Cannon Street Bridge and HMS Belfast hove into view as the band began A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square, reinforcing their excellent choice of songs. Noel Jay provided a delicate drapery of keyboards and Grainger went down a spiral bebop staircase on his alto. Matt Tween’s warm bass rolled like the waves as Jay embarked on a discursive, detailed solo.

Steve Grainger’s playing on Moon River was reflective and rhapsodic, coming at the tune from all angles with an echoing complexity of commentary. Noel Jay’s ringing keyboard solo excavated the melody from a solid body of improvisation while the steady cadence of John Clarke’s exemplary work on cymbals and brushes rooted the tune. The only way the band could have improved the evening’s music was by playing The Way You Look Tonight — which they proceeded to do. Jay performed a chiming, charging solo while Grainger’s alto scooted and soared above and John Clarke’s drumming skilfully kicked the number forward. This was bop adapted for the dinner hour, and none the worse for it.

The sun descended in a benign hot blaze over Tower Bridge, the blue sky scribbled with white contrails as One Note Samba provided a showcase for soloists. Steve Grainger’s fluid sax purred with restraint as he skirted the tune and Noel Jay played bright raucous phrases and dancing long lines against the backdrop of Matt Tween’s big, ripe bass and John Clarke’s steady, constant shimmer of drums. I could also tell you about The Girl from Ipanema but I was too busy concentrating on my moist, flavoursome chicken breast in ratatouille — which is a pity, because both Grainger’s sax and Jay’s keyboards were at their best as I stuffed my mouth full of buttery mashed potato. With the riggings of the Cutty Sark floating above the dark trees and the nocturnal sweep of the city silhouetted against the last of the blue sky, it was clear that this was an unbeatable way to spend an evening. Great music, great food, great experience.
