Hi Jess
I just wanted to say a massive thank you for today. You sang so beautifully; everyone loved you, and they didn’t want you to leave!
Thank you again,
Anna

So glad we booked The Red Hot Rags for our wedding reception. We honestly couldn’t have asked for more.

So many guests came up to us to say how brilliant they were! They were also really easy to deal with, super responsive and flexible, which made the whole process a lot less stressful.

Hi Jessica!
I’m reaching out to you after the big day…

I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for making our wedding reception so special and warm. You were absolutely incredible, everyone said so. And a special thank-you from me for getting me to dance and finally relax by playing Paolo Conte… truly an unforgettable moment. ❤️

Hi Jess, wanted to say a big thank you to you and your group for an amazing performance at our wedding.

We really enjoyed it and so did guests and we loved the song list too.

Jess and The Red Hot Rags were absolutely amazing! From the moment they started playing, the atmosphere just lifted. Jessica’s voice is so beautiful and full of emotion, and the band was incredibly polished and fun. They played a mix of classic jazz with a few unexpected modern tunes that really worked, our guests loved it. Super professional, stylish, and lovely to deal with. Honestly one of the best decisions we made for the day.

The Red Hot Rags were amazing! They brought such a lovely atmosphere to our wedding. Their jazz was smooth, elegant, and just felt so classy. It was exactly what we were hoping for during the drinks and dinner. Later on, they picked up the tempo and had everyone dancing, which we honestly weren’t expecting from a jazz band!
They were also so friendly and easy to work with throughout the whole process. They really added something special to the day, and we’re so glad we found them.

Hi Jessica, thank you so much for your incredible performance!
We really enjoyed it as you could tell ;)

Hi Jess,

I would just like to reach out and say thank you so much to you and the band for the event on Monday 😊

We received amazing feedback and I can’t wait to work with you again in the future!

Great band, excellent singer and delivered a set which fitted our brief.

Absolutely fantastic voice, set the mood for the wedding early on would highly recommend!

The Red Hot Rags gave an outstanding performance for our small garden party in August. They were friendly, professional and brilliant performers. Their music was just as I wanted and all our guests were amazed at the quality of the performance they gave. Thank you Red Hot Rags for making my birthday so special.

Since the initial booking Jess was very responsive in answering all our questions and creating a special jazz version of our first dance for our wedding. The band were on time and very courteous especially seeing we were 30 mins overrunning on the speeches.
We would not hesitate to recommend Jess and her band to anyone else for any occasion.

Thank you and your band so much for a great performance yesterday!!

Thoroughly pleased with performance. Arrived in time, were friendly with superb skills. Would love to hear them again.

Jess delivered exactly what we wanted for our 70th birthday and wedding anniversary celebrations.
A lovely voice and great song choice - as we left the programme to her.
All of our guests commented how good Jess was and how much they enjoyed our Retro themed event
Would recommend on all counts

Very high quality traditional group, our guests were all very positive about their music including another hotel owner that I think is keen to book them for more music. Quality product.

Hi Jess,
We have had so many great comments regarding last night! Everyone has said what a great voice you have and how much the enjoyed your performance.
From Ruth and myself, a big thank you for making our night special and enjoyable
All the very best
Kind regards
David

Dear Jessica and band members, I wanted to thank you all for the amazing performance you gave last Thursday night at the event - it was a long shot with my client and it paid off and they were absolutely delighted and the feedback from them and their guests was amazing so thank you all very much indeed. It was lovely to meet you and I hope I will be in touch again to book you for another event.

Dear Jess, Thank you from me and Mat!!! You and your band have been absolutely fantastic - we really enjoyed having you sing and play so beautifully and for being so flexible with timing. EVERYONE loved you and the band - they all said you have the most fabulous/ stunning voice and presence. The "EVERYONE" includes all the chefs (they were boogying whilst getting the meal out), the floor staff, and my neighbours who were still working in the garden and didn't quite make over to dinner. Thank you also for singing the 2 songs I requested - my brother (the one who led the speeches) was very touched as they were for him and thought you sang them beautifully! We will certainly be in touch again when we entertain with live music again! With very best wishes to you and all your band members, Yvonne & Mat

Dear Jess,
Thank you on behalf of the whole Unwin Family for everything you did to make Olivia’s 21st Birthday Party a success.
We have had so many compliments about the music and the band. You managed to get 3 generations up and dancing, all loving it. Thank you for lending us your mic for speeches, for David & Alice’s singing and for Grace and for your patience in helping us to get everything working smoothly. We hope you had fun playing The Emirates Stadium- it was certainly the most fun I’ve had there this season! Wishing you and the band great success.
Best wishes,
Diana

I can't speak highly enough of this band, they are professional, talented & sound amazing. Before the wedding Jess worked very hard with the venue to ensure we could have the best possible line up for our reception and set up a surprise happy birthday for the mother of the bride with no problems. Thank you for helping to make our special day fun & memorable! Luke & Noriko

Dear Jess,
Thank you so much for playing at our wedding a few weeks ago. We were so lucky that you were available! The music really brought the whole evening to life! Everyone was commenting on how much they were enjoying the music during the evening.
Best wishes,
Sandra

Hi Jess,
A big thank you to you and the band for the fantastic sessions you provided at Sal’s 60th birthday party.
Everyone was so impressed with you and the quality of the band and we had some seasoned old music lovers at the party.
We all just wished you could have performed for longer! Good to leave them wanting more :)
Thanks again!
Mick

Hi Jess

Thanks so much for yesterday everyone thought you were brilliant and it was perfect for Dad's birthday.

A huge thank you to you and the musicians for last night!! You are incredible and can’t wait to dance with you all again soon!! X

Dear Jessica,
I am emailing you to say thank you, on behalf of all our residents at Morden College, for the wonderful performances you have given for them during the last 12 months. This has been a trying 14 months, to say the least; our residents in particular have struggled with the realities of a constrained life, without the levels of contact with family and friends that they would normally expect. Bringing something into their lives that takes their mind off thoughts of isolation and loneliness has been essential; you Jessica have helped hugely, perhaps even more than you realise. Your fabulous voice, and your repertoire on each occasion brings great joy, and hope to so many. Not just residents either, staff have loved to hear you sing. I know you are programmed in to return in July I think. We shall all look forward to that.
Best wishes,
David RJ

Hi Jess,
Thank you once again for last Friday. Our residents enjoyed very much your choice of music and the performance, it meant a lot to them.

The Major from the Kings Troop also commented in her email later that day how your performance ‘hit’ the right note. (please excuse the pun)!

Kindest Regards and very much looking forward to welcoming you again in the very near future.

Jess , we can’t thank you enough for singing at my husbands 50th birthday yesterday . Your voice is amazing, everyone was hooked and we could listen to you all day . Love your look also - was truly a pleasure to have you sing at our house . We hope to see you again. Louise Xx

Jess was amazing, she made a great day so perfect! Brilliant song choices delivered with a perfect voice! ?? I hope we’ll get to use her again and thank you wife for arranging it!

Hi Jessica, Thank you so much for your entertainment on Saturday. It was truly amazing!!
You are very talented and made the party very special.
Thank you very much again. Alison

Jess I just want to say a very very big Thank You for making it such a wonderful experience today for Les. I was very sad to miss it but I gather he had a great time and you and the band were wonderful. Thank you so much for giving him so much pleasure at a time when his world just keeps getting smaller. Regards Liz
Liz Kirkbride

Dear Jess and team, Can I just thank you once again for a superb performance on Friday for my father. It was absolutely perfect. It was great to meet you all and we appreciated you spending time with us following the event. Good luck for the future. Yours, Alison

Jess and The Red Hot Rags were amazing. Having planned an small private event for my Father in Law that had to be postponed due to Covid we were delighted to reorganise an outdoor, social distancing event for today. The Red Hot Rags played wonderful music and made a man whose health is rapidly fading very very Happy.
I can't thank them enough for all they have done and would recommend them to anyone.
Thank you so much

My lovely Jess,
I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart, you were an absolute delight on Saturday, I cannot wait to hear your angelic voice again.

Lots of Love,
Andreea

Jess was amazing - the most beautiful voice! We asked her to play some Italian songs and it was exactly what we were hoping for- highly highly recommend!

Thank you so much Jess. That was fabulous. Made his day extra special! Xx

Dear Jess,

We hope this message finds you well.

It is today a month since Ilaria and I celebrated our wedding day, and we thought this would be the perfect opportunity to thank you and the band again for creating the perfect atmosphere for our celebrations during the afternoon and evening. Not only that, but your duet with Giulio during our ceremony was absolutely perfect.

Thank you all so much.

Keep safe, and well, during these difficult times.

With very best wishes,
Ian & Ilaria

From first contact, all the way through to the day, Jess was professional, helpful and friendly. They were always responsive to any questions, learnt some extra songs for us perfectly, got to a difficult venue on time, set up discreetly and gave a great performance that they pitched just right for the changing mood throughout the evening. It really stood out how committed to, and passionate about, their music they are and we really felt they cared a lot about making the atmosphere on the day really special. They were even happy dealing with our indecision around playlists (offering great advice) and when first dance etc would be, something I'm personally very grateful to them for handling wonderfully! Furthermore, both Jess and her band members were also lovely wedding guests - they were great at chatting to fellow guests about the music during breaks and at playing music through the system between sets. If we have any events in the future we would definitely have them along to provide the music again. Event details - Wedding reception of approximately 100 people in a 9m x 18m marquee. The music and volume was just right to get people dancing on the dance floor, and also to allow those who wanted to chat to do so comfortably towards the back of the marquee. I believe the equipment Jess brought along was the less powerful available to them, so no worries with larger venues too.

Thank you SO much for Saturday – you were absolutely fantastic and everyone was raving about you. I’m just sad I didn’t get to enjoy it more at the time (too busy trying to speak to people). But it was exactly what we’d hoped and more. Thank you!

Hello Jessica, I just wanted to thank you for your wonderful performance last night! We really loved your set and people were raving about it all night!

Hi Jess,
Just wanted to thank you again for my Mam’s 80th celebration. You were fantastic and everyone loved the day. Could no have gone better.
We will be sure to recommend you to all our friends when entertainment is discussed.
Very best regards Jess.

Hi Jess, Thanks for your fantastic show last week everyone really enjoyed it!

A remarkable singer, with a very rich vocal texture, accompanied by the finest instrumentalists. A concert which makes you fall in love again with Jazz.

These guys were absolutely fantastic. They were organised, helpful, provided their own AV equipment, and were very flexible amongst many changing plans

And the music was phenomenal. They were so good at reading the room and the tone of each part of the event. They had everyone up dancing!

Amazing, definitely my swing/jazz band of choice for any future events.

Thanks again to Jess and the band.

Hi Jess, thank you! Wonderful music much to delight of everyone who came.....expect more bookings!
Thank you

Fabulous night with The Red Hot Rags on Tuesday. Non stop & up-tempo swing from across the ages.
Singer Jessica De Giudici went from strength to strength and Giulio Romano was a delight on guitar.
Three Italians & two Brits made for a really entertaining evening. They will be back.

It was an excellent evening. They were professional, personable, warm and with a really appropriate selection of music. I would definitely recommend them.

Jess and the band were fantastic. The music was exactly what we were looking for and really made the party. Lots of great feedback from all our guests. Jess was also very responsive and flexible in designing the right tone and set lists to match what we were looking for. I'd recommend highly.

Jess, thank you so much for yesterday. You have a stunning voice, beautiful musicality and the band were fantastic. Everyone really enjoyed it (although no one more than me!) Please pass my sincere thanks onto the band. Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help your business (recommendations etc). Thanks, Alex xx

Jess and the band were amazing, the perfect group for my party. They played two sets of vintage classics which fit the 40s theme perfectly!

I can't speak highly enough of this band, they are professional, talented & sound amazing.
Before the wedding Jess worked very hard with the venue to ensure we could have the best possible line up for our reception and set up a surprise happy birthday for the mother of the bride with no problems.

The Red Hot Rags: an incredible tribute to the Jazz Divas.

Jessica, I really enjoyed the evening and the band was great!

Good afternoon,
I was just wanted to drop you an email to tell what a pleasure it was to have you and the band here on Friday, I’ve had nothing but positive feedback from the team and the guests, from much a step in right direction in regards to music and theme nights at the Dukes.
You guys were wonderful :)
Thank you again and we look forward to having you back again in December.
All the best
Johnny xx

We had our wedding ceremony on Sat and Jessica sang for us with her guitarist Giulio. She was absolutely amazing and we had a truly unforgettable experience. Jessica and Giulio were very professional on every stage of the preparation process incl contract, payments, and music related choices. It was a pleasure for me to be arranging everything with Jessica as she listened to our needs and she met them completely. Thank you for making it possible for us to meet her through your website. MR & MRS R.
