"Sonia played to a packed and appreciative house at St Ives Jazz Club with two thoughtfully considered and slickly performed sets of songbird standards, mingled with the occasional more modern classic from the likes of Randy Crawford and even Sting. The band accompany Sonia with a suitably understated groove, giving this blossoming vocalist plenty of space, but impress when it’s called for with some fine solo and ensemble instrumental play – all very solid musicians, making this band an impressive and satisfying unit!"

"Just want to say thank you for Thursday. It was a very special moment for everyone especially Antony's family. It was very moving. Can you thank the lads for me as I never got round to it. Was nice to meet them briefly. Thanks again Darral"

"Graham and his musicians were an incredible addition to our pub wedding! They had such a nice vibe, their music was a blast, and it really made the atmosphere so festive! Really hope to have another occasion in the future to cross their paths again - thank you for everything!"

"We gave a great reception to the Debon Swing Dance Band. - as this 'small big band' reminded us of Duke, Glenn, Woody and others, and singer Sarah did the same for such as Ella, Peggy and Marilyn. Absolutely everything went with such a swing."

"Lady Luck provided the perfect live set for our wedding reception. The modern songs created the perfect ambiance as guests arrived at the reception. The guests loved it. We would always recommend Lady Luck to any of our friends or family looking for a stand out performance for their event."

"Thanks very much for such a wonderful performance on Saturday. Without exception everyone has said "and weren't the band fantastic". In fact it may have affected the dancing as many people also said they could have listened all night!!! Some achievement in view of the age ranges. It was very much appreciated and thank you all for making Di's party such a great success. We will certainly have no hesitation in using you again or recommending you to others."

"Just a note to say a HUGE thank you for the most wonderful set you played at my 50th. The band and the song choices were simply brilliant and totally aligned to the Gatsby theme, but I wanted to particularly call out your AMAZING voice and performance. So many people told me how impressed they were… "

"We waited for 6 months for the big day, and Sonya’s quartet didn’t disappoint. They managed to fit the mood of the party as it became more intimate, she sang my favourite song ‘Funny Valentine’ with real feeling and then got us all dancing till the end. A fabulous quartet that everyone loved. A thoughtful and professional group. "

"There was a real sense of team spirit which the musicians were very much a part of. Your music went down extremely well and created a lovely environment for guests as they arrived!"

"Caravan Swing has entranced our tea shop twice now. Each time with only a modicum of advertising the place was packed to the rafters. Pure magic, they can take you on a journey back in time to foreign lands and bring you home again all in the space of a few minutes, they can play infectiously dancing music, and lull you into a trance with soulful ballads. The audience has been rapturous each time. Can't wait to get them back."

"When I first saw him, I was so amazed at his talent and style and how he appealed to all age groups, I immediately booked him for a private function. Neither I nor my guests were disappointed and as the years have gone on he has got better and better becoming a staunch professional and not just as a 'crooner' but as an entertainer. I have been to several of his gigs and can only say that as his voice has got stronger, his repertoire larger, it gets harder and harder to book seats which shows just how high his popularity is and deservedly so as well. I would have no problem with recommending Tom to any of my friends or indeed to anybody in the leisure industry who is looking for a talented and professional singer to entertain their customers."
