"I hired The Ace Jazz Band for my dads funeral. My dad knew his prognosis as was adamant it was to be a celebration of life for him. With the help of the band - we made this happen. I had positive feedback from friends and family. The band are extremely talented and professional. They ensured the service was upbeat with the music which helped to lift our spirits. I know my dad would have loved them and I’m sure he looked down on us with a smile that day. Thank-you The Ace Jazz Band. Can’t recommend you enough. "

"Fuego performed at our wedding in August this year having booked them about a year in advance – and we're so glad we did! In the lead up to the big day, Rhona (band manager) liaised with us to come up with a set list perfect for us with the songs we liked from their repertoire, as well as learning a couple more new songs especially. On the day itself, the atmosphere was fantastic and everyone – the band, our guests and we – had an amazing time. Since then we've had a number of compliments from guests about the music. We couldn't fault the performance, and would not hesitate in recommending them! "

"I would like to thank you so much for playing at our Battle of Britain Dining-In Night. Your contribution was greatly appreciated and I have received numerous positive comments following your performance last night. Debon Swing Dance Band captured the mood of the evening perfectly; the selection of music was ideal and, on a personal note, the RAF March as the Top Table left was the icing on the cake. "

"This long-standing UK jug band capture the knockabout sound of the best Memphis jug bands of the 20s and 30s extremely well in addition to turning their hand to melodic blues, vintage jazz, old timey music and hokum. It all makes for a very fine and fun releas."

"The evening went off very well. Neil, Kevin and Tom were excellent and all at a party of 45 remarked on the both the style and quality of the music. The trio played the right music at the right tempo at the right volume. The fact that partygoers applauded after each rendition demonstrated that even though they were talking to friends some had not seen for long periods they were still appreciative of the music in the background."
