"Just a belated note to tell you how delighted we were by your playing at my party in Elton on the 6th September. We got glowing praise from our guests - and also from various neighbours who sat in their own gardens, with a drink, to enjoy your music! Thanks again."

"We booked The Pharaoh's for a birthday party in a local restaurant and they were perfect. The vocals and acoustic guitar were a lovely backdrop as we were eating and then brilliant for dancing to. Leanne has a fabulous voice. The Pharaoh's were very professional and friendly, and the vibe was just what we were looking for. "

"Emily's voice is stunning and she is a natural and beautiful performer. She created a warm, classy and laid back environment during our wedding reception entrance drinks. Her performance helped to create an intimate reception and every guest commented in her exquisite voice. She was very professional and lovely to deal with. We are so glad we chose her!"

"Jonny is great: he plays mean jazz accordion and is a delight to have around. Really made our afternoon in the garden for our guests and made a great atmosphere. It was Autumn Leaves that hooked me in."

"We could not be happier with Phil and his AMAZING big band. Right from the very outset things started well as he was very friendly in our conversations and happy to accommodate requests based on our tastes, as well as make his own suggestions (which we of course trusted given his experience!) When it came to the day itself the band were efficient at setting up and getting ready. Finally, the performance... WOW! 80% of the people invited to our wedding were professional musicians and the amount of positive comments was overwhelming. The band played lots of our favourites to keep us happy (including an amazing performance of In the Mood at end the evening), as well as plenty of classics to keep everyone on the dance floor (which, incidentally, was absolutely packed for the whole evening, which is something I've never witnessed before at a wedding, so that in itself is a testament to just how good and entertaining this band is). They even played a few strict tempo numbers which made our ballroom dancing friends very happy indeed. All in all the band and the vocalists were absolutely fantastic and we couldn't recommend them higher. They made our wedding all the more special and unique and we cannot thank them enough. Need a big band? Look no further! Phil's your man!!"
