"Trip for Biscuits are such an incredible band! They played at our wedding in July 2022, and we and our guests absolutely loved them. They were really helpful and friendly when communicating beforehand and answered any questions we had, and super professional throughout. Their performance was so great and had us all dancing, we loved all their covers. One of our friends' children told her dad that they were 'her favourite band ever'! :D Would 100% recommend them to anyone looking to book a great band."

"I booked Hetty & the jazz band for an Italian themed cocktail party for a pop up shop launch in London. They were flexible with numbers and budget for me (I only needed a 3 piece, not the traditional 5 piece group). They also had to play outside and we're very accommodating of that and brought their own speakers / soft music btw sets. So I didn't need to worry about anything music related on the evening which was a real relief. And they were great. They really lifted and helped make the party a huge success and were truly perfect for our event. I had them sing only Italian themed songs, but they would be wonderful at any style of jazz performance. Easy to work to work with and incredibly professional - I highly recommend. Sarah "

"Hooray for Jazz Eclipse! They stepped in fairly last minute and we’re so pleased they did because they were even better than the band we’d originally booked. Conor’s voice was amazing, and Joe’s guitar playing had everyone smiling. Jazz Eclipse are now our go-to recommendation for all our friends getting married! "

"Our residents where enchanted by Miriam and enthralled by her playing at a recent mini concert she gave at Whitegates Care Home. To have such a talented musician in our lounge was a special privilege and Miriam’s enthusiastic engagement with our residents was much appreciated. One said, “The viola had such a wonderful sound… it’s a beautiful instrument and was played beautifully by Miriam. I asked her to play a special song and she is going to find it and practise it for next time. I hope we have her back soon."

"Ma Bessie and the Pigfoot Band, so as you might imagine, we stayed rooted in the 20’s and 30’s, but with a more rounded, sophisticated feel. No one does Bessie Smith better that Ma Bessie, and we are lucky to have her as a local artist here in Reading. As her Pigfoot duo finished getting ready for the set, Ms Bessie launched into an unaccompanied ‘Life Is Too Short’ taken from her album of the same name. As soon as she takes to the stage she creates an immediate connection with her audience. They are all her friends, and she chats her way through the set. With timeless classics such as ‘Hot Time In The Old Town Tonight’ and ‘Do Your Duty’, Bessie Smith featured highly in the set. Songs like ‘Downhearted Blues’ and ‘Trouble Trouble’ kept the mood intact, whilst songs like ‘Sugar In My Bowl’ and ‘Whip It To A Jelly’ highlighted the risqué fun elements of the music of the era. Matt Foster provides the perfect solid guitar rhythm and bass line support for the smooth yet gutsy vocal, and with Chuck Lloyd adding his superb saxophone it was another fine performance. "
