"The South west swing collective played on our Wedding day and they were absolutely fantastic! They picked great music, perfectly mirroring what we’d asked for, and intuitively picked up on the vibe they got off of our guests. Everybody loved them and it gave the night a real energy. They engaged the crowd and helped create a party we will never forget! We would highly recommend them to anyone who wants live entertainment for any event. An overwhelmingly positive experience from start to finish."

"Very professional act. We had the 4 piece with live sax and trumpet. Sounded great. Excellent night, and they even waited until the Rugby had finished before they started so we could watch the game! Dance floor packed, everyone danced their feet off. Couldn't ask for more."

"So grateful for playing our wedding. Really made the day extra special, quality and technical skill was amazing, completely captured the vibe. Incredibly professional, supportive and friendly. They provided all the equipment and set up around the limited times we had (there for around 16 hours in total). Managed their system for our own play list around the live sets for no extra charge and offered to put a playlist together for us to take away some of the stress for the day if we needed. Played an acoustic set for an hour and 2 hour electric. Music was amazing anyway but also played a few requests of songs that meant a lot to us. Reasonable and affordable price, great value especially for the high quality performance and help. Would highly recommend. Really made the day and night for us. Thank you so much guys!!! Five stars!!!!"

It was wonderful to see the dance floor so energetic with such a massive age range of friends & family enjoying it. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to family and friends looking for a band!

"Josh and I both just wanted to thank you and the other band members for really making our day so special. Your music was absolutely perfect - right from the music in the ceremony to the full band in the evening. Everyone commented on how amazing your voice is and so I just wanted to let you know how much we and everyone else enjoyed your music. My 4 year old niece Emma was your biggest fan - the next morning when she woke up, she was apparently asking for you and your music! "

"Adam was with a team session musicians recording an album at the legendary Rockfield Studios in Monmouthshire. Queen recorded 'Bohemian Rhapsody' here! I have worked with Adam since 2014. He is a friendly, professional musician with great musical skills and a pleasure to work with. He played guitar and bass on the album and was part of the songwriting team. He is a member of the band 'Wolfgang Vaubran', reformed from 'Ephemerals' (of which Adam was also a member during 4 albums.) They are signed to my label 'Jalapeno Records' in Brighton. "

"I booked Hot Tamales as a surprise for my husband to play at our wedding reception because he loves blues style music. Giulio the guitarist answered all my emails promptly and was very helpful. The quality of the music, both the singing and the guitarist was excellent. The repertoire fitted the brief perfectly and as I requested they played a James Taylor song. All my guests really enjoyed their performance and it made our special day memorable. We all really loved these guys! "

"Professional, fun and excellent musicians. This band is superb in every way! They played a selection of high-energy, swinging tunes which got everyone up and dancing. The lead singer was adept at reading the crowd, sensing what got people moving and tailoring the music accordingly, making a fun night for all involved. I might have to plan another party, just so I can hire them again!"
