"Jack was exceptional! Our Mum is an enormous Frank Sinatra fan and as a result we, as a family, all love his songs. It was a small group in a large space which could have proven to be a problem but Jack made it feel like a concert and Mum absolutely loved it. I would strongly recommend Jack for any occasion, his professionalism, kindness and desire to deliver a great time whatever size of event could not be beaten. Thank you Jack for making Mum’s 85th so special, we really appreciated it. Tarnia, Fleur, Frank and the entire family xx "

"We had Jamie as our saxophone 🎷 player. I insisted on having him after a stroll through town and hearing him play. I searched on social media for him and he truly was the most amazing person we could of had for the day. He was mind blowing and honestly cannot recommend him highly enough. Not on is he professional but absolutely lovely to. A absolute asset to any wedding! Thank you again Jamie!!"

"We were so lucky to have JAM Duo play at our wedding. Their performance was absolutely beautiful—elegant, heartfelt, and perfectly timed. The combination of piano and cello created such a romantic atmosphere, and many of our guests commented on how wonderful the music was. They have a very large playlist and we loved hearing the piano and cello versions of popular songs. They were also wonderful to work with—professional, kind, and accommodating of our music requests. We highly recommend them to anyone looking to add something truly special to their event. Thank you both for making our day unforgettable!"

"Last year I saw Rythm Rebels play at the Brixton Jamm. The crowd at the event was young, probably university students and other people close to my age, and the spirits were high. Everyone was chatting excitedly about what we were going to see. When the lights went out and the countdown finished, energetic music filled the room and everyone started dancing and enjoying themselves. Song after song I was more and more immersed in the show and was thoroughly enjoying myself. Rythm Rebels ensured that we heard some all-time favourites and also presented to us some original work. What I especially liked was the fact that I heard a fresh take on songs I already know which made them even more interesting. At the end of the night I was feeling energised and went home recharged. Altogether, it was a fantastic experience and I had a blast! I am looking forward to having the chance to see the Rythm Rebels perform again. "

"Hi Matt We absolutely loved you guys. All the best songs and fantastic singing. We wanted a full dance floor and got that in spades. I can't believe I missed the final twenty mins dealing with an overtired child who had lost her sweets as I could hear some amazing bangers being belted out. Thank you so much. Gennie"

"We stumbled across Darren Shaw while we were away for Christmas in Blackpool. This young man was one of a number of entertainers who were booked to entertain us and another 40 guests at the wonderful family run hotel that we return to every time we visit Blackpool. Now, everybody knows what to expect from hotel entertainers, a bit of Elvis, mostly 50's and 60's songs, voices that are just flat enough to irritate without actually forcing you to get up and walk out, generally very average. Well not Darren Shaw. Darren got the longest and loudest applause you have ever heard forty something people making, he took the roof off, and deservedly so. Quite what he is doing on the hotel circuit I really don't know. You have never in your life heard anyone professional or otherwise with a voice like this. His set started with what you would expect, a couple of Kenny Rogers songs, good voice, bang on the notes very deep and easy to listen to and then the intro started for a well known Dusty Springfield song. I expected a joke of some kind, but what I didn't expect was a rendition of "You Don't Have To Say you Love Me", so perfect that I truly believed that he was miming to the original track. I suppose shock was my first reaction, desperately trying to catch him miming and show that this voice was not coming from Darren. I think everyone else was as shocked as I was. The reception this song got was rapturous at which point he actually asked if anyone thought he was miming and being me I just had to say something. He then proceeded to sing falsetto without any backing and sang both parts of "You're The One That I Want" the John Travolta and Olivia Newton John song from Grease. I was absolutely astounded. Darren Shaw can sing female vocals better than any cabaret singer I have heard. His first set had to be cut short while we were still coming to terms with what we had heard but an hour later he returned to do another 30 minutes or so. During this set we went from Tom Jones " Delilah", very reasonable, to Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" which was truly astonishing. Ask yourself, have you ever heard anyone else trying to imitate Celine Dion ?, because I haven't. They won't do it simply because they can't, but Darren Shaw can. This was followed by the classic karaoke song "My Way" which thankfully I was able to record on video camera. I have heard plenty of people singing this, from Sinatra and Presley, to the Sex Pistols, and everyone in between. Everyone sings this, and it is always the most popular song in any karaoke competition. No one else sings it like this. The only version I have ever heard that was better than Darren Shaw's was by Sinatra himself. This was better than any version I have heard elsewhere, professional or not, and the applause was thunderous. Darren finished up with an Elvis song that was every bit as good as the original, and I can say that it was a real privilege to be there that night and see a truly awesome performance from a young man with a unique and remarkable talent. After the show Darren was happy to spend nearly an hour talking to the guests and I was lucky enough to be able to have a chat to him. Only 33 but on stage for 15 years he has no appreciation of his own talent. Very down to earth and easy to talk to he told me that he has a repertoire of over 4000 songs so far and due to professional jealousy he has found it necessary to change his set completely at the last moment on a number of occasions but has been able to do this without any difficulty. He has faced hostility in some quarters as the shock that his exquisite female vocals generate doesn't always manifest itself appreciatively. This horrifies me, as his voice is truly unique and deserves a great deal more exposure. Darren has his own website which is well worth a visit, and as you will see on there he has a stage show in Kelso coming up as well as plenty of other bookings. If you get the chance don't miss his show. Any TV producers looking for talent, anyone looking for a show that will have an audience crying out for more, don't look any further than Darren Shaw, he is sensational."

"The evening was hugely enjoyed by all who attended - my musical friends present thought you were excellent (they play in bands themselves) and you definitely added to the welcoming and fun ambiance of the Penthouse that evening, I even noticed one or two couples having a bit of a dance!"

"If you are looking for a good all round band for your pub, party or wedding, The Five Bells recommends Jolly Polly and The Pirates. They put on a fantastic show Friday and were loved by all. Well done guys!"
