Review Centre: Swing Bands

"When my husband and I celebrated our 50th birthdays we wanted a cool and sophisticated party, so we planned a summer party in a marquee in the garden. Joel and Ben created the perfect atmosphere playing their soulful jazz. Everyone thought they were amazing! I would thoroughly recommend them."

"We booked Prophets of Swing as a trio for the evening party at our wedding. They played a fantastic lively set. Our guests loved it. It was so special having live music and the rates were very reasonable for such talented musicians. I would 100% recommend to a friend!"

"Fran was fantastic! She only had five days to prepare, yet turned up and delivered the most amazing set. In no time at all she had a large crowd enthralled. Extremely professional, accommodating and happy to tailor her offering. We will use her again and again...you should too! "

"One Jump Ahead were the highlight of our family event! We had booked the 5 piece band and they were absolutely fantastic. They had people up and dancing in no time and adapted very well to the crowd with their huge repertoire. Communication beforehand was also great. Thanks again for the perfect afternoon!"

"My wife & I recently hired Olly's House of Jazz for our wedding. We knew we were in for a good time when guests were itching to dance, just from hearing the band's sound check! Their playing was immaculate and they really knew how to light up the room, every single guest was either dancing (myself included) or they were tapping along from their seats. We could not have asked for a better band to play on our big day. I would also like to touch upon how responsive, patient and accommodating Olly was during the lead up to the day, agreeing not only to play multiple songs that I requested, but also learning a song for the first dance, which was so good, it has tainted my love for the original. All in all, it was a pleasure to have Olly and his band at our wedding and I wholly recommend them."

Hi Kieran, Thank you so much for your kind words - it was such a treat to play for you both and your guests! Thank you for looking after us and for the wonderful energy of the evening :). Best wishes, Olly

"Well, where can I start! From initially stumbling upon Dr Jazz and realising that there was something rather special about their approach and unique sound, to the very first email and phone calls to discuss our plans for the day, all the way through to our Wedding day itself - Dr Jazz and company were brilliant. Helpful, friendly, and wonderfully entertaining, we could not have asked for anything more. The set itself was fantastic - we were blown away with how much of an impact they made, not only in terms of everyone feeling the urge to get up to dance (which was a slight worry for us before the day!), but also with their spot on interaction with the guests, and overall management and ownership of the evening. We really knew we'd made the right decision as soon as the first note was played – talk about creating a spectacle!! In terms of a front man Matthew is absolutely superb, and his supporting crew of brilliantly talented musicians helped make our day one to remember for both us and our guests. Thank you all so very much for everything. We know what it's like trying to find the 'right band', ourselves having trawled through many hundreds of sample tracks from other people and groups, and the worries that come with it regarding whether people will like it, whether it'll be well received etc. The best advice I can honestly give is that if you are sitting there reading this review, and you have enjoyed the sample tracks you've listened to, then please don't hesitate to book these guys. You will not regret it, and you and your guests will certainly never forget it. They were nothing short of marvellous. Once again we wanted to say thank you very much for everything - we really had a fantastic time, as did everyone else in attendance, and it is all thanks to you and your crew. You certainly made the evening, if not the day for us, and we are so pleased and lucky to have been able to book you to play for us. You were nothing short of brilliant, and we can't stop talking or thinking about how amazing you were (and nor can anyone else!) It was so lovely to meet you all in person. All the best for the future, and please rest assured that we'll be singing your praises for the years to come!"
