"Fleur sang a beautiful set for our wedding in August. She sang a gorgeous mix of dance numbers and slower romantic ones, and made our reception very special. She was a delight to have there with us and tailored her set to include our requests as well. I'm so glad we booked Fleur and can't recommend her enough for any occasion - she is relaxed, elegant and has such a beautiful voice, it set such a lovely tone for our evening. Thank you, Fleur!!"

"Hi Chris (& other band members), Just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for the amazing music & performance! So many people came up to me during the night, the next day & the day after to say how much they loved it & how great you were! It was the first time we had live music at our Christmas party & it made such a difference… it has even been titled a number of times as ‘the best Navig8 party ever’!! You were a pleasure to work with in the lead up to the event & on the night itself. Thanks very much Best Wishes."

"Just wanted to say a huge thank you to The Bandits for playing at our wedding. We had run totally over but the stress dissipated when you guys started playing and had everyone up in no time! We were absolutely exhausted from all the dancing. Our guests loved you all the way from the 4-year-old to the 94-year-old! We wouldn't hesitate to recommend you, and we look forward to seeing you perform again!"

"I have know Mark personally for many years and have only ever known him to put 100% in to every aspect of his music career so when my wife and I started to plan our big day, I knew that his passion and skill would bring something really special and unique to the day.We had The Swing Gents trio perform at our wedding and the guys were fantastic! Really set the mood for the afternoon whilst we were having the photos taken. The set list that Mark put together was perfect and really encompassed the feel of the day.Would highly recommend Mark and The Swing Gents for any event."

"Fleur and her fellow musician Hugh played a very generous hour and a half of music over two sessions, socialising in between and with the other guests. Their music is great and we got thanks and much positive feedback from Our friends. Generally Fleur performs jazz standards and blues, billie Holiday-Influence, , well punctuated with Latin American and bossa nova sounds from the charts, past and present. Her guitarist Hugh accompanies to a very high professional standard and treats the audience to the occasional virtuoso solo. Fully, highly recommended. "

"We booked the Swing Zippers to provide some music during the reception and meal for our ball and they were superb! They're really helpful and friendly and are excellent musicians who setup with little fuss but let the wonderfully varied music speak for itself. The feedback from those attending was excellent and this includes several professional musicians. Although ours was quite a large venue they would suit an space large or small and have a very quick and easy setup. We highly recommend them!"

"We sincerely thank you Tri Tones for playing at our wedding. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed your music and were just so impressed. It most certainly made an incredible difference to our day, and we thank you so much for being a part of our celebration. If we get to celebrate our marriage with my family in the UK, we definitely would love you to play again!"

"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. "

"Tom performed at our wedding and we were all blown away. He had an amazing voice, which was so easy to listen to. Tom created a brilliant atmosphere with his music and even got our guests up dancing in no time! He really got us involved and we couldn't have asked for a better performance. He received so many compliments from our guests and the staff. Tom definitely made our evening even more enjoyable and we will book him again when ever we have the chance! Thank you so much for being apart of our wedding day and truly exceeding our expectations."

"The band the Southern Sons booked through Richard at Richer Music were amazing. The whole experience of booking the band for a special event was easy, relaxed and efficient. The 3 piece band itself were very friendly, fun, great musicians and liked by all at our event. We had many comments throughout the evening of how good they were. We cannot thank them enough for helping to make our evening so special."
