Review Centre: Vintage Bands

"'Swing Gitan UK joined the Nottingham Jazz Orchestra on the bill of the Christmas Jazz Fest last weekend. Having seen Swing Gitan a number of times, I have always been massively impressed with the musical and technical ability of all members of the band. Their music would sound at home on the streets or riverbank walkways of Paris, but we were lucky enough for them to join us for a unique lineup of bands. Within just a few bars of their first number, (insert what you played first here, I can't remember, sorry lol), it is clear to all that Elliott Lewis and Wayne Jefferies, who take the positions as guitarists within the band, are masters of their instruments and faithfully re-create the music of Django Reinhardt, but adding their own style to numbers such as Minor Swing, Blue Bossa, and Undecided. Joined by bassist Rob Coates and James Tolhurst completing the lineup, their enthusiasm is infectious and the music always driving. If you ever get the chance to catch these guys doing a set, you will not be disappointed!' "

"We sincerely thank you, The Three Tones, for playing at our wedding! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed your music and were just so impressed. You most certainly made an incredible difference to our day, and we thank you so much for being a part of our celebration. In addition, you also made the lead up to organising the wedding a very easy process through your communication, putting background music on between sets so we didn’t have to organise anything extra and your price for putting on such spectacular entertainment was incredibly reasonable - we are just so grateful. If we get to celebrate our marriage with my family in the UK, we definitely would love you to play again! Many, many thanks The Three Tones!"

"Thank you so much to the Kings of Hot Swing. They were absolutely brilliant and really set the mood for the evening. I've had so much lovely feedback, particularly on the first dance, which was fantastic. Thanks again! "

"Tom sang at our daughters wedding and was just brilliant. Turned up in good time to set up, looked so smart and then gave two brilliant sets of music that the whole audience absolutely loved. The wedding was quite simply breathtaking from start to finish and the only critiscism I received was that I didn't book Tom for a longer time!"

"We invited South West Swing Collective to be our house band for the afternoon as we ran an intergenerational tea dance event as part of The International Agatha Christie Festival. From young children to dancers in their 90s, South West Swing Collective entertained everyone with boundless energy and style. Thank you for getting everyone tapping their toes, up on their feet and swinging around the room. "
