"Thank you so much for your email. We wanted to write you as well and thank you and your band so much for the beautiful music as well as playing the Jewish numbers. Your gig set the perfect tone for our wedding and our guests were also full of praise. Our only regret is that we could not listen to you more! Thank you also for being so flexible about the timings as we were running behind our schedule."

"The Backbeats are a sensational 60's covers band, recreating a unique Sixties vibe that is not outdated but sounds fresh and contemporary and suitable for all ages. At our party the guests,both young and older, danced all evening to every song,in fact,the night wasn't long enough."

"We are a Special Needs Transport Company who supplies services for anyone who have mobility issues. We booked Ruby to perform at our Employee of the Year Awards 2018. In the ordinance were some of our Ring and Ride passengers and also children from one of the special schools we assist with transport. Ruby was amazing not only with her singing talents but also her talent of getting everyone to join in, including the children. We would not hesitate to book Ruby again."

"We had the most wonderful, beautiful wedding day and it was made all the more special by your beautiful singing at the church and with your band at the reception. Everyone loved it and Trevor was overwhelmed when you started singing. I can't thank you and your boys enough, you were brilliant. Lots of love, Zoe and Trevor xx"

"Jess was fantastic from the word go! As soon as I booked, we had regular communication and Jess was great in understanding what we needed from the day (from choice of music to timings etc....). On the day, Jess turned up early and set up with no problem at all, leaving us to deal with some last minute things for my dads 85th birthday. She even managed to calm me and other family members down when things got a bit chaotic with her calm, friendly and reassuring manner! The sets that Jess played were perfect! Just as we had requested in terms of genre and style and what a beautiful voice! Before long, we were up and dancing and singing along. Jess made this day magical for us which is just what I had imagined for my dads birthday. Everyone, from the youngest at 7 to the oldest at 85, had an incredible day and were full of praise for Jess. I would highly recommend Jess and would certainly rebook. I was told by my mum that a number of the neighbours were out listening as well in their gardens and loved it too so when rules allow, we may look to get another booking in! Thank you so much Jess ❤️"

"Thoroughly impressed with The Southern Sons who played for our wedding. Their acoustic set for our drinks reception was perfect, and then their evening set was fun and energetic and got everyone up. Everyone had an amazing time. You guys are incredible!” Jack and Erin, Wedding couple, May 2018"

"Swinging like a barn door in a Texas breeze, the album shows the tightness of a band that have spent many years on the road. An established favourite on the jazz and nostalgia circuit, this well respected and popular five piece have evolved a contemporary style from a mash up of genres from the early 20th century...Cool jazz guitar, bass driven swing, excellent dobro, evocative harmonica and smokey vocal tones, velvet dipped in bourbon. Material is varied and well chosen, a souvenir from stage from one of the best live jazz-lite bands on the circuit."
