Review Centre: Swing Bands

"As I am really picky with EVERYTHING it took me a long while to decide on a band (as I planned most of the wedding), but then I came across Sintilate Music and they sent me a short video of them performing our future wedding song - and I was sold. That was just the beginning... then the wedding day came and they performed at ceremony, cocktail hour and made a real frikkin' good show at the reception. We got so many guests saying what an amazing band we had at the wedding! What we also loved is that they were so friendly with us and everybody else, they really made a big impact on our day. So THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN! YOU GUYS WERE PERFECT! We would have picked you over and over again, cause your an amazing band, performers and people!"

"Fi has, rightly, a greatly praised voice, and this worked a treat in that environment. She possesses excellent technique & frequently went for complex lines and pulled them all off with aplomb. She has equally good dynamic sensibilities and used shifts of these with discretion for extra effect. Alex's playing mirrored this: skilled yet tasteful with generally chorded accompaniment when Fi was singing and when it came to his solos, the runs, though often improvised, served the song, not his ego. They have an empathetic understanding I think: not just in the interplay between voice & piano but also in their several duets & this was another element in the playfulness"

"Dr Jazz arrived at our wedding in good time and set up their stage area and equipment with no fuss. Looking keen and smart with their authentic outfits and array of instruments. Already I was impressed with the professionalism and appearance of the band, but little did I know just what I had booked for the evening. Matthew Hardy’s outfit, Dr Jazz, simply surpassed all our expectations. Never had I guessed we would receive such a wonderful, exciting, dynamic but most of all musically awesome series of sets. The accuracy and quality of the performances were second to none. Studio quality sound and execution, professionally managed without a hint of fuss or issue. The musicianship of the ensemble was outstanding. The set list was varied and of a consistently high standard. The arrangements were just perfect and the solos were fantastic. Matthew himself leads the band with confidence and skill. His stage presence tasteful and engaging. The clips available of the band are wonderful but even they cannot capture just how tight and well executed the ensemble’s live performance is. I cannot recommend this band highly enough to anyone considering them. They set an atmosphere at our wedding that was everything we had hoped and more, carrying the mood and wonderful day’s atmosphere from dinner into the evening. They are worth every dime. 10/10 would definitely book again."

"We hired Tom for our clients wedding. Communication was key to him and all emails send leading up to and after the wedding had been clearly laid across. On the day he arrived a lot earlier than required, plugged his kit in and was ready to play. The setup was neat and tidy and his music knowledge was fantastic! He interacted with the guests and got them involved in his set with plenty of dancing. Since the wedding we have booked Tom for over 50 events and each one he’s been absolutely brilliant! Our clients love him, we love him and he will continue to be our preferred musician for years to come. Being in charge of wedding planning for a company myself I honestly wouldn’t recommend him if I wasn’t sure he’d impress every single person reading this review! "

"We booked Absolute Company for a special event we were hosting at a cinema- they were superb. Despite giving them a lot of information at the last minute, they were flexible and forthcoming and really had our audience dancing and cheering. I'd highly recommend them to anyone!"
