"The three piece band were fantastic - they were incredibly flexible with start times and the logistics on the day. Every single guest commented about how great the band was and how perfect their style of music was for the wedding reception we had. Would highly recommend!"

"Dear Jess, Thank you on behalf of the whole Unwin Family for everything you did to make Olivia’s 21st Birthday Party a success. We have had so many compliments about the music and the band. You managed to get 3 generations up and dancing, all loving it. Thank you for lending us your mic for speeches, for David & Alice’s singing and for Grace and for your patience in helping us to get everything working smoothly. We hope you had fun playing The Emirates Stadium- it was certainly the most fun I’ve had there this season! Wishing you and the band great success. Best wishes, Diana "

"These lovely people came to play during the drinks at my daughter’s 21st birthday party. They were very attentive to her style, flexible on the timings of their sets, friendly and accommodating. Great music too - just the right tempo. Wouldn’t hesitate to use them again. June 2024"

"the Jelly Roll Jazz Band provided music for the wake after the funeral of my father. Their music was lively and engaging without being distracting, clearly audible without being too loud for a conversation focused event and GREAT FUN. They did exactly as they were asked - I can't comment on their capacity outside of this. Clearly that event will never recur, but I would be delighted to work with them again for another event"

"You guys were absolutely AMAZING in every way; you were incredibly accommodating and helpful in the run up and then wowed everyone on the night! Every single guest I have spoken to since the wedding has commented on how amazing you all were, friendly, fun and super talented. Your surprise rendition of All You Need Is Love was the most magical moment and my favourite memory of the night. Thank you so very very much, I cannot recommend you or praise you all enough; you were all, quite simply, spectacular and the best band at a wedding I have ever heard!"

"Many thanks to you and the band for making my daughter's wedding very enjoyable for myself and all the guests. Everyone told us that it was the best wedding they had been to in a long time. Everything went to plan and it made it a day to remember and the band was perfect it was something that we wanted because we didn't want loud disco music and you did us proud! We will be passing your name on to any family or friends who may need a band in the future. Once again many thanks for the service you provided not just on the day but before the day as well."

"Absolutely amazing band! So much better than I imagined from their promo videos. Literally, everyone at the party adored them and thought thye were awesome (that word was used several times). They were also just lovely people who were a pleasure to have around. The singing was off the charts and I can not recommend them highly enough."

"I had the Misophone Collective to play my wedding a couple of weeks back, and they were sensational! The multi-instrumentalist singer they provided in particular was an incredible showman. We would highly recommend them."

"These guys blew us away. They were ridiculously good, they let our friend sing a song, they were just seamless and endlessly talented. We would recommend these guys to anyone who wants real finger-clicking music that creates a wonderful atmosphere and pours magic into your big night. These guys blew us away. Seriously, they were amazing. We could not have loved Dai and the guys more."
