Review Centre: Vintage Bands

"We hired The very popular Polka Dot Peaches for an event in June. They were amazing and were terrific with the little girls afterwards in taking some time to allow for photos to be taken. All three are not only professional but very easy to get along with. We would certainly book them again."

"Doesn't time fly by! Two weeks today since we got married and you came along to keep us entertained. It was an amazing day and you and your band contributed immensely. From the moment I contacted you I knew we had made the right choice. Your communication and understanding was excellent. Our 1930s theme fit right in with the venue and your style of music. We received lots of comments from our guests about how lovely it was to sit on the lawn drinking Pimms listening to you play whilst we were off having photos taken. It was so relaxing and elegant. Like being on a film set, one guest said. I think what made it for me was when all the guests had gone inside to sit down for the meal and we were passing some hotel guests sitting on the terrace enjoying the sun. As I walked passed one gentleman starting clapping and commented how beautiful I looked and thanked me for providing such wonderful music that he had enjoyed listening to; a real unexpected pleasure. In fact the venue told me the following day that quite a few hotel guests had commented on the great music. The evening was astounding. In the DJ sets you provided between Dr Jazz's live sessions you managed to fit in all our guests' special songs. This made it a lot more personal. And thank you so much for rearranging one of your songs to fit in with the routine we had learned for our first dance. This just shows how versatile and amenable you are. We would like to thank you for coming and making our wedding day most enjoyable, not just for us but for our guests. I have already been recommending you and will continue to do so."

"The Swing Stakes are a joy to watch. Their seamless swing arrangements of modern-day tunes, combined with fabulous renditions of swing classics, are impeccably executed. For expert musicianship and skill combined with the decadence of the swing era, these guys are the ones to watch."

"This long-standing UK jug band capture the knockabout sound of the best Memphis jug bands of the 20s and 30s extremely well in addition to turning their hand to melodic blues, vintage jazz, old timey music and hokum. It all makes for a very fine and fun releas."

"Thanks for performing at our wedding. The evening was spectacular and a large part of it was down to you guys. All our guests told Sian and I how amazing you were. Really easy speaking to you in the lead up to get everything perfect for the night as well. Cheers and good luck for the future."

"After several attempts to book The Toledos we finally had them at the Iona Families Club in Gosport! What a fantastic band who had everyone dancing, singing and toe tapping along to some great music. Despite having 2 festival gigs before us that day the energy was electric, and so professional. Our members are still buzzing and wanting another booking asap. Cannot recommend this band highly enough. Thank you so much and look forward to seeing you again in the near future."

"Just wanted to say a huge thank you to yourself & your band for playing at our event last Saturday night. You were fantastic and it certainly set the feel for the evening playing outside the Marquee as guests arrived. The feedback I have received so far has all been very positive and I will certainly recommend you to all those that are looking for a jazz band. Once again thank you very much. "

"Amy was a delight to work with! As well as having a lovely voice, she was extremely professional, reliable and conscientious. She put together a great band for me, was patient and polite during our many rehearsals, and always had a smile on her face. I would highly recommend her!"

"The Backbeats played for our Silver Wedding Party and were excellent. They played a variety of music and provided a disco for the end of the evening. The party went with a swing for those who wanted to dance and for those who just wanted to listen to the music. This is the second time we've heard the Backbeats and we would love to hear them again."

"Many thanks Rachel. The three songs you sang in church added that special touch to Heather and Barry's wedding service, making our day that little bit more special. Kind regards. Paul and Mandy Thompson. "

"Dear Jess, Thank you from me and Mat!!! You and your band have been absolutely fantastic - we really enjoyed having you sing and play so beautifully and for being so flexible with timing. EVERYONE loved you and the band - they all said you have the most fabulous/ stunning voice and presence. The "EVERYONE" includes all the chefs (they were boogying whilst getting the meal out), the floor staff, and my neighbours who were still working in the garden and didn't quite make over to dinner. Thank you also for singing the 2 songs I requested - my brother (the one who led the speeches) was very touched as they were for him and thought you sang them beautifully! We will certainly be in touch again when we entertain with live music again! With very best wishes to you and all your band members Yvonne & Mat"

Families that were able to attend the show, residents and staff all enjoyed your performance and you sounded great! We definitely will be booking you again!"
