Review Centre: Gypsy Swing Bands

"Jonny and his band played for us at our wedding in November 2018. From the first point of contacting him and booking he was very professional and friendly. When you're organizing a wedding you really appreciate bookings that are no-fuss and Jonny was definitely that. So many of our guests on the day gave compliments about the bands playing. They started playing when we left the ceremony room and it sounded fantastic. They played a mixture of genres but mostly French cafe style, mixed in with some old classics; it added to a great atmosphere. We would definitely recommend The Jonny Kerry Quartet! "

"Such a fantastic band! They appealed to all the guests at our wedding. Everyone, old and young, said how much they enjoyed the upbeat songs. They really helped to create the garden party feel we wanted for our day. They were also really lovely chaps and very flexible with last minute changes. Would book them again in a heart beat. Thank you!"

"We booked Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio for a sixtieth birthday party. Very much a family event, so all ages including children, who particularly enjoyed it, although everyone had a really great time. One of the parents told me that her little one has decided that a ceilidh is the very best kind of birthday party, so the bar was set high for all future birthdays there! A few people knew the dances already, but most didn’t, and our caller guided us through each dance so that everyone could join in the fun! The atmosphere was lovely, and the musicians were impressive, plus really lovely people who were accommodating, helpful and great fun. I would definitely recommend them; they were fantastic, and the whole evening was an absolute joy. The only thing now is to find a good reason to do it all again!"

"'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!' "

"Oscar and gang absolutely made the ceremony and drinks reception at our wedding. The weather was horrible, and our outdoor plans were in tatters, however the atmosphere inside the barn where our ceremony was eventually held was phenomenal, and that was very much because of this excellent band. Everybody commented how fantastic they were. All requests were played, and communication was excellent as Oscar was responsive throughout. If you need a band for your wedding, DO NOT HESITATE TO BOOK THESE! Would give them 6 stars if I could. Thanks guys!"

"We had the Kemptown Hot Club performing during an informal but very important dinner with prestigious guests. All the members are very talented as well as extremely kind and friendly. They tried their best in especially difficult circumstances, for sure their participation, patience and incredible great mood really made the difference in our event."
