"Ma Bessie and the Pigfoot Band, so as you might imagine, we stayed rooted in the 20’s and 30’s, but with a more rounded, sophisticated feel. No one does Bessie Smith better that Ma Bessie, and we are lucky to have her as a local artist here in Reading. As her Pigfoot duo finished getting ready for the set, Ms Bessie launched into an unaccompanied ‘Life Is Too Short’ taken from her album of the same name. As soon as she takes to the stage she creates an immediate connection with her audience. They are all her friends, and she chats her way through the set. With timeless classics such as ‘Hot Time In The Old Town Tonight’ and ‘Do Your Duty’, Bessie Smith featured highly in the set. Songs like ‘Downhearted Blues’ and ‘Trouble Trouble’ kept the mood intact, whilst songs like ‘Sugar In My Bowl’ and ‘Whip It To A Jelly’ highlighted the risqué fun elements of the music of the era. Matt Foster provides the perfect solid guitar rhythm and bass line support for the smooth yet gutsy vocal, and with Chuck Lloyd adding his superb saxophone it was another fine performance. "

"Eugene and his Carabana Steel Band were excellent. They were all such good musicians and were a delight to have at our party. They arrived in good time and looked so smart in their colourful shirts! I very much hope we will be able to have them again on another occasion! "

"Really good experience with Eccentric Pony playing at our wedding party. Jimmy liaised closely with me throughout the process about the timings, song list, first dance etc. Very reassuring about the first dance, which we were quite nervous about! On the day they turned up on time and were ready to go at the time we planned for, we actually kept them waiting, sorry! They are excellent musicians and the 3 sets couldn't have gone better. The dancefloor was full whenever they played and they really got the atmosphere going. They kept the party going with DJ sets between and after their band sets. We would highly recommend them and would definitely consider them for future parties. Thanks guys for making our wedding such a good party! Karthi and Rachel."

"We hired the Tom Belbin Trio for my dads 70th birthday party and they were great! Good communication beforehand, arrived and set up on time and discreetly and played their socks off for 2 x 45 minute sets which was beautifully played, upbeat jazz. I would definitely recommend. Like"

"The band After Dark were brilliant. Arrival and setting up in our gardens was unobtrusive and efficient. They were friendly and checked on our final requirements. Everyone enjoyed their music, we had so many people comment on how good they were and asking how we found them. We would definitely book them again for any future events. We are very happy customers"
