Review Centre: Swing Bands

"We thought Down for the Count did an outstanding job and so did all of our friends and family. Everyone could not stop raving about how great the music was. Honestly, we wouldn't have changed a thing and were so impressed. Most of all, it was so special to hear New York, New York as a closing song and we really appreciate your initiative to create those extra special touches for us! Without a doubt, we would recommend Down for the Count to any other friends getting married."

"Would fully recommend Martin. Great singer and real nice guy as well. He made my wife's birthday party very special. Good interactions with the audience but not in an overbearing or embarrassing anyone way. Amazing as well that he travelled the width of the country to entertain us."

"After a long search for a Jazz & Swing band for my partner's 50th, I contacted What's New. They were in contact with me immediately and we quickly and easily made the booking. Sam was great with communication and we were able to discuss repertoire etc. They were the perfect band for a birthday party and immensely talented at what they do. If you're looking for an effortlessly cool, contemporary jazz and swing band to entertain and perform beautiful arrangements, this is the band for you."

"First time I'd been to a Jazz concert. It was what I expected and more. An outside charity event at Gallery House near Marykirk in Aberdeenshire. It was a cold evening for June but the band kept us warm ? Hoping this event happens every year and they come back??"

"A surprise party for my parents 50th Wedding Anniversary and Sarah was just amazing, the choice of songs were brilliant and we wished she could’ve sang the whole evening. Certainly the highlight of the night was ‘Hit The Road Jack’ sing-a-long with my Dad & brothers, Sarah joined in and made it so memorable, such a wonderful video. I cannot recommend Sarah highly enough"

"Dr Jazz was great on Saturday evening. The performance created a nice, lively atmosphere for the event and all the guests obviously enjoyed it! I'll hold on to your details for any future events that we may hold at the hall. I'll also pass your details on to clients who are looking for entertainment for their weddings/parties."

"I hired Nick through last minute musicians as a Duo and they were great! Nic was able to play lots that got everyone dancing and joining in, he took requests and even did an impromptu duet with myself after a request from another guest. They played songs I had requested before the party brilliantly and gave the perfect country western vibe to our hoe down. He was so polite and respectful all evening and a genuinely lovely person. Last minute musicians were great with finding him as I was very particular about what I wanted for the party, they sent lots of options and searched high and low till I was happy with my choice to go with Nick. Thank you all"

"Tom sang at our celebration party, about 100 people aged from 18-75, everybody thought he was excellent, he even did a fabulous Nessun Dorma. If you want a great singer, brilliant entertainer, and above all a thoroughly professional and top guy, Tom is your person."
