"Anna and her band played at my (adult) barmitzvah celebration and were amazing. From my first enquiry, what came through the most was Anna's bubbly character and enthusiasm; she even went away and learned a few new songs so that it could be an extra special day. From the mellow tunes through dinner through to the livelier ones one on the dancefloor, Anna caught the mood of the evening beautifully. I make an excellent choice."

"Hi Luke, Thanks so much to you , Mark and Leo for the wonderful jazz last night . I could have just sat and listened to it for hours ! Rather a shame that the crowd got a bit stuck near the entrance rather than coming closer to you , and that quite a lot of guests arrived a bit late . But none the less your beautiful tunes were clear and made wonderful background music to conversation . And many guests paid you compliments .... A very professional talented trio, who I will certainly recommend to others searching for this type of thing. "

"I trawled through numerous sites to find the right sort of band to celebrate my special 80th birthday lunch at Sulgrave Manor - the ancestral home of America’s first president George Washington. I found the answer in [name of band]. They provided such a high standard of entertainment and went to great lengths to provide the sounds I wanted"

"Since the initial booking Jess was very responsive in answering all our questions and creating a special jazz version of our first dance for our wedding. The band were on time and very courteous especially seeing we were 30 mins overrunning on the speeches. We would not hesitate to recommend Jess and her band to anyone else for any occasion."

"Hi Jess, I just wanted to say a massive thank you for being a part of our wedding on Saturday. Everyone I have spoken with has commented on how amazing you were. You added that extra touch to our day and we were so happy that you were involved. If anyone out there wanted an amazing singer to entertain for whatever event they would be so lucky to have you involved. Thank you so much. "

"'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!' "
