"Just had to email you and let you know what a delight Roger and his colleagues have been today. All were so polite and nothing was an issue or too much trouble and, of course, they were a great band. Thank you for sending them and I will be highly recommending them. "

"Motown Memories and Ione performed at our wedding in June 2022 and they were absolutely fantastic. Ione is a great singer and the band are superb musicians - there were great guitar solos. At the end of the evening and following the wedding, so many of our guests told us that they thought they were a great wedding band, and the dancefloor was full for the whole evening. They responded and reacted to the crowd expertly. The set list was a great selection of genres and decades, enjoyed by 3 generations. Rhona, the band manager, was great to deal with before the wedding - she asked us questions, she shared an example set list, and she arranged for the first dance to be played."

"I wanted to thank you all for your wonderful music on Sunday. It was so full of life and joy and I feel it literally made the party! Having you play in the garden was joyous and it gave everyone such a great feeling of celebration and gave the day a fantastic vibe! (We even got some of them dancing and I loved our birthday circle dance!!!). "

"We were absolutely delighted to have booked the MB's to play at our wedding reception. The standard was exceptional and the band had provided an extensive repertoire from which we were able to highlight our favoured songs. The band also had recordings of some numbers on sound cloud so that we could learn a first dance to the exact arrangement that they were to play on the night. It couldn’t have been easier – in the end we chose to charleston to “I want to be like you” which was fun and went down extremely well. I liaised with Chris mainly via email, but chatted on the phone nearer to the day so that arrangements could be finalised, nothing was too much trouble and the band was a real highlight. The keyboard player was booked earlier to play the piano during the meal and their set up was efficient. The band had travelled from Yorkshire to London to play and they might be making the journey down the A1 more frequently as several guests at the wedding have been asking for their contact details, and all thank you letters have commented on their stunning performance, the dance floor was filled all night."

"I Saw the Gaslight Trio at Driffield navigation Gala,they were fantastic. They entertained a large Audience and really got the crowd going handclapping and singing along. I was amazed to hear the banjo player playing the William Tell overture. I would certainly recommend these guys. Natalie Hunter "

"Lucinda sang during our ceremony and there wasn’t a dry eye in the church! It was the most special and memorable part of our ceremony. All of our guests commented on how beautiful it was! Lucinda is extremely organised, professional and flexible. She sang exactly what we wanted and met all of our requests! She has a simply stunning and unique voice! "

"What can I say these guys are simply GLORIOUS! Definitely not your average wedding band. We booked them after I saw them do Disneys King of the singers at Golden Acre Park (A personal guilty pleasure of mine) and asked them if they do weddings. Which thankfully they do! After starting with some more mellow swing outdoors as a duo, we had the pleasure of the full band in the evening. They played two full sets of upbeat swing as well as quirky covers of popular songs such as Moloko's Bring it back and Britney Spears Toxic, creating an electric atmosphere. What's more they gave it their all and you could tell they enjoyed themselves too. We couldn't have wished for more. Oly is a showman and got everyone dancing up a storm, but the whole band went above and beyond in our opinion to entertain and delight, they even co-ordinated the first dance and did our Dj set. They were very accommodating and flexible, and gave us all the reassurance we needed as our date came closer. This is important especially if like us you are arranging every detail by yourself (and therefore have no grounds for comparison). To have confidence in your suppliers is priceless. Big thank you to the The Dixie Rhythm Busters. You ROCKED our wedding!!!"

"Swing Gitan provided the musical entertainment for a ‘significant ‘ birthday party of mine . I knew they were good , but honestly they were phenomenal and I will certainly be booking them again for my next big celebration . I would recommend them to anyone wanting fabulous lively musical entertainment . Great to listen to but even better to dance to"

"Jess I just want to say a very very big Thank You for making it such a wonderful experience today for Les. I was very sad to miss it but I gather he had a great time and you and the band were wonderful. Thank you so much for giving him so much pleasure at a time when his world just keeps getting smaller. Regards Liz"
