Review Centre: Acoustic Bands

"Swinging like a barn door in a Texas breeze, the album shows the tightness of a band that have spent many years on the road. An established favourite on the jazz and nostalgia circuit, this well respected and popular five piece have evolved a contemporary style from a mash up of genres from the early 20th century...Cool jazz guitar, bass driven swing, excellent dobro, evocative harmonica and smokey vocal tones, velvet dipped in bourbon. Material is varied and well chosen, a souvenir from stage from one of the best live jazz-lite bands on the circuit."

"Our P.T.A. made a fortune when Gary stood in for us at the last minute due to a late cancellation. Every cloud has a silver or, in Gary's case, golden lining. Is there anything he cannot play for an audience to listen to, sing along with or party to? Make sure you don't want him when we do next!"

"I booked Good Habits for my 40th boat birthday party after hearing them play at the Green Note in Camden. I always loved the cello and accordion, but what I like best of them is their songs and energy. They really set the tone for what was an amazing day and all my guests thought Good Habits were brilliant. Some of my friends have even been booking them for their events. I cannot recommend them enough!"

"I was truly amazed by the music played by The London Jazz Project's Duo. They provided the perfect background music as we were also able to chat to customers and guests without having to tell them to turn down the volume. Their music is perfect for these type of events and I truly recommend them."

"I wanted to thank you and the band again for being absolutely brilliant at our wedding! We've had so many wonderful comments from family and friends. We absolutely loved our wedding and working with you helped make it the fun, joyous celebration we wanted (and waited 2 years for!) "

"Talisha was so professional, calm and responsive in the lead up to our wedding. They offered a wide range of song options and we were even more delighted that they played our special song request. We had the acoustic duo during the day (excellent vocals!). We received huge compliments from so many of our guests. Thank you!"

"I absolutely loved this pair. I recently planned a wedding in Duns, Scotland and Sally & Graham drove over an hour to play about 3 hours at my event. Everything went completely perfectly, from our communication beforehand, the song list, them adding songs I requested, the location and sound quality for their sets, and setup/tear down. I wanted a relaxed, acoustic sound with talented musicians definitely not a DJ party wedding band, so this duo was perfect for that. This website and this band are excellent value for the range and, again, quality of the music, 100% worth the price and more. Before the event, I gave them some some requests including Africa by Toto, which they REWROTE and learned in their own style (HUGE HIT and really surprised my husband). Also we coordinated a place for them to setup, the times of the sets, and what meals they wanted to have, and everything went off without a hitch. They were also so very sweet and wonderful people that they really impressed all my guests who were complimentary and wondering where I found such an amazing band. One of the best things about the Scotswood Acoustic Duo is how their song list covers a huge variety of music that they somehow play all equally wonderfully. So everyone's music tastes were satisfied and it made for very interesting listening, this was one of the compliments I heard alot. There are just so many nice things to say, please book this band and get them doing music full time because they are AMAZING!"

"Paul and Two Blue Jazz played during the drinks reception at our wedding. They created the perfect atmosphere with their playing, and in particular we really appreciated the various instruments they were able to play! It was the perfect fit for a "grown up" black tie wedding and we've received plenty of compliments from our guests. They were incredibly easy to work with and I'd recommend them for any event - I'd certainly contact them again should an occasion arise. Thanks Paul!"

"Dynamite Swing… One of the most incredibly talented bands we've ever seen perform live. Every song draws in the listener with their energetic and animated performances. Gypsy Dynamite will blow your mind!"

"Myself and all my guests thoroughly enjoyed the steel pan music. Thomas was very professional from the point of making initial contact right through to the event. He was punctual and the music heaven. I'd definitely recommend and I'll use them again!!"

"Just wanted to drop you a quick note to say a huge thank you for playing the music at our wedding - you guys were absolutely amazing and helped make it such a special day for us. So many of our guests commented on how brilliant you were. Personally I will never forgot the way you played 'Ho Hey' by the Lumineers as I waited for Sarah to come down the aisle - it brought tears to my eyes and is a moment I will never forget - so thank you! A proper thank you will follow but just wanted to email now to say how much we appreciated what you did - you guys are incredible! We will be keeping an eye out for when you are playing at festivals/gigs and will definitely be coming along. Also - Sarah says sorry she didn't get a chance to catch up with you and say thanks in person on the day. Cheers Nick and Sarah"

"I've seen the Mardy Johnny Depps loads of times in Ibiza over the past few years. They are an amazing band, they can sing anything and have a great rapport with their audience. They are a very talented duo. Would recommend you see thrm if you can. "
