"I am trying to find words to enlarge on what I already said to you each today. I used sentences like ‘ more than professional’. ‘ greater than superb’ ‘ totally amazing’. Yes, you each are astonishing!!!! Somebody should invent a word that means extremely higher than professional, for you each need to be placed in that category."

"James and his band were absolutely amazing and exceeded our expectations. The band was very polite and understanding when our timings were not spot on. They played really well and provided the perfect ambience as well as entertainment for our guests."

"Lauren sings with poise, swing, impeccable time and recognises humour and irony in a lyric... She is the natural successor to Blossom Dearie, Anita O'Day, Etta Jones, Ella and Carmen... and is the best export from Canada since Diana Krall, Joni Mitchell and pure mountain air."

"Just wanted to say how happy I was with MIB’s performance at Newham Under the Stars! The weather wasn’t exactly on our side and this showed in slightly lower audience figures than I would have liked, but those determined concert go-ers who came out despite the showers, chilly winds and muddy part thoroughly enjoyed themselves. I’m sure you could tell from the audience response just how much your performance was appreciated and I hope you enjoyed performing as much as the audience enjoyed watching you. Great music, great vocals and great energy! Considering that this is a free community event, the production was impressively slick and professional and this was in no small part due to MIB’s appearance. Watching video clips back you could quite easily be watching a televised event on the Beeb and I am so proud of it and so pleased that MIB was part of it."

"Hi, Thoroughly enjoyed the concert tonight. It was the best evening we have had for many years. You all took my wife and me down memory lane and made us feel like teenagers again. I wanted to jive but the wife felt embarrassed. Thank you for all the hard work you put in. "

"We hired The Velvet Tones for our Wedding. They were great from start to finish! We had solo piano at the start of our ceremony, then the singer sang “At Last” as I walked down the aisle and it was stunning!! The Quartet played jazz during our drinks reception which created a great atmosphere without being over-powering. Finally, they gave us a run for our money with an amazing set of Motown to kick off the dancing. We had our own DJ to take over but everyone was already in such a good mood from the band. I really recommend this band as they are so versatile and easy to work with."

"Jazz Eclipse are incredibly talented! Please add our voices to all those recommending them — they were exactly what we had imagined for our wedding day. We’d love to relive the whole performance again! "

"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."

"The band knew how to read the room and pick the perfect songs to create the ambience we wanted. They were not too loud, but still had the energy to give our event the wow factor!"

"Sara played with her gypsy jazz quintet at our award ceremony & the band was perfect! From playing background during the reception creating a wonderful atmosphere, to supplying the music between awards, choosing the perfect repertoire & level of interaction. Very professional & lovely to work with. "
