"We saw the Tom Harvey Trio at the Penny Royal for an intimate jazz night. Some of the best live jazz music I've seen in Cardiff! Can't wait to see them perform again"

"We booked Caravan Swing for our charity event in at Gallery House -they were fabulous! The musicians were great and the band entered the spirit of the evening, despite playing outside on a slightly chilly Aberdeenshire evening. Thank you - we hope you will come back!!"

"Kolarides Jazz Duo were absolutely perfect for our event. They arrived in plenty of time and were efficient and polite. Despite the heat, they played for a full three hours with a very short break and the music was absolutely spot on. Many of our guests asked about them and I would highly recommend Martin and Henry to anyone for a similar event. Thank you for making our Golden Wedding celebration a memorable occasion."

"Friday’s sets were absolutely super and the ambience you created was delightful. Angela feels you were the perfect choice for her special evening. Everyone was very complimentary about your your playing and we would certainly be happy to recommend you to others. It was appreciated that making the arrangements and the set up on the day were completely painless. "

"The Tzigauners where a fantastic band - because of my disorganisation we booked them last minute and they couldn't have been more accommodating. Everyone commented how much they enjoyed the music and that it really added to the atmosphere on the night. "

"Black Velvet Band Hoedown Trio / 7oaks TriClub Hoedown Barn Dance / November 2024 The Black Velvet Hoedown Trio were superb on Saturday 16th November for our annual 7Oaks TriClub dinner dance. We had 50 members turn up at the Chipstead Sailing Club Clubhouse, and I can tell you that as soon as Mike and his band started playing the first set, everyone got up to dance! There were high levels of energy in the room and the Hoedown Trio rose to the occasion spectacularly, matching our enthusiasm and giving us little anecdotes on the history of the dance with instructions as we cooled down and grabbed a different partner. The band were duly fed and watered with a delicious Greek buffet, and by special request they played a Greek dance to thank the chefs. I think Black Velvet were stunned with the energy levels and full dance floor - and there was no slacking from music or dancing. By the end of the second set we were all perspiring in a good way!!!! There have been calls from many members to make this an annual event, so rest assured we will re-book the chaps for a rematch! A fantastic evening had by all. Many thanks to Mike and the band. "

"We didn't get to enjoy The Tom Belbin Trio as much as we would have liked to as we were away being photographed but all of our guests unprompted told us how fantastic the music was! We managed to catch some of the end of the band who played for us during our wedding breakfast welcome drinks outside and they played beautifully, creating a lovely relaxed and fun atmosphere for our guests. They sounded great. We really appreciated you playing for us - like I say above numerous people told us you were great. Many thanks Moon-Moon"

"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!!!). "

"Jonny is great: he plays mean jazz accordion and is a delight to have around. Really made our afternoon in the garden for our guests and made a great atmosphere. It was Autumn Leaves that hooked me in."
