"We booked Evelyn and the band for our wedding and we are so glad we did, they are a unique and highly entertaining band. Their contemporary mix of jazz, swing and modern pop rock is wonderful to listen to and it really got our guests up and dancing. Alba has a beautiful voice and the whole band is made up of highly professional and talented musicians. The addition of the saxophone was well worth it and added a further dimension to the already great sound and feel of the music. The band offered to learn a first dance song for us and their cover of Home was fantastic! All in all Evelyn and band made what was already an incredible weekend even better, we would wholeheartedly recommend them for any occasion and wish them all the success for the future."

"We just wanted to drop you a quick email to say thank you so much for playing at our celebration last week - we thought you and the band were fantastic and loved dancing to your dulcet tones. Thank you for making our wedding celebration that extra bit special (it also made Sophie and James' entire evening and they've talked of nothing else since!)"

"Thank you so much to the band for just putting the icing on the cake at our wedding! The music was even better than what we had hoped for. All our guests loved your playing, from our little ones all the way up to our grandparents. Everyone said how much fun they had, and you made the atmosphere what it was. Thank you sooo much, we would love to hear you play again. Warmest regards and thanks again, Anneli and Matt Barton"

"We booked The Jazz Revival for our NYE party at Altitude and they were a welcome addition to the night. Their vocals were great and they looked stunning. Highly recommended should you want a class act for your corporate or social event."

"Friday night was awesome. The band were brilliant, and everybody really enjoyed the music and thought they were excellent. They started off the ball with a very classy bang! Thank you for recommending them, and for your help in liaising with the band and answering my many queries!"

"Couldn't recommend these guys enough! We booked Dave and his band for my mums 70th and they were fantastic ! Everyone loved them and they read the room really well (nice background music when people arrived then stuff for people to dance to). They brought all their own gear and only needed a plug socket, so setup was really smooth. And communication in the lead up was great - Dave was so friendly and helpful. Seeing my mum and dad dancing along to the music and having a great time was a real highlight - huge thanks to Dave and the band for an amazing night. Note, we had Dave on guitar and vocals, and someone on keys and bass - all top quality musicians."

"Hi Eugene From start to finish the band was absolutely amazing so professional and well presented! They made light of what was a sad day and made my uncles funeral one to remember! Mick became the talk of Middleton and so many people after the funeral commented on the band! We were so impressed and would recommend your services to anyone and everyone! We are forever grateful for the band attending his funeral and giving him the send off he deserved! Thank you so much his funeral will never be forgotten! I hope that’s okay if you need anything else just let us know Thanks Wayne "

"I new nothing of this band, only that I'd left it very late to book so had no other choices! All my dealings with Alan were clear, helpful and very obliging. Nothing was too much trouble, from the type of music, number of musicians, outfits, length of playing time/breaks. They arrived in the Cotswolds from Yorkshire early, set up effortlessly, liased with the disco jockey and started playing just before the guests arrived. WOW!! Without exception, everyone danced. They set the whole party alight. How lucky were we to stumble across them. Use them, listen to them! They're fantastic!!!"

"I booked the Love for Sale for a private event with around 90 guests. The booking was smooth. The day before the gig John visited the venue to see the space and figure out how to best set up the equipment. On the day the band arrived on time, they set up quickly and efficiently. As there was a 50's theme to the event , the musicians were really happy to make that extra effort and dressed up to match the era. That was brilliant. They also tailored the list of jazzy pieces they played on the night. The music was just right, created the perfect ambience for the guests. Everyone in the band were very friendly and had a lovely aura about them. Their positive approach made the collaboration a pure pleasure. Overall I am very satisfied with the Sale for Love and would highly recommend them! "

"When Konstantinos and I had the idea to have a live band at our wedding cocktail party, I couldn’t even imagine that I would meet a gifted girl like Iris! Iris is a talented girl with an ethereal singing voice. I will never forget the moment that she sang directly to me and Konstantinos and the tears started to flow. Our guests still comment on what a wonderful time they had. I am thankful to have her in one of the most important days of my life!"
