"What a voice! Penny performed in our restaurant during an evening of tapas and wine. The mood was perfect and the tone was beautiful. Penny’s performance was outstanding playing lots of classic jazz. I would definitely recommend and we will be booking again soon Gio, Restaurant Owner"

"I booked Gavin for my 65th plus retirement plus wedding anniversary party and he was brilliant, what a talent. He did 3 x 40 minute sessions, starting as just background music as requested and had people dancing in the aisles by his third session. Can highly recommend Gavin and wouldn't hesitate to book him again myself. Thanks for a first class performance Gavin, the party wouldn't have been the same without you. "

"Nigel played at our wedding on the 9th December 2023 and I can honestly say when I look back out our day the music was one of the biggest highlights for me. From our very first contact right up until the big day Nigel’s communication was amazing, always prompt to reply and nothing was too much bother. Six weeks before our wedding we actually changed our wedding venue and I called Nigel in such a panic as I was stressed but he was so great at calming me down and reassuring me that everything would be okay, and he was right, it was just perfect. Everybody that came to the wedding complimented the music and I myself started crying the moment my song started playing as I was about to walk down the aisle, it sounded perfect. There was a specific part of the song that I wanted to enter to and Nigel managed to time it perfectly without compromising on the quality of the playing. In addition, I was sad that I didn’t get to hear any of the music played before my arrival but I didn’t need to fear, Nigel was kind enough to send me a beautifully put together set list of the music that was performed, this is something that I will treasure. Nigel also recorded many of the songs on his GoPro and promptly sent these recordings to me. To watch my guests arriving, seeing my husband nervous before I arrive and watching myself walk down the aisle was truly magical and I will look back on this videos for years to come. So to summarise, I would highly recommend booking Nigel for your wedding, you will not regret it. "

"We had the pleasure of having Ben play at my wife’s 50th garden party. From our first interaction to meeting in person, Ben was wonderfully responsive and flexible. His sets were fantastic on the day, playing all the songs we asked and even an impromptu accompaniment for my daughter and son who did a little song. I had so many people asking for his details after the party which is a sign of a job very well done! Thank you Ben, you really helped make the afternoon one to remember!"

"Thank you so much! I can not recommend Will enough, all songs were perfect and a range of upbeat and mellow. Will sang while everyone arrived and then while we were eating, we loved it so much we got off our feet and were all singing and dancing! Worth every penny!! "

"Jeanne Wilde aka Maxeen George aka Aurore Smets is a singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist based in London. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Amy Winehouse, Nina Simone, Radiohead, B.B. King, David Bowie, Pink Floyd and many more, Jeanne studied jazz in Paris and has performed in numerous underground bands. Recognised not only for her stormy, magnetic stage presence, Jeanne’s voice is instantly identifiable by its rich texture and emotional depth. Her original bluesy, jazzy, and contemporary compositions reflect decades of encounters with people met around the world. From busking in Berlin, London, and Paris, to playing in legendary pubs such as the Anchor and the Neptune, to appearing at renowned festivals and iconic venues including Le Chat Noir, The New Morning, and The Batofar; she is known for her remarkable ability to improvise effortlessly and at length across any genre, she attributes this skill to her synaesthesia—experiencing music visually, as if watching a film. For her, composing is a form of cinematic storytelling."
