Review Centre: Gypsy Swing Bands

"Swinging in Mumbai were relaxed, gracious, fun, and above all, sounded great. We have had so many friends and family come up to us (still - nearly six months later!) and say how great the music was!"

"THANK YOU SO MUCH for playing at our wedding, you guys were the best! I think every single one of our guests came up to us at some point afterwards and said how amazing you were and how much fun they had dancing, you really made the evening incredible!"

"Here at Heart events we love The Misophone Collective. They played in our cafe on Tuesday night 30 April and they were amazing, we would welcome them back anytime. They started off with some Django Reinhart style numbers, playing in particular to the strengths of the 2 violins. In the second set they moved into a European gypsy theme getting more and more hectic and lively. The audience loved them and were up clapping and dancing- almost dancing on the tables! "

"Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio – Vincent McLaughlin’s Birthday Ceilidh – November 2025 We had a lovely evening which was made possible by the brilliance of the Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio. Everyone thought their musicianship was excellent and the caller was very good at helping get people dancing. From young to old everyone had a great evening."

"Black Velvet Band provided a five piece ceilidh band and caller for the finale of the Hawkins’ team building event. We thought the room would be too big – but we were wrong! The band brought an absolute gem of a caller, who read the crowd perfectly and the dance floor was full throughout the evening. We could have done with a larger space! The band was superb and the event was enjoyed by all concerned. I thoroughly recommend the band."

"Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio / Georgia's Wedding Ceilidh / October 2024 It was so much fun to have the trio along and they were so clear with their instructions that even the French at our wedding could follow along. Mike’s communication was superb and at one point extremely helpful by replying quickly with a key document, as we dealt with a problem with our venue. Thank you all."

"The band played for my daughter's 30th which was all organised by her, including the hiring of the band. We had no idea what to expect and were hugely delighted by their ability to quickly gauge the style of the party and were more than accommodating in their repertoire, even playing for members of the party to sing with them. First class professional playing, and played with evident enjoyment in a relaxed upbeat style. A most wonderful evening, thanks largely to this band."

"We are so grateful to Black Velvet Ceilidh Trio for making our fundraising ceilidh a great success with delightful music and dancing. The level of challenge of the dances was pitched just right to tempt our guests (who were aged from 4 to 84) to have a go – and they all came away with big smiles on their faces! Phil – the band’s friendly caller – gave just the right amount of instruction and then a quick recap before each dance and was happy to adapt dances to suit some of the children. Arrangements and payment were all handled professionally and efficiently. Thank you so much for helping us raise over £300 for our cause!"

"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."
