"I would like to start by saying thank you to The Scott Standards for a truly unforgettable performance at my 80th birthday celebration. From the moment they started performing they were more than spectacular. The lead singer’s voice was phenomenal and their song choices were spot on. They brought the entire celebration to life and all the guests told us they were the highlight of the party. If you’re looking for an incredible jazz ensemble, I highly recommend The Scott Standards!"

"We would like to thank the James Bond Orchestra for having made our wedding so special. Absolutely everybody commented on how great the bands were and that you were the best bands they had ever heard. Alex and I could not stop smiling from the moment you started to play and I had goose-bumps all over my body. It was just such a great night and thank you again. Alex is waiting to hear about a possible date for his company dinner dance. Rest assured when this date is known we will contact you.

In the mean time we hope to see you in the Jazz Cafe which is our local venue and we believe you already played there in the past. Thank you so much!!!"

"We've booked Tim before as an astonishing solo act but his new duo project takes things to the next level! The chemistry between them adds even more energy and depth to their performance, creating an even more dynamic experience for the crowd. The pair were professional and reliable in every manner and would highly recommend."

"Widely regarded as one of Wales’ foremost traditional bands, since their formation in 1996, Allan Yn Y Fan have taken Welsh traditional music all over the world. Wednesday 28th March, however, saw the band performing closer to home with a gig at one of their favourite venues, Blackwood Miner’s Institute. The evening took the format of two halves with an interval and this six piece band entertained us with a selection of traditional Welsh songs and tunes interspersed with original compositions, mainly from the pen of founder member Kate Strudwick but also with contributions from Chris Jones and Alan Cooper. All the music was taken from across the band’s 22 year career and took us on a journey from the Festival Interceltique at L’Orient to sparsely attended performances in Ireland before returning to Wales across a stormy Irish Sea, stopping to remember Kate’s former landlady and her cat along, the way. The songs were mainly entrusted to Catrin O’Neill who, since joining the band in 2015, has taken on the role of lead vocalist and her vocal style adds a haunting quality to such songs as Dafydd Y Garreg Wen and Lisa Lân, both of which take the passing of a loved one as their subject matter, Catrin’s versatility means she is equally at home singing about hopeful love, as in Ym Mhontypridd Mae’n Nghariad, or the celebratory staples of the Mari Lwyd in Pwnco and Canu Cwnsela or rousing songs of workers' rights, as in Gorthrwm Y Gweithiwr with its dire warning to the Victorian Ironmasters of Beaufort. This evening had all the ingredients needed to make a memorable performance, six talented performers who obviously enjoy performing together and transmitted that joy through their music to an appreciative audience, a quality venue with friendly staff and a crystal clear sound system ensuring that none of the music’s nuances were lost. It was a pleasure to attend this concert and I look forward to seeing Allan Yn Y Fan perform again in the not too distant future. "
