Review Centre: Jazz Bands

"We came across Swing Gitan at the Nottingham Contemporary and were both taken by their energetic and uplifting sound delivered in a skilled and playful fashion. Since then we have had the pleasure of seeing quite a few of their gigs and never been disappointed and so when we were considering who to book for our wedding last august the choice was easy. We wanted music for music lovers that people could also dance to and were no disappointed. The whole process of booking the band and arranging the specifics as well as asking them to learn the Waltz that we intended to dance to was just really straight forward and pleasurable which was certainly helped by Elliott’s easygoing ways and quiet confidence that this would turn out the way we had hoped. We feel very lucky and blessed to have had the good fortune together such good people for our wedding occasion and the presence of Swing Gitan was a large part of that. Indeed, it was a testament to the success of the band that people of all backgrounds and ages loved their performances and demonstrated this through dancing, shouting and cheering throughout the night. Needless to say, we would highly recommend this band to anyone seeking a great sounding and quirky gypsy jazz band! "

GG has a really versatile voice and performed some classic numbers to which she brought her own magic and warmth. GG captured the atmosphere perfectly and the music was fantastic. Thank you GG for a superb performance and for helping to make our celebration really special. Julie & Richard."

"We hired Count Down To Swing for our summer wedding, and couldn't have been happier with them. They are super efficient and easy to communicate with, making the whole process of booking them really straightforward and stress-free. The band itself is just brilliant: all our guests said so and the dance floor was full throughout their set. They really made the event. Down for the Count are so friendly, accommodating, talented and professional that we would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone! "

"Soul Shimmer have played in my restaurant many times and every time they left our clients in awe. They can play literally anything and still sound perfect. It's incredibly easy working with them as they are reliable, punctual and all around professional musicians!"
