Review Centre: Jazz Bands

"We booked Motown Memories to perform at our wedding reception and they were absolutely brilliant! We made our booking during the first lockdown so we weren't able to see them perform in person before booking but our decision was made easy by the live performance videos they have on the website! They absolutely nailed our first dance song 'Marry you - Bruno Mars' and were great at getting the crowd going - the dance floor was never empty! They have a brilliant repertoire that suits all age groups and I would highly recommend to anyone looking to book a band. Thanks Motown Memories!!"

"The singer, Amy, confided to the audience at one point that it was her prerogative to steer the set at her whim, keeping the rest of the band on their toes. And so they moved from bossanova to a favourite ballad and back again via bluesy tunes and toe tapping swing. This she did with seemingly effortless style, and her colleagues were more than up to the challenge. Her voice is beautiful, expressive, powerful. She can deliver heartbreak in like three notes. This quartet of talented professionals works great together. I think the whole audience left with massive grins on their faces."

"We hired Carlo for our destination wedding in Italy and he was phenomenal. From the ceremony to the evening sax and DJ party, everything was seamless. If you need a destination wedding saxophonist in Europe, Carlo is professional, easy to work with and brings incredible energy. The live saxophone over the DJ set made the night unforgettable."

"Trip for Biscuits played at our wedding and I could not recommend them enough. We were looking for a particular style which was hard to find in Bristol but I am so glad we did not give up on our search and came across this band! Lots of guests have commented on how great the band were too and the dance floor was evidence they really added to the day. Thank you!"

"Our music evening at Novotel Manchester Centre was elevated by the Rory Duffy Trio. Their talent and skill made for an entirely lovely evening for all of our guests, many of whom commented on how much they enjoyed the performance. I would highly recommend this group again as they were not only talented and played wonderful music but also displayed a high level of professionalism throughout the evening.” - Novotel, Manchester, June 2011"

"Moon River were amazing for my baby’s birthday yesterday and it was something so different. They played jazz, theatre and pop music of my choosing from their repertoire and then lots of nursery rhymes. All ages were catered for; their communication was great and they turned up early to set up. Highly recommend."

"Jonny and his band played for us at our wedding in November 2018. From the first point of contacting him and booking he was very professional and friendly. When you're organizing a wedding you really appreciate bookings that are no-fuss and Jonny was definitely that. So many of our guests on the day gave compliments about the bands playing. They started playing when we left the ceremony room and it sounded fantastic. They played a mixture of genres but mostly French cafe style, mixed in with some old classics; it added to a great atmosphere. We would definitely recommend The Jonny Kerry Quartet! "

"GG is an outstanding performer, energetic, passionate and soulful with a wonderful voice, our guests really enjoyed her smooth blend of Motown and rnb classics and we can't wait to have her back again! Very punctual, reliable , offered a set list to us but we gave a rough brief of the vibe we wanted and left it to GG who totally wowed with her selection of songs and couldn't do enough to make sure we were happy - Thanks Gloria - a true artist.
