"Dynamite Swing… One of the most incredibly talented bands we've ever seen perform live. Every song draws in the listener with their energetic and animated performances. Gypsy Dynamite will blow your mind!"

"Well, where can I start! From initially stumbling upon Dr Jazz and realising that there was something rather special about their approach and unique sound, to the very first email and phone calls to discuss our plans for the day, all the way through to our Wedding day itself - Dr Jazz and company were brilliant. Helpful, friendly, and wonderfully entertaining, we could not have asked for anything more. The set itself was fantastic - we were blown away with how much of an impact they made, not only in terms of everyone feeling the urge to get up to dance (which was a slight worry for us before the day!), but also with their spot on interaction with the guests, and overall management and ownership of the evening. We really knew we'd made the right decision as soon as the first note was played – talk about creating a spectacle!! In terms of a front man Matthew is absolutely superb, and his supporting crew of brilliantly talented musicians helped make our day one to remember for both us and our guests. Thank you all so very much for everything. We know what it's like trying to find the 'right band', ourselves having trawled through many hundreds of sample tracks from other people and groups, and the worries that come with it regarding whether people will like it, whether it'll be well received etc. The best advice I can honestly give is that if you are sitting there reading this review, and you have enjoyed the sample tracks you've listened to, then please don't hesitate to book these guys. You will not regret it, and you and your guests will certainly never forget it. They were nothing short of marvellous. Once again we wanted to say thank you very much for everything - we really had a fantastic time, as did everyone else in attendance, and it is all thanks to you and your crew. You certainly made the evening, if not the day for us, and we are so pleased and lucky to have been able to book you to play for us. You were nothing short of brilliant, and we can't stop talking or thinking about how amazing you were (and nor can anyone else!) It was so lovely to meet you all in person. All the best for the future, and please rest assured that we'll be singing your praises for the years to come!"

"Caravan Swing has entranced our tea shop twice now. Each time with only a modicum of advertising the place was packed to the rafters. Pure magic, they can take you on a journey back in time to foreign lands and bring you home again all in the space of a few minutes, they can play infectiously dancing music, and lull you into a trance with soulful ballads. The audience has been rapturous each time. Can't wait to get them back."

"Dinner Jazz Duo played at my wedding in the Lake District last week. I just want you to pass on my thanks to them both for playing for us and doing such a great job. They were punctual, polite, easy going and very very good. I'd recommend Dinner Jazz Duo to anyone. "

"Rory's Trio put on after show performances for Manchester Camerata at the Bridgewater Hall and at the Royal Northern College of Music respectively. I am pleased to say that both performances went successfully; Rory Duffy brought a tasteful cosmopolitan selection of Brazilian tunes and acoustic Latin, blending well-known arrangements with original compositions, which created a buzzing vibe and went down very well with our audiences, keeping them at the bar all evening! Great fun and would definitely book them for future events."

"So pleased with this fab duo! They were absolutely perfect for our summer party event, not only can they sing and play but they are friendly and accommodating and their sets are so perfect for the environment. Really would recommend to any function that needs an extra bit of magic. Thank you so much for making our afternoon so memorable. "

"Mapleton Sessions booked for our NYE event, the second performance for us in several months. Very cool act, super professional, great sound. They mostly played Jazz but stripped back. A very intimate performance which is perfect for our venue. We can highly recommend this act and are booking them again this spring."

"Pink Champagne went down very well at an event held at lunchtime at our yacht club. Their music was excellent and they were very flexible with their timing as our plans changed at the last minute. We will definitely use them again."

"You want good vibes, swingy jazz and a trumpet sound smooth as honey? This is your band. I watched them by chance at Ruby's, a cocktail place in Dalston and for not expecting anything this was really a revelation. I couldn't keep my feet still... They play with so much joy that it carries you straight away."

"We had a Jazz trio for our wedding reception in a stretch tent and the music perfectly complemented the relaxed vibe and rural setting. Professional throughout, from booking to the end of the event. I would happily recommend."
