"Every time I watch these guys perform they light up the room and get everyone on their feet dancing! No matter where they're performing and no matter who the audience, everyone comes away with a smile on their face. "

"We've booked the swing zippers for two high profile events in the last year: Their first appearance took place at our annual goose fair dinner and awards ceremony where they performed a 30 minute set in the break coffee break. It was supposed to be an opportunity for our guests to mingle but everybody stayed in their seats as these two fabulous musicians blew them away with some pulsating gypsy jazz. The second and most recent appearance was part of our 30th anniversary celebrations with German city Karlshruhe. The duo played for 1 hour whilst our guests interacted during the dinner break. Their sound, style, talent and superb range of acoustic instrumentals was simply perfect for the occasion! "

"Well… what can we say?! We honestly cannot thank you enough for your performances on our wedding day. The day time acoustic set was just perfect and more than we ever imagined. It really did make our day, especially the singing and dancing in the sunshine! We will be recommending you to all of our friends and family. You are simply the best! ✨"

"Dear Anne, Thanks, once again all your hard work in putting together a wonderful orchestra for me and helping to make Saturday Evening such a success. We had great feedback from the audience. It was a pleasure to work with you once again after such a long shutdown. I think everyone was thrilled to be back in action. There was some really expressive playing - quite an achievement with so little time to rehearse - a testament to professionalism. Loved conducting you all. Please pass on my thanks and appreciation to the players. They are a really nice group of people to work with! All the best until next time. Martin "

"From the moment we saw the Gospel Choir at the open day at our wedding venue, The Oakwood at Ryther, we got goosebumps; we knew we had to book them for our wedding straight away! And they truly did not disappoint! All of our guests, even the photographer and the registrar, commented on how amazing the choir were. The booking process was easy and any questions we had, there was no hesitation in answering. Can honestly say these guys made our day! Thank you!"

"We booked the Leathernecks for our wedding as we love rock and indie music and they were amazing! Please, please book them if you are at all considering this sort of music for your event. All the songs were perfectly done (in some cases better than the original!), and the band themselves are professional, friendly and great guys. Our guests loved them and we had so many people on the night and since who've said how amazing they are. They have a great array of music and we could tell them beforehand any songs we particularly wanted them to play. Great band, awesome music, lovely guys, they made our reception rock!"

"An absolute delight to deal with from beginning to end! For a couple who lacked a strong musical vocabulary, Sonia turned what could have been an arduous experience into a seamless one. After every phone call or meeting the first words out of our mouths were ‘I love Sonia.’ Sonia and her band played evocatively in our Cornish National Trust barn setting, got our guests on their feet and provided an elegant, sophisticated and mesmerising backdrop to our wedding. The icing on the cake: Sonia’s voice is spellbinding."

""Verve Jazz and its highly talented members have appeared many times at the Verdict, and have always given us wonderful, upbeat music and a tremendously enjoyable show. I’d heartily recommend them for any jazz-related event!” "

"We really enjoyed Jo’s performance – it was amazing. Everybody enjoyed it immensely. Time passed very quickly and Jo contributed hugely to a successful party! The power of her music talks loudly! We can recommend Jo whole-heartily and would love to see her back when we have a similar occasion ourselves at some point in the future"

"Hi Anne, Apologies for the delay. Thank you so much for playing for us on our wedding day. All of the guests have been saying how amazing it was and the choice of songs you played was perfect. We are just sad that due to the fact we had to have our photos taken we missed half the set Never the less we had an amazing day and thank you again for playing for us and we will recommend you to everyone. Best Regards, Thomas and Natalie "
