"Wow Wow Wow. I cannot put into words how amazing our evening was at Tortworth. You gals were absolutely fantastic. A million times better than we could ever have imagined. EVERYONE loved you - even my 82 year old father used the word fantastic (this word has never come out of his mouth before!)... And everyone on the dance floor all evening was just excellent - all age groups. Your act is just great. The outfits, the band, the lighting, and your act - absolute perfection. And you are just lovely people to boot! What an amazing time. Our only regret? That no one videoed you! We want to replay and replay and replay..... Consider yourselves booked for our next UK bash."

"Ruby sang at our VE Day event at Streetly Community Library and she was simply fantastic. She was engaging, entertaining and professional, appealing to all age groups. The mix of music provided was just right – we couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you Ruby, we’d love to have you back. "

"I had never heard Viviana singing and....it was a very pleasant surprise. She is so charming and strong, sweet and full of energy, a very velvet voice with a true passion for music and singing. After a very busy day Viviana and all the other musicians made me spend such an enjoyable evening, THANK YOU and....see you very soon"

"The Songbirds were the perfect act for our jubilee party. Punctual, professional, sounded great and really looked the part. Sang a variety of songs to appeal to, and please everyone. Would highly recommend The Songbirds for any function. "

"What can I say these guys are simply GLORIOUS! Definitely not your average wedding band. We booked them after I saw them do Disneys King of the singers at Golden Acre Park (A personal guilty pleasure of mine) and asked them if they do weddings. Which thankfully they do! After starting with some more mellow swing outdoors as a duo, we had the pleasure of the full band in the evening. They played two full sets of upbeat swing as well as quirky covers of popular songs such as Moloko's Bring it back and Britney Spears Toxic, creating an electric atmosphere. What's more they gave it their all and you could tell they enjoyed themselves too. We couldn't have wished for more. Oly is a showman and got everyone dancing up a storm, but the whole band went above and beyond in our opinion to entertain and delight, they even co-ordinated the first dance and did our Dj set. They were very accommodating and flexible, and gave us all the reassurance we needed as our date came closer. This is important especially if like us you are arranging every detail by yourself (and therefore have no grounds for comparison). To have confidence in your suppliers is priceless. Big thank you to the The Dixie Rhythm Busters. You ROCKED our wedding!!!"

"The Gatsby Show were fantastic!!! The guests loved them and they worked perfectly for the event theme! The Charleston lesson went down a storm and I couldn’t have gone any better."

"Speaking to Kerry before we booked him on our big day, we were really specific…. Probably the most specific with any supplier as we wanted to have a certain sound and feel for our Wedding. Not only was Kerry more than happy to accommodate our stylistic preferences, he was even able to give some brilliant suggestions, and at short notice, when we compiled a small playlist of the songs to be played during the guests arrival, during the Wedding reception ceremony and post ceremony celebrations; Kerry and the team were able to take upon these song requests, learn these, actually take on board the tempo and the tune, the acoustics, and to play from different youtube videos and make it into their own Guests were really able to take some fantastic pictures and stories on their Instagram, things they really wanted to share and impress upon their friends and online followers shows how much how much of a great day and experience they had and Kerry Williams and the Constellation Jazz team were really able to set the scene. Constellation Jazz were the first ones there to take the guests through the journey before we got married and also keep them entertained straight after we got married whilst we were taking our photos as people were catching up, and keeping them entertained up until the moment they entered for the Wedding reception breakfast.. So big round of applause from us, congratulations once again and thank you so much and we would be able to recommend you to anyone for those that want a Saxophonist or a band to play at a Wedding or any other function so Kerry and the Constellation Jazz team thank you!

"I booked Noteworthy as a jazz duo for my mums surprise 80th birthday party, I was looking for just some gentle background music for friends & family to listen to as they enjoyed their high tea & that is exactly what I got, it added to a great atmosphere and made the party. Very professional, sounded excellent, with lots of great feedback from the guests. Highly recommend, would not hesitate to hire these guys again. Thank you, you made the afternoon perfect."

"The music was marvellous, just my kind of evocative tunes (memories of dancing round the kitchen with Grandpa). Which I think summarises how lovely everyone found the music! Thank you very much for coming. You did a brilliant job."
