"We were so delighted with the lively and yet calming music you played for my birthday. Thank you for being so accommodating including via my daughter - my favourite music ending with Bye Bye Blackbird. You set the scene for a wonderful happy 70th birthday party. Your skills were far beyond the online selection in variety, sound and skill. Yours in harmony and gratitude, Betsy."

"I wish to thank you for your recommendation of Rory Duffy to perform with Holly (percussion & vocals) & Julian (guitar) in a Latin jazz trio for my wife's special birthday a couple of weekends ago. They were brilliant. A great musical backdrop to a very successful garden party and a real hit with all our guests. We will recommend them without hesitation. Thank you again. Clive, Garden Party Manchester, August 2011"

"AMAZING - made our wedding day Sarah, Martin and Matt performed at our wedding last year. They sung whilst I walked down the aisle, performed during the drinks reception and then gave some backing music during our wedding breakfast. Our guests absolutely loved it. They even went around to the tables during the food and sang to each table. It made it very special. The band were super easy to work with, very responsive and learned a song for us which was so lovely. Great value for money too. Would absolutely recommend!!!!"

"Brilliant duo — they have such a wide variety of jazz and pop songs up their sleeves! They worked perfectly as background music and then got everyone up and involved later on. Couldn’t have asked for better!"

"I can't believe how amazing you were. You sang like an angel. I can't recommend you enough to anyone who wants to listen to you sing at any event. I had my family including 4 kids, although kids don't always take notice, you even managed to turn their heads and get them to watch and listen to you with delight Thank you so much "

"It’s not an exaggeration to say that Ella is one of the most talented vocalists I’ve ever had the pleasure of hearing live. I feel a little bit teary thinking about it! So soulful - I had goosebumps throughout! "

"We recently had the pleasure of hosting Jo's band at our work event in Elephant and Castle, and they were absolutely fantastic! Their set was spot-on, filled with perfect tunes that everyone knew and loved, creating a great atmosphere that kept the energy high throughout the night. They even took requests, which made the experience feel even more personalised and special for our team. Not only were they organised and professional, but they were also genuinely lovely people to work with. Jo and the band brought such warmth and charm to our event – we couldn't have asked for a better performance! Highly recommended for any occasion! "

"I wanted to thank you and the band for a wonderful afternoon of entertainment - the playing and singing was marvellous and not too loud so people could enjoy listening and talking at the same time and also inspired some dancing!! A lot of people asked where I found you so should anyone have an event coming up and need a jazz band I will pass on your details. Thank you once again for making the afternoon such a success - it would not have been the same without you!"
