"Hello Jimmy I just wanted to say a huge T H A N K Y O U to you and the band for your performance at my birthday bash at the weekend, you were absolutely brilliant. You got the party started and kept everybody on their feet all night, fantastic set choice (I knew I’d made the right decision to let you choose the music) and you matched my preferences perfectly – I don’t recall any tracks that didn’t have me tapping my toes. I am especially touched by the memory of your rendition of a song played personally for me [the Palaye Royale track], which you and the band learnt specifically for my party – absolutely incredible. You should see the smile I have at this moment remembering it. There aren’t enough superlatives to properly express how grateful I am, a party needs people but people need good bouncy music to feel good and you provided the perfect soundtrack for a feel good night. The music soundtrack you selected between your sets and whilst setting up was perfect too, the party never missed a beat! You are all clearly talented musicians who know your instruments very well, as evidenced by learning the new track for me, and I would ask you to pass on my thanks to Mickey and Neil (just simply brilliant) and the irrepressible Stuart banging away on his D-Drum Dios Bubinga snare drum – he was a joy to meet! Thank you, I hope I get to see you again. "

"Jimmy kept in touch in the lead up to the wedding making sure we had everything we wanted included in their live sets. It was all so well organised and went like clockwork. Can’t thank them enough for such a fantastic night, all our guests loved it."

"The Swing Stakes brought the funk to Chestertons Terrace overlooking the landmarks of London, United Kingdom! What a wonderful way to start the London Bridge Parade for #makemusicdayuk!"

"Wow...These guys completely made our evening. The sound was so polished and professional, and they looked the part too. I couldn't believe how good the vocals and horns sounded together. Everything ran smoothly and the transitions between sets were seamless."

"I just want to ask you to pass on our special thanks to Eugene and the boys for their fantastic performance last week for our Summer BBQ. Everyone enjoyed it and it was a pleasure to meet them. They truly lifted everyone’s spirits, and thank you for organising for them to play for us."

"The band were absolutely amazing, we had them for an acoustic set at the start of the evening, which was outside due to some fab weather, this was followed by them performing our first dance, we were a little concerned they would not know it as most people had never heard of it! But they did a fantastic job! They then really got the party started and I can honestly say there was no point in the whole night where the dance floor was not full! I was absolutely amazed with their energy and choice of music, they read our guests and atmosphere really well and we could not have asked for a better evening! Would definitely recommend them. xx"

"We hired Open Freeway for our Wedding Party and from the first phone call with Jake we knew we were in safe hands. The guys were very professional throughout while still carrying the vibe we were expecting based on their profile. Communication all the way through was excellent, working around our schedule, and going into detail on our music tastes and what we would like from the night. In the evening the band were prompt, setting up efficiently and letting myself and my wife be stress-free!. Performance was brilliant, high energy and thoroughly enjoyed by all our guests! Thanks again for making our night so great."

"Thanks for everything on the night mate, you and the band absolutely smashed it! Everybody had an amazing time and there were a few sore throats/hangovers in the morning. It was a bit of shame it had to end so early, as I think everybody was quite up for kicking on quite late, but it was an amazing day for the both of us topped of with an amazing party in the evening. Thanks again for everything, and I will not hesitate to recommend you to anybody wanting a quality band at any functions, I’ll hopefully see you all again at one in the future!"

"Super tight funky and disco band with incredible singers. Studio Groove kept the dance floor packed all night and made the evening of our wedding so much fun. Band leader Derrick was very approachable, asking in advance of the event if I had any requests for additional songs. I'd 100% book Studio Groove again if I'm ever organising another event that needs great music. Thank you Derrick and the band!"

"Feeling the love with this feedback, thanks Jez! 🎶✨ What a wonderful evening with the Village Beats. A fantastic set which had us up on our feet dancing away early on! The band and singers put everything into the night and there were no disappointments at all. Everything was spot on. The volume was not too loud or quiet, just right for the venue. Every musician was on point and engaged with the audience with purpose and feeling. I could not have been happier! - Jez"
