"'Swing Gitan UK joined the Nottingham Jazz Orchestra on the bill of the Christmas Jazz Fest last weekend. Having seen Swing Gitan a number of times, I have always been massively impressed with the musical and technical ability of all members of the band. Their music would sound at home on the streets or riverbank walkways of Paris, but we were lucky enough for them to join us for a unique lineup of bands. Within just a few bars of their first number, (insert what you played first here, I can't remember, sorry lol), it is clear to all that Elliott Lewis and Wayne Jefferies, who take the positions as guitarists within the band, are masters of their instruments and faithfully re-create the music of Django Reinhardt, but adding their own style to numbers such as Minor Swing, Blue Bossa, and Undecided. Joined by bassist Rob Coates and James Tolhurst completing the lineup, their enthusiasm is infectious and the music always driving. If you ever get the chance to catch these guys doing a set, you will not be disappointed!' "

"Absolutely fantastic. We asked Swing Train 42 to play at our wedding (before the ceremony and during the drinks reception afterwards) and we were blown away. They were incredible! They really helped to create the most wonderful atmosphere and all of our guests commented on how fabulous they were. I could not recommend more highly. They were flexible and accommodating with our requests too (even playing something slightly slower than normal before our ceremony). Thank you again. "

"Thank you so much for playing at our wedding, my husband really wanted to have a gypsy jazz band to play at our wedding as it is his fathers favourite music, seeing my father in law listening to you and asking for requests with such a huge smile on his face certainly made every penny worth it!!!"

"It was a fantastic night and all the guests loved your performance which was a big part of the success of the night! You and your band played a wonderful set, everyone danced (which was not expected as it was a diner party) and we had the best time. You also looked great in your 1930/40 outfits!!!"

"Cafe Manouche are a young and up and coming band who played here at Le Que this year. Every Gypsy/swing band in the world aspires to play here and these guys 'stormed' it at their premier performance. We are so impressed with them, that we've booked several gigs & other projects for next year. They are must 'see' for their individual technical abilities, and they are just great, easy guys to work with. They won't disappoint! "

"We would like to say a heartfelt thank you to you and your band Bourbon St. Stompers for performing at our 10th Anniversary Gala Dinner...The whole event was a great success and a good portion of that success is down to your band...You did this with great enthusiasm and professionalism. Everyone was impressed by your talent and we have had a large amount of great comments regarding the band and this portion of the evening. It has turned out to be one of the main highlights. We really cannot say enough about the positive feedback we have gotten regarding Bourbon St. Stompers and we whole heartedly recommend you as a talented, professional and fun band."

"Thank you so much to the Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio, they were excellent from start to finish! They were easy to book and the communication was clear and fast. Everyone loved the band on the day and they made a special effort to organise a first dance for our families. We’re so glad we booked them! "
