"Ria were exactly what I wanted for my 60th birthday Cuban themed party. A very professional band that played wonderful laid back latin music that was fun to dance to as the evening went on. So pleased that we booked them as it really made the event, and all my guests loved then."

"Frankie and Pete were absolutely brilliant. They were such lovely people to have around on the day (very sweet and accommodating), and their music was really wonderful - just what we were hoping for. They are an incredibly talented pair and we would like to highly recommend them to others. Our guests thought they were fantastic too. All best wishes, Claire and Phil "

"Rory played for our client's open-air Brazilian carnival summer barbeque. Combining swinging samba and Bossa Nova with up-tempo popular tunes and funky originals, he went down a treat with our guests, creating a festive atmosphere and keeping them drinking and dancing until the embers glowed. The standard of musicianship was excellent and the level of professionalism very high. A great success!"

Hi Andy, That's great - thanks for this! Sure, please do get in touch should you require the Latin trio for any of your events (I know that the bar expressed an interest on the day). Thanks and best regards, Rory

"Thank you very much for playing for us this evening. It was a great atmosphere and thoroughly enjoyed by staff and customers alike. We would very much like you to return if at all possible. The experience could only have been enhanced if Havana reps could have attended and given our guests some samples. All in all a great experience. Thank you to everyone."

"We invited South West Swing Collective to be our house band for the afternoon as we ran an intergenerational tea dance event as part of The International Agatha Christie Festival. From young children to dancers in their 90s, South West Swing Collective entertained everyone with boundless energy and style. Thank you for getting everyone tapping their toes, up on their feet and swinging around the room. "

"We can't thank you enough for the amazing live music you played for our wedding reception on Saturday at Pimhill Barn. So many people have said you made their evening and you certainly made ours! The music meant I didn't stop dancing and I loved every second - our wedding wouldn't have been the same without you. Thank you so much and can't wait to see you when you are next playing in Shrewsbury (please let me know as all my friends keep asking). All the best, Mr & Mrs Groves"

"B & The Hornets quite frankly made our evening. It was very easy to organize timings with them in the run up to our event, and they were very accommodating on the evening regarding their sets and their performances. Entirely professional, they were fully prepared regarding their own equipment. The performance was phenomenal and they were able to provide just the right atmosphere for the event. Working both as a full quartet and as a smaller group, they truly showed how capable they were as entertainers. You will not be disappointed with them."

"The most gorgeous treat of a lunchtime gig yesterday at All Saints, Hove (Concert Series) with the Terry Seabrook Trio. Terry on piano, Nigel Thomas, bass, and Darren Beckett, drums. Celebrating the music of Bill Evans & Miles Davis. Sensitive and atmospheric. And thanks to Peter Morris for this innovative series in such an amazing setting. "
