"Sara has been a regular feature & also running our regular Sunday jazz for 3 months now. The atmosphere on Sundays is just perfect! Sara also did a special one-off Christmas special with her trio. The repertoire was perfect & the clientele loved it, singing along & just having a great time. I can’t recommend Sara enough. Fantastic singer, so professional & easy to work with. Merry Christmas to Sara & her team!"

"" Swing Gitan are a band that as soon as they start playing you can't help smiling and dancing along. Not only are they accomplished and exceptional musicians but they bring a warmth and sincerity that is needed within an event. From a bookers point of view they were accommodating right up until the event and were always ready to change their set around or put in some songs they didn't know to make it really special for us. My event wouldn't have been as successful if Swing Gitan hadn't have been there and I couldn't recommend them highly enough" "

"Just wanted to pass on my thanks to you and Chateaux Swing for their performance yesterday. It was just exactly the best of what I was hoping for when I booked you, they were absolutely brilliant, perfect for the event, and my dad (who’s not been well) loved it. I couldn’t work out how you were going to do a bossa nova with the instruments you had, but I hadn’t factored in the multi talents of your bassist! And I shall never again listen to J’attendrai without thinking of English cats…. I can’t give you anything but love was a particular highlight for me (though actually also come to think of it, Putting on the Ritz and Honeysuckle Rose), but people loved Football’s coming home too; and Sweet Sue went down really well with my mum. It just couldn’t have been better in any way, we were so delighted and they really made the whole day, thank you so much,"

"A masterclass in blustery jazz swing infused with addictive rhythm and blues, blazing horns and galloping double bass, with highlights coming thick and fast!"

"Just a quick note to say another huge thanks for everything - all the guests loved the music, as did we, and it was so lovely that you could also play the two songs we really wanted :) We had a brilliant time, and the music really made it, thanks again."

"We are back from a wonderful two weeks in Greece and finally have time to sit down and write to you. Thank you so much for your wonderful playing at our wedding, you surpassed all expectations! 'Moon River' for our first dance was just perfect, we had so much fun showing off to our guests! A lot of our friends and family are musicians and we had lots of comments on the night about how great you were and we will certainly recommend you to anyone who asks!"

"WOW…. and THANK YOU for being simply fantastic. What fun we had and you guys were a big part of that. To all of you out there considering and or wanting live music for your special occasion, then I would highly recommend them. We had Cafe Manouche join us for our intimate family wedding (80 people) and everyone loved them, everyone danced and everyone had a great time, they were brilliant. We also asked them to play the music for the wedding ceremony and that too was delightful. Thank you Cafe Manouche for being part of a most magical weekend. Very very happy."

"Swinging like a barn door in a Texas breeze, the album shows the tightness of a band that have spent many years on the road. An established favourite on the jazz and nostalgia circuit, this well respected and popular five piece have evolved a contemporary style from a mash up of genres from the early 20th century...Cool jazz guitar, bass driven swing, excellent dobro, evocative harmonica and smokey vocal tones, velvet dipped in bourbon. Material is varied and well chosen, a souvenir from stage from one of the best live jazz-lite bands on the circuit."
