Review Centre: Cabaret Bands

"We engaged Tom to provide entertainment for a social evening for about 60 people. There was a wide range of ages although the older generation predominated. He beautifully performed songs of a variety of styles. Within a few minutes of starting, people were up dancing without requiring any encouragement. So, thanks Tom for a wonderful evening."

"So very many thanks for your voice and expert playing. Hugely enjoyable. I drove home singing about Summertime over the rainbow and more! Mum loved it and I have had appreciations from all."

"Fi has, rightly, a greatly praised voice, and this worked a treat in that environment. She possesses excellent technique & frequently went for complex lines and pulled them all off with aplomb. She has equally good dynamic sensibilities and used shifts of these with discretion for extra effect. Alex's playing mirrored this: skilled yet tasteful with generally chorded accompaniment when Fi was singing and when it came to his solos, the runs, though often improvised, served the song, not his ego. They have an empathetic understanding I think: not just in the interplay between voice & piano but also in their several duets & this was another element in the playfulness"

"I honestly don’t think it would’ve been so much fun without you. My mother-in-law said it was one of the best nights she’d ever had!"

"Kai's band played at my sister's wedding reception. Wow! She has a beautiful mellow voice and easy style. Enjoyed by everyone especially the small group of us left chilling at the end... would book her any time."

"Thank you so much Jo for helping to make our Charity Ball such a fantastic evening. Everyone commented on how they enjoyed your singing. With such a mixed audience you did a great job and even managed to get people on the dance floor which we don't normally manage to do! Would certainly book you again. Thanks for helping us raise such a great sum for the children in Africa that we support."

"Absolutely superb. I hope you didn't mind playing to diners? Everyone has said they loved the ambience, with one lady saying she and her table "were swaying while we ate" Wonderful, groovy night!"

"Thank you so much, you were absolutely fantastic. Everyone has been talking about your performance, and you certainly made the party and gave a very authentic 1940's feel to the night, I would highly recommend you to anyone hosting a 1940's themed party."

"Viviana put on a great show, and really captured the voice and delivery of Marilyn - maybe she will go a step further and be platinum blonde next time! Also would be good to hear with a full band, rhythm section etc... Looking forward to the next one."
