"A lovely tenor voice…by the end of the evening the Purcell Room had become a tavern."

"We all know the Vera Lynn favourites from the Wartime era, but this inventive, funny and playful duet takes the music of the 40s and a bit beyond to a new level, including numbers which I'd forgotten about, but loved. They are a perfect harmonic duet, with voices which cover the full range, each bringing their own complimentary personalities to the songs. And what a variety of songs there are! From the tear jerking wartime hits, to the fun and frivolity that also comes with that era: 'I like coffee, I like tea' from the Ink Spots. They don't make life easy for themselves! Some of the lyrics are real tongue twisters, but they bring polish and verve to what they do. Their humour between numbers keeps the whole evening in the Forties 'vibe', and their close harmony gives the Andrews Sisters a run for their money. I'm a child of the 60s, but really enjoyed the evening. If you love close harmony of the era, nostalgia and playful fun you will love this show."

"Marvellous entertainment, switching perfectly from mellow background music to upbeat moment-capturing stuff. Highly recommended as a 7-piece."

"We just wanted to say an enormous THANK YOU to you and Alex for the fantastic set you did on Saturday at Ben’s 40’s Themed 40th Birthday Party! You were so friendly and helpful that many of the guests assumed you were friends of Ben’s. Well you are now! Your voices and Alex’s guitar playing were really lovely and the choice of songs was spot on. I really appreciated the way you took charge of any announcements and navigated the events during the evening without ever taking over, so that it took away any stress from us. Thanks also for enabling Izzy to use the backing tracks so that she could sing some special songs for Ben .You both really helped to make the evening such an enjoyable event for all involved. Lots of people commented on the music and wanted to know who you were, and the staff at the venue said how much they had enjoyed the music and the atmosphere it created. I know Ben will be in touch with you soon, but once again thank you both so much again for helping to make the event ‘go with a swing’ so that we all had a really lovely evening. Best wishes for all the busy times to come,"

"Hi Toby and Jake, I'm sorry that this has taken me ages, but better late than never.   I wanted to write and say how much we enjoyed your playing at Mike's 60th birthday party.  The whole evening exceeded my wildest dreams and that is largely because of your great playing.  Mike loved what you played, we all did and I think your fantastic guitar solo which continued through the power cut was monumental.  I just wish we could do it all again - it was over too quickly.  I'm not sure how to leave a testimonial, but I'll put something here and you can use it as you wish. Thanks again to you both. LaGb Karen (and Mike) xx Toby and Jake played for the 60th birthday party of my husband Mike.  We took over the pub and had just 40 special guests.  The guys took real care to select and prepare just the right kind of music for my Jimi Hendrix, Rock/blues obsessed old man and played brilliantly.  Everything was so professionally handled and effortless as far as we were concerned and I'd book them again without hesitation.  What was really special was the efforts made to provide just the musical accompaniment our evening needed.  And we all know how important the music is to a good party!  At one point the fuses went in the pub and we lost power, but Toby kept playing and produced a phenomenal 10 minute guitar solo during which the staff got the power back on.  It was mesmerising.   The evening was a total success and quite unforgettable.  "
