"The quality of the musicians, the outfits and the overwhelming presence of the group was definitely impressive. Aside from their professionalism, it was also great to find that every member of the band was enthusiastic, vibrant and warm! The audience love them and so do we. I can't recommend them enough!"

"Thank again for playing for us at our wedding - you were absolutely fantastic on the day and were also a pleasure to deal with in the run up to our big day. As I mentioned on the day, we had quite a few musicians amongst our guests who were all very impressed with you. Greg (the Owner) also thought you were fantastic. We had so many comments from people on the day saying how good you were and we thought you helped to create a great atmosphere, plus you were great to Lindy hop to! We're so glad we booked such a great band and will definitely be recommending you to all our friends. "

"Thank you very much for playing for us on Saturday. It was excellent and exactly what I wanted. Everyone said how much they enjoyed the music and the fact that they could maintain a conversation whilst still enjoying your playing. I am only sorry that the musicians hear the public thanks because my birthday cake only came out after they had gone which is when I said how pleased was with the music. We will definitely be recommending you to anyone who wants live music and I think my friend Sally will definitely be in touch re her daughter’s wedding in August. Thanks for helping the evening a success."

"Better than we hoped for. They gave us wonderful music which provided the perfect background for a small lunch party set in the garden in rural Devon. It was magic. Thank you. "

"Where do I start? We booked Paul McDowell for our anniversary party. He was highly professional from start to finish. He was versatile with songs and genres which really showcased his vocal ability. Highly recommend!."

"When my husband and I celebrated our 50th birthdays we wanted a cool and sophisticated party, so we planned a summer party in a marquee in the garden. Joel and Ben created the perfect atmosphere playing their soulful jazz. Everyone thought they were amazing! I would thoroughly recommend them."

"The BHV (group of 4 musicians) played at a 50th birthday party held outside on a pub terrace. They were excellent and pitched the songs perfectly for the location and ambience of the event. There was great communication beforehand, and on the night they took care of everything, knowing we would be busy with guests - they both set up with no fuss and packed up quickly and unobtrusively at the end of the evening. Guests commented on how good they were, including one friend who is a saxophonist himself and plays in a band! I would definitely recommend them."

"Now that we're back from honeymoon and getting into the swing of things again, we thought it was time to sart thanking the many people who helped to make our day - and evening - so special. You and the band were amazing! Such a fantastic sound and a wonderful set - including the horn section on "All You Need Is Love" - made for a night we'll all remember for the rest of our lives. Our guests and Jamie at Micklefield Hall have all commented on what a fantastic band Count Down To Swing are. Thank you so much for being so flexible, so lovely to deal with - but most of all thank you so much for the wonderful music!!"
