Review Centre: Swing Bands

"I first stumbled across Dave one afternoon while walking through Dean Village in Edinburgh. I heard music drifting from under the Dean Bridge and was instantly drawn to it. There he was, playing and singing with such warmth and soul that I stood in awe for quite some time. I took his card that day, never knowing how beautifully our paths would cross again. When my now-husband proposed and we began planning our wedding in Loch Lomond, we knew we wanted Dave to be part of it. He played during our champagne reception, joined by a saxophonist, and created the most magical atmosphere. His infectious smile and genuine warmth shone through his music, captivating not only us but all of our guests. Everyone loved him as much as we did! We’ll treasure those memories forever and know we’ll be inviting him again for future celebrations. Thank you, Dave, for sharing your incredible gift with us."

"We experienced the wonderful soothing Jazz tones of Sonia and her band at Penlee Park Open Air Theatre. Sonia and the team played in this unique setting and entertained us with an evening of Gin and Jazz. The highly skilled musicians, with their double bass, keys, flute and saxophone accompanied the amazing vocals to many a well loved tune. We would highly recommend going along to one of their future gigs, or booking them for your own gig!"

"Thank you for your message. We were so pleased and impressed with the band. Thank you for playing so brilliantly and for your relaxed and accommodating attitude. You made our day very special especially playing the requested songs so well. I know my Dad, Sue and Becks really enjoyed singing with the band and you made it so easy for them. Particularly enjoyed our first dance! Thanks ever so much."

Thanks Jorga! As you know, we had a real problem with the traffic getting to the venue but once we were there it was a great evening. The manager and staff at El Vino were really helpful and your colleagues were a lovely enthusiastic bunch. Consequently it was a real pleasure to perform for you and your company. We'd be delighted to do it again when a suitable occasion comes round! - Kit.

"Hi Andy Just a quick mail to thank you again for all your hard work at the weekend. We had an absolute ball and you were brilliant. Our friends were really impressed and commented how great the entertainment was. Oh, and 10/10 for sorting out dancing/backing music and saving the day after the DJ broke down! Very happy to give you my full recommendation. "

"We have booked Oriana & the Charmers as a three piece in our restaurant on a Wednesday night. The first night was a huge success with people up dancing and generally having a great time. I would definitely recommend Oriana due to her professionalism and integrity to anyone else interested in an easy-going band with lots of talent."
