"Hetty and the Jazzato Band are absolutely fantastic. Despite not speaking a word of italian, we were happy listening to them all night - to be fair, they really could have kept singing for the entire evening. I've seen them sing a few times now, and my friends are always impressed with just how amazing Hettys voice is. I've become a big fan and will defo consider hiring them for any events I have. Also, you'll know most of the italian songs they sing! "

"I would like to say that I feel privileged to have had Sarah-Jane and her band performing at our retirement party. Everything about the Jazz band was wonderful, they all looked very smart and professional and their performance was absolutely fantastic. Many asked where I had found them and others just thought I knew Sarah-Jane personally as she was so friendly! I cannot thank them enough for making our event such a wonderful success, we will have lovely memories of the afternoon which seemed to end too soon - I just wanted them to play on and on! Thank you all so very, very much."

"The BV's played for us at our wedding. Their set was the perfect mix of classics and more recent hits; guaranteed to get everyone on the dance floor. Carol and the band expertly arranged our first dance request, Michael Buble's rendition of 'You gotta friend in me'. They made the night truly memorable!"

"Just wanted to drop you a quick email to say thank you for Friday night. You were absolutely amazing, and better than we imagined. The staff have all said how brilliant you were. Thank you for being part of our Works party. We really enjoyed having you there and the music you played was just what we wanted and hoped for. We are all still talking about the night and I have party blues. Wish it hadn’t happened yet so I could do it all again. Your details will definitely come in use for future events I’m sure."

"We cannot speak highly enough of Elliot and the band who played at our wedding. Organising, booking and liaising with them was a complete pleasure and they accommodated our needs to the finest detail. Their repertoire was upbeat, yet relaxed and their flexibility to adjust to the mood of the evening and crowd was superb. We have received rave reviews of the band from our friends and family who loved the cheerful music and entertainment. We can’t recommend them enough!"

"Lucinda sang last year for my husband’s 50th. She was absolutely brilliant. She was very helpful when planning the set list, with plenty of ideas to help us decide. She was fantastic on the night and would thoroughly recommend her! "

"Small Days guitarist Dave Merrick was the master of ceremonies, with vocalist Natalie Davies and sax player Brendan Whitmore joining him for the live songs. Dave unfolded the story at a well-judged pace, with records of Bessie Smith’s evocative voice even drawing applause from the attentive audience whenever they were included. The live contribution was important, too, and Natalie wisely steered away from imitating Bessie’s full-throated contralto to emphasis the singer’s lyrics with an upbeat swing on numbers like Need A Little Sugar and Send Me To The Electric Chair. Brendan Whitmore switched between soprano and tenor sax, the former particularly eloquent on Need A Little Sugar, the latter coming to the fore on T’Aint Nobody’s Business If I Do. All in all it was a satisfying journey through blues history with one of the great women who made the music what it became. Impressively, this was its first performance – and hopefully it will be seen again. - Tony Benjamin, Bristol 24/7 (Apr 08, 2017)"

"Mimi Rouge was absolutely fantastic!! The atmosphere she brought to our Christmas Party was brilliant. Would highly recommend hiring her for any event. The variety of songs she was able to sing was brilliant and all our volunteers and staff have commented on how amazing she was. Would definitely hire again in the future for other events if we can!"

"[Gaylene] Parish's voice was warm and expressive throughout, and Williams proved to be the ideal accompanist with his light, melodic touch and studied rhythmic flow. John Barham played strong, firm bass lines, and the three sounds - piano, voice and bass - blended together successfully."
