"Loved having Jonny Kerry perform for us as part of our Italian themed celebrations. What a lovely atmosphere it created and our diners loved him. Very much enjoyed working with Jonny and can't wait for him to return back to the restaurant for our Beaujolais Nouveau evening. "

"A surprise party for my parents 50th Wedding Anniversary and Sarah was just amazing, the choice of songs were brilliant and we wished she could’ve sang the whole evening. Certainly the highlight of the night was ‘Hit The Road Jack’ sing-a-long with my Dad & brothers, Sarah joined in and made it so memorable, such a wonderful video. I cannot recommend Sarah highly enough"

"Thank you so much to the Kings of Hot Swing. They were absolutely brilliant and really set the mood for the evening. I've had so much lovely feedback, particularly on the first dance, which was fantastic. Thanks again! "

"The band were absolutely fantastic at our wedding. Perfect in every way, both for those who just wanted to sit and listen with a drink, and for those who wanted to dance and be silly (which was pretty much everyone, by the end). They were wonderful from start to finish!"

"Talented Jazz duo who created the most amazing atmosphere at our Wedding breakfast. This was a surprise to my Wife and she was thrilled to arrive at the venue to hear them playing. Really talented, professional duo that would be perfect for that special occasion. Thank you both for making our Wedding day special."

"Ma Bessie and the Pigfoot Band, so as you might imagine, we stayed rooted in the 20’s and 30’s, but with a more rounded, sophisticated feel. No one does Bessie Smith better that Ma Bessie, and we are lucky to have her as a local artist here in Reading. As her Pigfoot duo finished getting ready for the set, Ms Bessie launched into an unaccompanied ‘Life Is Too Short’ taken from her album of the same name. As soon as she takes to the stage she creates an immediate connection with her audience. They are all her friends, and she chats her way through the set. With timeless classics such as ‘Hot Time In The Old Town Tonight’ and ‘Do Your Duty’, Bessie Smith featured highly in the set. Songs like ‘Downhearted Blues’ and ‘Trouble Trouble’ kept the mood intact, whilst songs like ‘Sugar In My Bowl’ and ‘Whip It To A Jelly’ highlighted the risqué fun elements of the music of the era. Matt Foster provides the perfect solid guitar rhythm and bass line support for the smooth yet gutsy vocal, and with Chuck Lloyd adding his superb saxophone it was another fine performance. "

"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."

"A soulful singer, a classic 1940s, Event and wedding singer. We saw her at a 1940 event at Morecambe and also at the Lytham St Annes Spitfire Display Team 1940s event at Hangar 42, Blackpool Airport in October. Highly recommended. "
