"I feel compelled to write a quick note following your amazing work on Saturday. I’ve loved the full gamut of music you guys play since I was introduced to it in my early 20s. That music has become hugely important to me ever since. You played so beautifully, set the tone wonderfully and I know worked with the coordinator to play outside during the reception. It was more perfect than we could have imagined. Thank you all so much."

"Francesca has a voice that you can rely on, she’s mesmerising, always on key, and she sets a feeling of luxury to an event. I chose Francesca due to her roots in Jazz, her Italian heritage (I work for Dolce & Gabbana) and her glamorous look. She made the event work, she had the crowd singing along and dancing and fulfilled every part of the brief – a consummate professional. I would strongly recommend booking Francesca for your next event, whether corporate, wedding or at your business."

"Just to say Ruby did a fantastic performance last night. The night was a real success and I feel so fortunate. I must say better than any one we have had here before. Thank you so much, I am really grateful that Ruby was able to step in at such short notice."

"They were so accommodating and even added a new song to their repertoire as I requested Gary Smiths favourite song of Bring Me Sunshine, he was over the moon when he heard it. So many of our guests were mesmerized by Max and the music, we had lots commenting on how fantastic they were and how lovely it was to have a proper band playing! Everything was perfect from the initial e-mail to the very end, I can't recommend them highly enough. Thank you so very much"

"I really am so grateful to you for giving us exactly what we had wanted for the occasion, in presentation, in the programme selection, and in the brilliant jazz you played. We had many, many favourable comments, including from guests who had gone outside for some of the time to talk in the sunshine, but who could hear and appreciate all the music from the patio. It was altogether a gloriously memorable day… Warmest regards "

"I liked the fact that when booking it was 'relaxed' in that it was not too rigid with the timing. Unfortunate that Hannah was sick but this made no difference to my party as Sarah -Jane stepped in. Again flexibility (on both sides) resulted in a great performance - we received lots of compliments only downside was that we were unable to listen as much as we would have liked to .... There's always a next time. ..... We and especially our guests thoroughly enjoyed the performance - very happy to recommend . Ann & Antonio"

"I just wanted to thank you for helping our birthday party go with a swing last Saturday. The atmosphere was brilliant and you all looked the part at our vintage themed night. Everyone commented on how much they enjoyed watching you and listening and dancing to your fantastic music. If we ever need a band or hear of anyone who does you are top of the list! Thank you again!"
