"Dr Jazz was great on Saturday evening. The performance created a nice, lively atmosphere for the event and all the guests obviously enjoyed it! I'll hold on to your details for any future events that we may hold at the hall. I'll also pass your details on to clients who are looking for entertainment for their weddings/parties."

"Thank you for a fantastic performance. The Warrant Officers’ & Sergeants’ Mess, Christmas Function 2019 appreciated the efforts from the band. The music was professionally delivered, sounded quality and enhanced the atmosphere. The performance enhanced the ‘Peaky Blinders’ themed event with tunes that everyone could dance, sing and relate to. All that attended have mentioned that you were brilliant and have walked away with lasting memories of the event."

"INCREDIBLE! 100% recommend JBMAC, communication from the start has been punctual and they have been very accommodating in helping to make our big day special. We booked them for our wedding and have had compliments from guests ever since. They brought passion, atmosphere kept our guests dancing the night away. They were also able to edit and mix our first dance song for that special touch so that it could kick into a more Upbeat song to avoid any awkward long dances and to encourage everyone onto the dance floor. I won't be getting married again but if the occasion calls for it, I'd book again in a heart beat and will champion them to friends and family for future events! Thank You."

"Omg how good were the singing waitresses and such lovely people. So many of the guests asked how we found them, and were impressed by the surprise, flirting slightly with Keith then bursting into the song “can’t take my eyes off of you” brill. Thank you and thank you again!"

"Ella Fitzgerald was born on 25 April 1917. She didn't have the easiest of starts to life - losing both parents and making a living on the streets as a teenager. She had hopes of becoming a dancer but had no training. What she did have was the gift of the smoothest, silkiest voice Jazz has known with the most delicate of touches - to hear Ella was to be kissed on the cheek by the lightest of breezes. Over her career she recorded 2,000 songs many of which are now Jazz standards - a fact in part due to the Fitzgerald imprimatur. Annette Gregory has a voice that is naturally lower in pitch than Ella’s and wisely she does not attempt a tribute act that imitates - rather her performance is a celebration of Ella’s legacy and the songs that will be sung and heard for as long as humans live on this planet. For this gig she was to have been accompanied by a quartet but unfortunately the bassist and sax player were caught up in a traffic standstill on the M6, but the piano (John) and drums (Matt) backing meant the stripped down support ensured that we focused on the songs. Just as Annette does not try to sound like Ella, neither does she slavishly follow her interpretations. This was strikingly apparent in songs such as “Miss Otis Regrets” and “The Man I Love” (which was more of a rocking blues than the familiar ballad). Annette's delivery is characterised by controlled, fluent and delicate phrasing and a pair of ballads - “When a Woman Loves a Man” and “Embraceable You” - were particularly pleasing. Let's hope that Annette and the full quartet make it back to Buxton soon! (10 / 10)"

"They were just amazing! They were early for the event, I had arranged a time for them to begin playing but we ran over (cake cutting/ first dance etc) and they didn't mind at all even though it meant they would not be able to get home as soon as they would have! They took requests, got people dancing, even went up to guests and sung directly to them which was brilliant! We've had such good feedback from our guests and would definitely recommend them! Lovely guys and I can't thank them enough! Kate Blackmore. "

"Hi Anne, Many thanks for the wonderful music! My wife and I didn't get to hear enough unfortunately but many of the guests were very complimentary. The Game of Thrones theme went down very well and sounded great! Regards, Matt"

"Just wanted to say thank you so much to you and the rest of the band for playing at our wedding. We absolutely loved the music! And I never imagined you’d get us all doing a conga line – absolutely fantastic! Our guests have mentioned just how much they enjoyed your music and even now 2 months on are still raving about it."

"We were thrilled with the Tom Belbin Trio's performance as the evening band at our wedding reception. They were very friendly and helpful in the run up to the day, and their performance was just wonderful. Our guests certainly loved them, and we had many comments on the variety of songs The Tom Belbin Trio performed and the quality of the musicianship. We're only sorry our party tired earlier than expected and we couldn't provide them with the number of dancing feet they deserved towards the end of the evening!!"

"Thank you for Friday night! You guys were amazing, our guests all commented on how great you were and I'm sure you could tell by how many were on the dancefloor. Highlight of the night had to be leading the conga through the De Grey Rooms, though not sure how well the video worked out, I'm a beginner with a selfie stick!!! Thanks so much for helping to make it a night to remember."
