Review Centre: 1920s, 30s & 40s Style Bands

"Gemma is a very unique and professional artist with impeccable vocals. She has the ability to capture a wide variety of audiences with her extensive repertoire and never fails to please. Having seen Gemma perform live and in the studio I am amazed by her dedication to strive for perfection and she always leaves her audience wanting more."

"These ladies proved perfect for our 1940's themed cruises, entertaining our passengers with a great range of wartime and big band standards, with frequent changes of costumes and great audience interaction. A delightful trio of ladies who were more than happy to change set lists and performance times throughout the day according to the needs of the ship. Their day with us ended in passengers dancing and joining in a full throated sing- a - long to much acclaim. One of the most entertaining and versatile groups I have used in 40 years of running cruises, we have received strong positive feedback from our passengers, and will be booking Angie and her trio again in 2025 for another 40s themed cruises. I recommend this group for any occasion, cruise or function. You will not be disappointed!. Tim Wardley. Waverley Excursions Thames Liaison Officer."

"A very professional pair. Arrived on time and ready for action. Their two sets of 40's music was well sung and presented. What lifts them from a 9 out 10 to 10 out of 10 was the banter between the two singers within and between numbers. Terrific! ....in a good way... I would not hesitate to hire these ladies again."

"Swinging like a barn door in a Texas breeze, the album shows the tightness of a band that have spent many years on the road. An established favourite on the jazz and nostalgia circuit, this well respected and popular five piece have evolved a contemporary style from a mash up of genres from the early 20th century...Cool jazz guitar, bass driven swing, excellent dobro, evocative harmonica and smokey vocal tones, velvet dipped in bourbon. Material is varied and well chosen, a souvenir from stage from one of the best live jazz-lite bands on the circuit."

"Ruby sang for us at our Annual Bubbles and Lunch Charity event for Ladies Fighting Breast Cancer in Dec at the Burlington Hotel in Birmingham which was attended by over 200 Business women. Ruby was amazing and kept our audience thoroughly entertained with her choice of great songs. She was also dressed beautifully like a Mrs Christmas which was very appropriate for this Christmas event. Ruby was very professional throughout our whole event and we would not hesitate in booking her again for another occasion."

" I just wanted to say a huge thank you to Ruby! Ruby came to perform for us at Fountains Care Home for our VE Day celebrations and she filled our home with so much joy and fun. It was our residents first time hearing live music since last year and everyone had a wonderful time singing and dancing along too.It was a perfect way to celebrate VE Day & we can’t wait to have Ruby back with us at Fountains!"

"We needed something engaging but also for the background at our Christmas doo which worked for all age groups. The girls were professional, lovely to work with and have the most beautiful voices. Just perfect, thank you."

Ione brought fantastic energy to the evening and it was a joy to have them play for us. We couldn't recommend them more highly for any aspiring couples wanting a great evening of live music for their big day!"

"We just wanted to say thank you to you and to the rest of the band for the most fantastic two sets at our wedding. Friends and family are still asking us about you all and saying it's the best band they've heard at a wedding. We were delighted with all the songs that you chose and especially grateful to you for playing 'Tonight I'll be Staying Here with You'. The accordion sounded great in that song! You judged the mood of the evening perfectly and the music moved along beautifully in response to this. I think it was a real highlight of the day for us and all of our guests, especially the children who loved seeing you all playing your instruments."
