Review Centre: Swing Bands

"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!"

"Joel & Ben provided the entertainment at my 50th birthday party, which was a black tie event in a boutique hotel. The boys arrived early, were well prepared and were setup in no time. As well as being talented & skilled musicians, they read the crowd well and were truly fantastic. Both on the night and in the days following, everyone was raving about Joel & Ben. I unreservedly recommend them!"

"The singer and the rest of the band were superb when they played at our Cheshire wedding. We can't thank you all enough - everyone loved you guys and guests keep telling us how much they enjoyed the band! You performed our first dance song so well and the perfect mix of jazz, swing and modern jazz went down a treat. A special thanks to you all!"

"Careful thought was taken in finding the right band and genre of music that would compliment our formal charity dinner held at Britannia Royal Naval College in October 2013. The band provided a superb tailored set of soft jazz and virtuoso performances which delighted the guests. The band delivered. A rich performance, utilising the natural acoustic qualities of the quarterdeck for the reception was followed, after dinner, with a cosy intimate set in the Senior Gunroom bar. The band delivered. They were simply outstanding, producing exactly what was required to make this special event so memorable. I can not recommend them highly enough!"

"We booked jazz prescription for our wedding. They were absolutely fantastic. Jeremy is just great and such a nice guy - great communication upfront and totally professional (both at the venue and beforehand). He arrived early on the day to set up and check everything was working, set up a microphone so I didn't have to worry about shouting in my brides' speech, and agreed to learn 5 or 6 new songs specifically for the day. The double-bass / saxophone duo and the band on the day were incredible. I have played music all my life so it was one of the priorities for the wedding. They did not disappoint. They are such good musicians. Jeremy picked up the trumpet for the first time in 5 years for one of the songs the band learnt (sing, sing, sing) and it was great. We received so many compliments about the band. Both on the evening (shouts of "one more song, one more song" at the end of their set) and afterwards. Everyone was raving about them. Booking jazz prescription was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. I would not hesitate to book them again if the opportunity arose (although hopefully not for another wedding!)."

"Very many thanks for coming in to sing for us last week. We have had so many complimentary comments from both customers and staff asking when you will be making another appearance! You certainly helped to brighten up an otherwise grey and gloomy day and managed to create a warm and festive atmosphere throughout the shop. We look forward to working with you again!"
