"We booked the Platinum Jazz Band for a charity event with 400 guests, and the communication beforehand was great, was able to leave Rob to liaise with the AV team which made my job a lot easier! The band sounded great and got lots of feedback from guests wanting their details for other bookings! We’ll have them back next year!"

"We booked Jonathan and his band after reading the reviews for a birthday/Christmas party. They were excellent and all 40 guests thoroughly enjoyed it. A couple have already ask for his contact detail. We would recommend them to anyone and will definitly book again."

"A lovely set performed by a lady with a beautiful voice. Fleur came along to play at my mother's 90th birthday party and entertained everyone with her wonderful soulful tones. A great evening complimented wonderfully by an excellent performer. Thank you Fleur."

"We hired Jazz Eclipse for our wedding in Italy. They drove all the way with all their equipment. Thanks so much guys for making our day so perfect. They learnt our first dance song especially and played it so well. They light up the room and made the day so much fun. I'd recommend to anyone who wants amazing music, people and the wow factor!!"

"We booked Sonia and her band for our first ever Summer party, sponsored by Peroni. We really wanted to create a classy and fun event which would be different to anything in the area, and they certain delivered that. The look and feel of the band perfectly complimented the event and playing outside on our lovely decking created an amazing atmosphere for all our guests. The diverse use of songs really helped our guests enjoy classic singalongs with an incredible jazzy vibe. My personal favourite moment however, has to be the fact you could hear the music out in the front garden as well, creating a pub wide effect and seeing families not near the music still dancing and singing away was incredible. I would highly recommend, especially with saxophone."

"We thought Down for the Count did an outstanding job and so did all of our friends and family. Everyone could not stop raving about how great the music was. Honestly, we wouldn't have changed a thing and were so impressed. Most of all, it was so special to hear New York, New York as a closing song and we really appreciate your initiative to create those extra special touches for us! Without a doubt, we would recommend Down for the Count to any other friends getting married."

"We booked Lucinda for the ceremony package for our wedding. She sang a mixture of genres and when my wife was walking down the aisle she sung some opera. This created so much drama and really amplified the emotion for our guests, especially my wife and I! She has an incredible voice and was very easy to communicate with, exchanging many emails and messages as well as video call to make sure everything was perfect. Our guests kept commenting on how great she was and what a good idea it was to have her. So glad we added her to our wedding, we actually we wish we had her for the wedding breakfast as well now. Well worth the money"

"Bessie’s life in blues brought back to life. Some performers deserve to be known by more than their work. Bessie Smith won fame as Empress of the Blues in the 1020’s, but there was more to her life than money and fame. She died in 1937, but 80 years on a good sized crowd were held rapt at the Thunderbolt as Dave Merrick narrated her life story, from a ragged upbringing in the American South, with the help of original recordings. Bessie shot to fame because her unique vocal style could cut through the limitations of 1920s recording technology. But it was the live performances the Totterdown audience were waiting for, and Natalie Davis on vocals, with Dave on guitar and Brenan Whitmore on saxophone did not disappoint. Renditions of I Need A Little Sugar in my Bowl, and ‘Taint Nobodies Business If I Do made the magic of Bessie shine, from the slow paced blues of the 1920s to the syncopated swing of the 1930. . the show had the audience rapt. - Paul Breeden, South Bristol Voice (May 01, 2017)"
