Review Centre: Jazz Bands

"Boogie Bumpers was booked for a 60th birthday party, having found the band online. As advertised it is a swing and jive band, so clearly not suitable if you are wanting more modern music. The evening more than met our expectations and a fantastic evening was had by all. We have nothing but absolute praise and positivity for the experience. The seven piece band brought energy and professional musicality to the occasion and we were fantastically entertained. They performed two one hour sets with a mix of slower and more energetic numbers. The vocalist was superb and set the right tone for the evening. It was loud for a small pub Tithe Barn venue but that was good. We cannot thank Andrew enough for the way he was able to accommodate our requirements. This was originally booked for mid July but, because of illness in our family, it had to be postponed until late September. This proved no problem to the band. Andrew's communication throughout via email was excellent and welcome. Probably to get the best from the band, the venue could have been a little bigger (to get the very best from the band they need a venue that houses 50-60+ comfortably) and they would be especially suited to a wedding reception venue. Although the cost appeared a little prohibitive for the sort of gathering and numbers we were expecting for this party, the price paid in the end was excellent value and worth every penny. Our sincere thanks go to Andrew and his fellow band members for providing us with lovely memories, hopefully, for years to come!"

"An absolute delight to deal with from beginning to end! For a couple who lacked a strong musical vocabulary, Sonia turned what could have been an arduous experience into a seamless one. After every phone call or meeting the first words out of our mouths were ‘I love Sonia.’ Sonia and her band played evocatively in our Cornish National Trust barn setting, got our guests on their feet and provided an elegant, sophisticated and mesmerising backdrop to our wedding. The icing on the cake: Sonia’s voice is spellbinding."

"Visually stunning, vocally note-perfect entertainment for all ages, their inspired rearrangements of vintage classics such as Mr Sandman, Jeepers Creepers and Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy have made them one of 2006’s most unusual new acts – and the quaintest!"

"We hired Redline Avenue Band at short notice for our wedding in the Hertfordshire countryside in September 2018. They put on nothing short of an absolutely fabulous performance in our festival tipi! They are wonderful musicians and singers, had a great set list to choose from and were extremely professional and accommodating with our last minute changes. During their interval they even offered to learn to play a new song so that our nieces could sing it to us as a surprise. The bands manager is very professional and we had great communication from start to finish. We had countless compliments on the band and can honestly say we have never been to a wedding before (and we've been to a lot) where the dance floor remained packed throughout the entire performance. Thanks for helping to make our big day so special! We highly recommend them for any event you may have planned."

"We are now back from our honeymoon spa trip so we are slowly getting round to messaging people, but we just wanted to say a MASSIVE THANK YOU to the both of you for being so amazing on our wedding day! Your music was absolutely incredible and created such a great and relaxed vibe at the drinks reception, wedding breakfast and evening reception! We've had so many compliments from our guests about how great you both were! I'll forever be recommending you guys! "

"I did organize a surprise birthday party for my husband. I chose B & The Hornets because they looked very stylish and I liked their music based on the videos & photos provided on the website. So like most of the visitors on this platform, I didn’t have a clue of what to expect. I was happily surprised to discover that the musicians were very friendly and enthusiastic. They were happy to tailor their playlist based on what my husband likes. The band played especially songs in Italian and Spanish at my request as well as their normal repertoire. We had a beautiful party, everyone loved the band, the kids and the grown up were all dancing. It was all beautiful vibes. So I strongly recommend B & The Hornets band for their professionalism and friendliness. "

"He was outstanding. Everyone was praising his singing. All the guests could sing a long . Every one enjoyed themselves, and was asking me where I found Jay. I should think that he would get a few more gigs from this party , as mum also enjoys being part of choir."

"We booked Laura and her pianist for my birthday celebrations. They were excellent. They arrived in good time to get set up and ready to perform on time. They were cheerful and all our guests enjoyed their performance. They allowed a family member to join them with some of their numbers, he is an experienced trumpet play, and he enjoyed working with them. We would recommend them without reservation. They helped to make my event truly memorable."
