"We booked Iris for a 70th birthday brunch in a hotel. Iris was easy to deal with, making sure we agreed in advance what we wanted and how it would all work, including timings that didn't totally match the pre-set system options. Nothing was too much trouble and on the day Iris arrived in plenty of time, gave a great performance, was very pleasant and personable and delivery was spot on for the occasion, creating an excellent atmosphere in the room. We have no hesitation in recommending Iris for anyone else's event and would be more than happy to book her again in the future."

"The singer, Amy, confided to the audience at one point that it was her prerogative to steer the set at her whim, keeping the rest of the band on their toes. And so they moved from bossanova to a favourite ballad and back again via bluesy tunes and toe tapping swing. This she did with seemingly effortless style, and her colleagues were more than up to the challenge. Her voice is beautiful, expressive, powerful. She can deliver heartbreak in like three notes. This quartet of talented professionals works great together. I think the whole audience left with massive grins on their faces."

"Sara played with her gypsy jazz quintet at our award ceremony & the band was perfect! From playing background during the reception creating a wonderful atmosphere, to supplying the music between awards, choosing the perfect repertoire & level of interaction. Very professional & lovely to work with. "

"Dearest Sarah- Jane and the boys Thank you so much for playing at our wedding. It was perfect. Everyone has been talking about it. Honestly, it was so hot but was perfect because it turned the room into a ‘Speakeasy’. It was brilliant and people were chatting away and just having the best time. Apart from my little nieces who loved dancing with you all. It really was the best day and I hope you all got back safely and had a great time. Thank you."

Everyone really loved them and wished they could have stayed for longer! What a great mix of old vs. new Gatsby and great singer and musicians would definitely recommend them!"

"These guys blew us away. They were ridiculously good, they let our friend sing a song, they were just seamless and endlessly talented. We would recommend these guys to anyone who wants real finger-clicking music that creates a wonderful atmosphere and pours magic into your big night. These guys blew us away. Seriously, they were amazing. We could not have loved Dai and the guys more."

"Thanks again for playing at our wedding! Was such an amazing night. All of the guests were so happy with the music and said you guys were awesome! It was such great music to dance to! Also thanks for the way you handled the drunk man wanting to sing Frank Sinatra situation haha! You handled it very well and professionally. And thanks for letting my Dad join in and sing with you guys. We had a blast and wish we could do it all again! :) "

"Just a note to say a HUGE thank you for the most wonderful set you played at my 50th. The band and the song choices were simply brilliant and totally aligned to the Gatsby theme, but I wanted to particularly call out your AMAZING voice and performance. So many people told me how impressed they were… "

"Rachel sang at our wedding reception and we found her to be very entertaining and pleasing to listen to. She comes across as being very confident and her quality of singing is exceptional. Rachel is highly recommended as a performer. She is definitely a five star entertainer. "

"Thank you [and the band] so much for making our Family Party such a success on Saturday night. Everyone was thrilled with the swing music - and to have such a range of instruments and two fantastic singers was the tops. [I have to say the clarinet really adds to the bands sound - it is terrific]. I mentioned to a few people that we had wondered if more 'pop' music with a DJ and recorded music would have been preferred at the party. The unanimous answer was that nothing beats live music and your style of swing music was irresistible at getting everyone [from 4 to 84] dancing. Your band really made our party the success it was - very many thanks. With all good wishes"
