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

"We all know the Vera Lynn favourites from the Wartime era, but this inventive, funny and playful duet takes the music of the 40s and a bit beyond to a new level, including numbers which I'd forgotten about, but loved. They are a perfect harmonic duet, with voices which cover the full range, each bringing their own complimentary personalities to the songs. And what a variety of songs there are! From the tear jerking wartime hits, to the fun and frivolity that also comes with that era: 'I like coffee, I like tea' from the Ink Spots. They don't make life easy for themselves! Some of the lyrics are real tongue twisters, but they bring polish and verve to what they do. Their humour between numbers keeps the whole evening in the Forties 'vibe', and their close harmony gives the Andrews Sisters a run for their money. I'm a child of the 60s, but really enjoyed the evening. If you love close harmony of the era, nostalgia and playful fun you will love this show."

"The Band played at the reception for our daughter's wedding in the unusual setting of Boggle Hole Youth Hostel - well done for making it down the hill! They were perfect for the occasion, with a great choice of lively and well-known tunes, and never dominated the proceedings by being too loud. They are all extremely talented musicians. The vast majority of the wedding party are singers and performers, so are hard to impress, but everyone enjoyed the music and commented on the lovely atmosphere the band created. Very highly recommended to help your event go with a swing! Thank you."

"What can I say? The band were incredible! Really easy to deal with before the day, and really made our evening celebrations special on the day itself. They read the crowd perfectly, and so many people were commenting on how much fun they were having. I'd book them again in a heartbeat!"

"It was a perfectly magical evening! The jazz quartet added the sophistication and Gatsby feel that was exactly what we hoped for! The music was relaxed and yet very danceable. The band couldn't have been easier to communicate with, they replied promptly, were enthusiastic to learn more about our specifications and delivered exactly what we wanted. Thank you so much The River Jazz Quartet!"

"Hi Jessica! I’m reaching out to you after the big day… I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for making our wedding reception so special and warm. You were absolutely incredible, everyone said so. And a special thank-you from me for getting me to dance and finally relax by playing Paolo Conte… truly an unforgettable moment. ❤️"

"Sorry for the late contact but we took advantage of a few days away ourselves after the excitement of the wedding. I just wanted to say that Francesca was an absolute hit at the wedding. She was brilliant. She made it a very personal performance, mingling with the guests who were almost all on the dance floor all night. Francesca is indeed a very individual performer with massive career opportunities ahead of her. Please pass on our sincere thanks and gratitude to her. "

"We had The Pharaoh's sing at our wedding reception in the garden, they were AMAZING. We had loads of great comments and other friends asking for her contact details. We even requested various songs that she didn't do, which were special to us and really made the day. Got to say "you've got the love " was just bloody brilliant.."

"The Polka Dot Peaches provided a wonderful Evening's Entertainment for our Jubilee Event, and were the highlight of the weekend in the Village. Their performance was enjoyed by all, and we hope to invite them back soon."

"We booked Oriana and The Charmers for our wedding in August 2018, held at the Brooklands Museum in Surrey. Having found them via this site, Oriana was a delight to deal with whilst making the necessary arrangements and answering our questions promptly. Our family and friends continue commenting how good she and they were, with their style perfectly suiting the mood of our wedding. Their set-list was extensive, and they even learned the song for our first dance. Very happy to recommend Oriana and The Charmers."

"We hired The very popular Polka Dot Peaches for an event in June. They were amazing and were terrific with the little girls afterwards in taking some time to allow for photos to be taken. All three are not only professional but very easy to get along with. We would certainly book them again."
