Review Centre: Vintage Bands

"Well, where can I start! From initially stumbling upon Dr Jazz and realising that there was something rather special about their approach and unique sound, to the very first email and phone calls to discuss our plans for the day, all the way through to our Wedding day itself - Dr Jazz and company were brilliant. Helpful, friendly, and wonderfully entertaining, we could not have asked for anything more. The set itself was fantastic - we were blown away with how much of an impact they made, not only in terms of everyone feeling the urge to get up to dance (which was a slight worry for us before the day!), but also with their spot on interaction with the guests, and overall management and ownership of the evening. We really knew we'd made the right decision as soon as the first note was played – talk about creating a spectacle!! In terms of a front man Matthew is absolutely superb, and his supporting crew of brilliantly talented musicians helped make our day one to remember for both us and our guests. Thank you all so very much for everything. We know what it's like trying to find the 'right band', ourselves having trawled through many hundreds of sample tracks from other people and groups, and the worries that come with it regarding whether people will like it, whether it'll be well received etc. The best advice I can honestly give is that if you are sitting there reading this review, and you have enjoyed the sample tracks you've listened to, then please don't hesitate to book these guys. You will not regret it, and you and your guests will certainly never forget it. They were nothing short of marvellous. Once again we wanted to say thank you very much for everything - we really had a fantastic time, as did everyone else in attendance, and it is all thanks to you and your crew. You certainly made the evening, if not the day for us, and we are so pleased and lucky to have been able to book you to play for us. You were nothing short of brilliant, and we can't stop talking or thinking about how amazing you were (and nor can anyone else!) It was so lovely to meet you all in person. All the best for the future, and please rest assured that we'll be singing your praises for the years to come!"

"I booked Ma Bessie for a corporate summer event and they were brilliant, the music was spot on and their interaction and narrative with the crowd was superb. I had excellent feedback about Ma Bessie from the audience who absolutely loved the performance. Thank you so much, Julia Titus. I highly recommend and would book them again. "

"I have no idea where to begin with just how amazing The King Brasstards. We booked them for our wedding and they were just brilliant. They got people dancing from song one, they were super lovely with our guests and everyone raved about them. I was emailing with Gareth from the beginning who was so helpful. If you are looking for a band who will truly make your event then don't look any further. "

"Dynamite Swing… One of the most incredibly talented bands we've ever seen perform live. Every song draws in the listener with their energetic and animated performances. Gypsy Dynamite will blow your mind!"

"This long-standing UK jug band capture the knockabout sound of the best Memphis jug bands of the 20s and 30s extremely well in addition to turning their hand to melodic blues, vintage jazz, old timey music and hokum. It all makes for a very fine and fun releas."

"We booked The Backbeats for my grandmas surprise 80th party last week, and they were absolutely incredible. The whole band are so talented, professional and friendly. Martyn was a pleasure to work alongside when arranging plans. The guests loved the performance, and some said it was the best party that they have been to! One guest is wishing to book The Backbeats for their own party! Thank you so much to the Backbeats "

"Luke sang at our wedding last weekend and I just wanted to say thank you for the amazing job. His vocals were fantastic and he was more than happy to learn and sing our first dance song. He and his band Le Beat were spot on and we highly recommend them to anyone looking to hire a singer or band. Thanks again Luke, top job!"
