"We booked Barrel House Vipers for a birthday party as we had a theme of glamourous and wanted music that would fit that theme. They were perfect and everyone kept asking us who they were! I expect we'll see them again soon as i've no doubts they'll be booked for other events by our friends now! They were brilliant musicians, polite and friendly and were very professional, setting up and packing down quickly and respectfully for what was going on during the party. "

"I saw The Polka Dot Peaches at a 1940s festival in the summer… Wow! The girls looked and sounded incredible, their dance routines and varied set list was just magnificent. I will be checking to see their next public performance and travel to see them again! Highly recommended for any event. "

"I would like to thank you on behalf of Jenny and I for your absolutely wonderful performance at our wedding on Saturday! It is something that we will never forget and many of our guests were completely taken away by how great you were, there were a lot of tears and emotion during the songs, great choices by the way! The children adored the Frozen section. Also, do you have a Facebook page for us to "like"? I know a lot of the guests are interested in your work and would like to follow your career! If there's any way we can help you out with feedback or spreading the word, just let us know! Just thank you so much, that will forever be special to Jenny and I. "

"Lauren sings with poise, swing, impeccable time and recognises humour and irony in a lyric... She is the natural successor to Blossom Dearie, Anita O'Day, Etta Jones, Ella and Carmen... and is the best export from Canada since Diana Krall, Joni Mitchell and pure mountain air."

"Dear Jess, Thank you on behalf of the whole Unwin Family for everything you did to make Olivia’s 21st Birthday Party a success. We have had so many compliments about the music and the band. You managed to get 3 generations up and dancing, all loving it. Thank you for lending us your mic for speeches, for David & Alice’s singing and for Grace and for your patience in helping us to get everything working smoothly. We hope you had fun playing The Emirates Stadium- it was certainly the most fun I’ve had there this season! Wishing you and the band great success. Best wishes, Diana "

"Thank you so much for the performance yesterday! It was wonderful and all the guests enjoyed it thoroughly, young and old alike. We also really appreciate the last-minute decision to play the Jewish klezmer music. This was far far better than using a recording and you guys did it perfectly. Thank you again! You were a vital part of a wonderful evening. "
