Testimonials and reviews

"Huge thanks to the band who played at our Gatsby party - they were fantastic, very professional, and excellent value for money. Everyone said they were the icing on the cake; Sophie's voice was stunning, and the timing was excellent. So so pleased with our choice - we would definitely book them again, and have no hesitation recommending them.”
Private party, Southend-on-Sea, Essex

"We have these guys come play for us on a regular basis as they are always a hit with our customers, and are able to provide just the right kind of sound for our venue.”
Owner, Winebar, cocktail night residency, London

“We had this excellent band play for us in the French restaurant whilst guests ate dinner and they provided just the right ambience we were looking for. We will certainly look into having them perform for us again in the future.”

“Once again thanks for your hard work, you guys sounded as good as, if not better than Post Modern Jukebox!”
Hunks in Trunks Cabaret Show, Proud Cabaret, London

“As light, background jazz, the band were perfect for our event as we sailed down the Thames from Greenwich to Westminster. The band members were also exactly how we hoped - smart and professional in everything they did from start to finish.”
