"Sometimes it all just falls into place. The setting, the situation, the scene, the tone -- everything is going your way. That describes last night for me. And at the heart of this mid-week Xanadu was the Rick Holland Uptown Orchestra, a modest, brass-centric outfit led by the trumpet-blowing Holland that swung with equal parts effervescence and laid-back cool at Lovin Cup. And come to find out, five of his Hollands regular guys were sidelined, and the holes on the bandstand were plugged with subs --- hired music muscle like Po’ Boy Erik Jacobs on the slide trombone. By the time the Orchestra heaped on a helping of Count Basie, there was nowhere else I wanted to be. I dragged my mom out in the cold for this show and she was thrilled when they stomped on the Savoy. Holland led the affair with a relaxed air, coaxing more than conducting under his porkpie lid. He went around the bandstand numerous times so every cat there got his fair shake, including pianist extraordinaire Bill Dobbins. This is one sweet band, yes, yes. Frank De Blase, Roch City News "

"I saw Almaz at the Nantwich Food Festival and was incredibly impressed with the vocals and general musicianship. Loved the sound of the old Gibson guitar, such a sweet sound, never managed to get that sound out of any of mine. A great performance."

"We hired Good Co for our 1920's themed holiday party. They were extremely flexible and accommodating, especially when we asked if they would follow our leadership around the office as they gathered people for the party. Awesome talent, great at judging sound vs space. Our office is pretty echo-y and loud, but they found the right balance immediately. Definitely keeping on the books for next time!"

"Ruby sang yesterday at my nans 90th Birthday party. What can I say. Absolutely amazing I would highly recommend her. Her voice is beautiful and she sang all my nans favourites as requested. Such a lovely friendly lady who made the party a huge success. "

"Cannot rate Camino Sonoro highly enough!! Miguel was fantastic to deal with in email correspondence throughout the enquiry procedure and leading up to the event. On the night all of the band members arrived promptly and professionally, with a warm smile and ready to perform! After a quick outfit change and make up touch up, the band tuned their instruments and launched into their first set! Their sound was flawless and each member perfectly complimented the others sound. During the set (in-between songs), I made a couple of adjustments to suit the clients requirements and the band took my requests all onboard and the rest of the sets followed seamlessly. I have already recommended them to a colleague and they are booked in for next Thursday! Definitely will be hiring Camino Sonoro again!! Laura Events Manager, London"

"USA Jazz Club Antwerp: We waren opzoek naar een stijlvolle band die toch een ‘feestelijke’ sfeer kan neerzetten, zo kwamen we bij FÊTE LAWEIT terecht. De eerlijke filmpjes die we vonden gaven ons de indruk dat dit een verzorgd project is. Leuke originele arrangementen, verzorgde uitvoering, enthousiasme op het podium en afwissellend repertoire met enkele ‘niet alledaagse’ stukken. Een bisnummer was onvermijdelijk om dit feestelijk concert af te sluiten. "

"Thank you Fleur, we enjoyed your performance very much. I was thinking it was too short for me personally :) I would love you playing all evening honestly or at least twice the time :)"

"Fleur and her fellow musician Hugh played a very generous hour and a half of music over two sessions, socialising in between and with the other guests. Their music is great and we got thanks and much positive feedback from Our friends. Generally Fleur performs jazz standards and blues, billie Holiday-Influence, , well punctuated with Latin American and bossa nova sounds from the charts, past and present. Her guitarist Hugh accompanies to a very high professional standard and treats the audience to the occasional virtuoso solo. Fully, highly recommended."
