"We booked Stéphanie and Olly to play some music for my 30th birthday, an Italian and 20’s themed night in a large house. They were extremely professional and friendly and tailored the music to fit in with the evening. Everyone though they were wonderful and really helped make the night extra special. I think my favourite part of the whole weekend was when everyone was up dancing to Stéphanie and Olly’s music. Would certainly recommend! Thank you Stephanie and Olly ! "

"Fleur sang a beautiful set for our wedding in August. She sang a gorgeous mix of dance numbers and slower romantic ones, and made our reception very special. She was a delight to have there with us and tailored her set to include our requests as well. I'm so glad we booked Fleur and can't recommend her enough for any occasion - she is relaxed, elegant and has such a beautiful voice, it set such a lovely tone for our evening. Thank you, Fleur!! "

"We just wanted to say a massive thanks to the Band for playing at our Great Gatsby Party on Friday last week! They were amazing! Everyone really loved them and wished they could have stayed for longer! What a great mix of old vs. new Gatsby and great singer and musicians would definitely recommend them!"

"Saxophones, a rhythm section and vocals, swinging like crazy – that’s the aptly named FIVE STAR SWING ! As saxophone section in any band, they would take some beating. Beautiful tones and well-rehearsed by their leader, Chris Smith (Jnr), who has the singular talent of playing the trumpet with his right hand and the piano with his left at one and the same time ! He also happens to be a very experienced music writer having learnt his trade with the National Youth Jazz Orchestra and Glenn Miller’s Brother, Herb. Add to the fact that he can also well handle a vocal, as can his wife, lead alto Simone Smith and tenor man Stephen Davies, who’s clarinet playing on “Sing, Sing, Sing” was superb – and it will give you some idea of the breadth of talent in this line-up. This is a band crying out to be danced to and it wasn’t long before the jivers took to the dance floor. Five Star Swing –a “must” for every dance club in the country."

"Many thanks Derek - you were a huge hit, as I’m sure you hear all the time. We’ve received so many compliments and comments about how expertly you played, how joyful the music was to listen to and from a booker’s point of view you were a dream to work with. I shall be in contact again as we'd love to have you back…"

"What a spectacular service! From the cocktail band, with Jazz and bossa nova, where they had very good musicians and an incredible voice, to the DJ who did everything we asked of him, everything was incredible!"
