Review Centre: Swing Bands

"Hired a jazz trio with Dan for my wedding - which was themed around an outdoor garden party. Dan was fantastic at keeping in touch and booking couldn't have been easier. The guys were there and ready for when they said they would be, and they were absolutely brilliant! Provided the perfect backdrop to our event, excellent musicians too. I would have no hesitation in recommending these guys, and should I have any events in future that would suit some smooth jazz then these guys would be top of the list! "

"The Jazz center provided the musical accompaniment at the company party of Moree Gelderblom Advocaten. The contact beforehand was very pleasant and the musical interpretation of the evening was exactly as we had imagined in advance. Thank you!"

"Just wanted to say a big thank you to you and the rest of the band for helping to make my 60th party such a special occasion. You were fantastic and everyone was asking where I had found you and how good you were. Maybe we’ll do it all again when I’m 70."

"I met them during a working evening, it was love at the first sight. Their music were the jewel in the crown of our wedding, very engaging. Their style is absolutely refined and elegant, they are great artists and great persons. Passion, elegance and cure can sum up this wonderful derfoul band :). "

"Peter Duncan's band, Green Street Jazz Trio plays a great mix of jazz standards, funk, blues and contemporary numbers with a cool laid back vibe and plenty of great solos. The interaction between the guitar and bass guitar is particularly strong, and their guests add an engaging extra dimension. Sarah Chaplin, Editor, 'Jazz in London'. "

"Hi Martin, We just wanted to say a huge thank you for your wonderful singing on our wedding day. You did an amazing job and are very talented at what you do. We are so glad we chose you for our wedding as everyone of all ages was up dancing and having a great time!

Thank you so much for making our day so special! And a massive thank you to Sonya for recommending you! All the best Rebecca & Gavin (Dublin)"

"Such a variety of music. The most beautiful version of Pachelbel's Canon (specially requested) to walk down the aisle to, a song so close to my heart. And then Disney classics. Outstanding musicians. I cannot recommend enough. You made our day even more magical. Thank you "

"I wanted a swing/jazz band for my wedding, and oh boy, did they deliver! They were swinging, and lively; their repertoire was quite expansive. They reached out to ask if I had any specific songs and then added additional pieces that suited the style I wanted. We contracted them for both the ceremony and the reception, we had a 3 piece band for the ceremony (piano, bass, and sax) They showed up early and set up with no extra help needed, played some gentle jazz music until the ceremony began, and even added in a drummer for no extra charge. I flip-flopped on the song I wanted to walk down the aisle to until almost the very last moment, and they were incredibly understanding and flexible. For the ceremony, we requested a 7 piece band so it could be boisterous and fun. There was almost no time that the dance floor was empty from the moment they began playing, even though the music they played was a sort of old-school jazz that few people know how to properly dance to. They played so well and brought such an element of joy and fun, that all our guests felt comfortable enough to dance all night. We learned how to swing dance for our first dance (Louis Armstrong, 'Bout Time), and the band played it to perfection (even if we didn't dance it perfectly LOL). This moment is one I will treasure forever, it was exactly as I had wanted it to be. For the rest of the night, they played off a setlist of a few songs I gave them and filled in the rest with their own recommendations. The singer has the most beautiful voice, all the band members play perfectly, I felt like I was in a 1920s jazz bar which was exactly what I had wanted. We had guests approach us all throughout the night, and even now to ask who the band was and to congratulate us on such a fun event. If you want a band that can swing, rock, and any other musical verb you like, this is the band you want. They were so communicative, helpful, and perfectly able to understand my vision. To the Orignal Moonlighters: thank you for making my wedding as special as it was."

"(With Sarah-Jane singing) What an excellent evening ! The guests had a fab time. I am enjoying taking all the credit for the choice of band. The lads and yourself fitted in perfectly The music was excellent and very much enjoyed by all. But even better the lads and yourself are as charming as you are talented. Thank you for indulging my demands for the mic and flexible timings I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending you to other events organisers and you can quote me on that. So..a big thankyou for agreeing at short notice and being such a professional, charming and talented band"

"Trio giovane ma dal potenziale elevato, inoltre sebbene il video sia ben fatto, dal vivo.....vi lascio immaginare Consigliatissimo per locali che vogliono proporre dinner&music e tante altre situazioni (wedding e altro)"
