Booked for Wedding

What a great night, with key numbers that had the crowd singing and dancing all night long. A wide variety of music so the young and the old were amused. African classics to Some queen and rap. Great value for money and a light system that reached out to our space wonderfully

Booked for Birthday party

These guys were absolutely fantastic. They were organised, helpful, provided their own AV equipment, and were very flexible amongst many changing plans And the music was phenomenal. They were so good at reading the room and the tone of each part of the event. They had everyone up dancing! Amazing, definitely my swing/jazz band of choice for any future events. 😁😁
