Kate O'C
"We booked Kate for our wedding ceremony last summer and it was one of the best wedding decisions we made! We had a small ceremony and a larger hotel reception and I was sad thinking that most of our wedding party wouldn't get the chance to hear Kate sing as they weren't at the ceremony. So I booked her for the meal too! Her voice is so perfect for both settings and blended well with the harpist that we had booked too. I am a singer myself and was quite picky about the singing voice I wanted and the minute I heard Kate's voice I was sold. She was so professional to work with too. She was the talk of the wedding. 5 stars from us. ⭐"

Silk Street Jazz
"Dear Jonathan, I wanted to put pen to paper to thank you and the band for an absolutely splendid performance last Saturday. The three players, whose names – I am ashamed to admit – escape me (one tends to drink a little on ones’ 50th) were fantastic. Smiling, easy going and accommodating yet thoroughly professional, they played superbly and contributed hugely to the success of the party. It was an absolute pleasure to have them around and their 1st class playing was enjoyed by all. I cannot wait to have them back another time. Merci beaucoup"

Whispering Notes - Jazz & Bossa
"Last night, Americana Restaurant was transformed into a world of smooth grooves and swooning rhythms as the incredible Whispering Notes band took the stage. This talented jazz and bossa nova trio weaved their magic, captivating the audience with their effortless musicianship and undeniable cool.
From the opening notes, it was clear that Whispering Notes wasn't just playing music, they were creating an experience.
Their setlist was a delightful blend of classic jazz standards and infectious bossa nova tunes. Whether they were swinging through a Cole Porter number or serenading us with a sultry João Gilberto song, they imbued each piece with their own unique energy and personality. The chemistry between the musicians was palpable, with each solo building upon the last, creating moments of pure sonic brilliance.
What truly elevated the performance was the band's ability to connect with the audience. They exuded a genuine joy and passion for the music that was infectious. There were moments of playful banter between songs, and their smiles spoke volumes about their love for performing.
By the end of the evening, the entire restaurant was swaying to the rhythm, lost in a world of smooth melodies and captivating rhythms. Whispering Notes's performance at Americana Restaurant was a masterclass in musicianship, a testament to the power of music to connect and uplift, and an experience that will stay with me for a long time to come.
Highly recommended! If you're looking for an evening of sophisticated sounds and timeless classics, be sure to catch Whispering Notes when they next grace a London stage. You won't be disappointed."

Swing Mode Vintagé
"Swing Mode Vintage absolutely made our day: they were absolutely the perfect evening entertainment for our wedding! The music was really really cool, they had people up and dancing and just really brought a great atmosphere with them. It was fantastic.
The band were all really kind and well organised; there was zero stress & zero faff. They got everything set up in good time including background music between the two sets.
They took a special request for our first dance and it was really really wonderful.
Overall we were just thrilled with the music: it was really really cool stuff - modern and funky, but most important just great fun!"

Bourbon St. Stompers
"We hired the Bourbon Street Stompers through Last Minute Musicians for a birthday party and they were fantastic. They were professional and friendly, both before the event and during and had people dancing from the first song to the last. The event wouldn't have been the same without them -- big thanks to James and the group."
