"Just wanted to say thank you so much to you and the rest of the band for playing at our wedding. We absolutely loved the music! And I never imagined you’d get us all doing a conga line – absolutely fantastic! Our guests have mentioned just how much they enjoyed your music and even now 2 months on are still raving about it."

"We had Café Manouche round for NYE and see us into the new year. Wow, what an experience, they were even better than what we were hoping for. Before we knew it we had different dining tables dancing with other! We booked them in again straight away for an event we have coming up in Feb. Jazzy, upbeat and cool as hell. Keep it coming guys!

"Thank you for singing at our Ball on Saturday night! It was a pleasure to meet you and great to hear you sing so brilliantly to our (noisy!) audience. I hope you enjoyed the experience as much as they did, we had so many nice comments and compliments on the night and since then."

"We would just like to thank you very much for a brilliant evening of music and dancing at our wedding. We have had a lot of great feedback about how fun you were, you even made the ‘non-dancing’ people dance! We really enjoyed it, thank you very much."

"We had a fantastic joint 30th birthday party for 60 people and the Black Velvet Ceilidh Band did an amazing job of making the evening a huge success! Mike gave me a call a couple of weeks prior to the event to confirm all arrangements such as timings, location, numbers, and the experience of the party goers (very mixed - lots of complete beginners). Mike was really enthusiastic on the phone and I felt very confident all was going to go well. At the beginning of the evening, we were pretty disorganized and neither James or I were there to meet the band on arrival, but our friend saw them into the venue and they were very flexible and happy to go with the flow and got set up really quickly. The whole band were keen to help and happily agreed to start the ceilidh a little later than planned, as well as letting me use the mic to make announcements! The 2 x 1 hour sets of ceilidh dancing were amazing and both the calling and music were fantastic - our guests absolutely loved every moment of it and have all said how much they enjoyed the music and dancing. Thank you very much to the whole band for an excellent evening, we would recommend you to anyone! "

"Cafe Manouche were awesome - we loved everything, from the acoustic sets, to the entrance music, to the 5-piece full set and the playlist thereafter. Natalia and Matt were also mega patient as timings inevitably slipped on the day. Our guests all agreed too - you filled the venue with the perfect atmosphere, and helped create a magical day for us! Highly, highly recommended! Thank you thank you thank you!"

"The band were super professional organising everything, replying to any questions incredibly quickly and making sure it was a stress free experience. We'd certainly recommend The Speakeasy Jazz Band for anyone seeking the full vintage experience."

"I just wanted to say such a huge thank you for the amazing performance that you gave. You were so friendly and willing to help in any way that any nervousness about getting up to dance was immediately dismissed. I was extremely apprehensive prior to the night about how the dancing would go down, especially with my two left feet! However my worrying was in vain, what a fantastic night of dancing it was, so inclusive that any and all can get up and get involved, aged 5 or 105. You need no experience or talent, just listen to the brilliant calling, it’s all simple moves but when it comes together with all your friends and family on the night, prepare to be amazed. I can not thank the band enough for making our Wedding such a fantastic night, I have never seen so many people thoroughly enjoying themselves all at once. I can sincerely recommend the Black Velvet Band for any social occasion, your expectations will be exceeded."

"We heard Full Beans perform at Oxjam in late 2015 and decided on the spot that we wanted them at our wedding reception. Their performance on the day was just perfect with a combination of classic gypsy jazz tunes and innovative arrangements of old classics. They were really organised and were spot on with communicating with us about the big day putting our minds at ease. We could not recommend these guys (and gals) enough!"
