"I would like to say that I feel privileged to have had Melisma performing at our retirement party. Everything about Melisma Jazz band was wonderful, they all looked very smart and professional and their performance was absolutley fantastic. Many asked where I had found them and others just thought I knew Sarah-Jane personally as she was so friendly! I cannot thank Melisma Jazz enough for making our event such a wounderful success, we will have lovely memories of the afternoon which seemed to end too soon - I just wanted them to play on and on! Thank you all so very, very much."

"The music was marvellous, just my kind of evocative tunes (memories of dancing round the kitchen with Grandpa). Which I think summarises how lovely everyone found the music! Thank you very much for coming. You did a brilliant job."

"You guys played a blinder... and played sets in just the right way in the circumstances, so a huge thanks. There were a lot of musical people at the event, and you and Rose who did the food shared the majority of the plaudits for what you did. Cheers again, and hope to see a bit more of your music being performed sometime. All the very best, Harry."

"When I feel I want to dream I play Santana's Salvador and Black Magic Woman, when I feel I want to dance and be happy then I play Dynamite Swing’s album. It continues to bring me pleasure."

"We hired the band for our company Christmas party. Excellent music and atmosphere, the band arrived on time and installed everything quickly whilst keeping things tidy. They also took song requests from some of us, which we loved! The style is very upbeat and happy, contagious happiness! do not hesitate to go ahead with caravan circus!"

"Booked these guys for my wife's 60th birthday and we weren't disappointed. A great evening, everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves - and a very patient caller (given none of us knew what to do!!) "

"Jan and the band were absolutely fantastic. The booking process was super easy and Jan was really accommodating, even with the film theme of our party! We had lots of compliments from our guests and the band was a brilliant addition to our party. Heartily recommend!"

"A big thanks to Mike and the rest of the band for a brilliant evening. Everyone has said how much they thoroughly enjoyed it. A special thank you to Alan, the dance caller. He did a great job - quite a comedian! Finally a big thanks to the band for welcoming our fiddle-playing friend Richard into their ranks for the evening. He said he had a fantastic time. What a great party band the guys make! I'm very happy to recommend them to anyone having a bash. "

"The band set up according to the plan that had been agreed and once the music got underway, the dance floor was packed for the whole night. Some of our guests had never been to this type of evening before and all we had back was extremely positive comments about the band and of the whole evening, which was to celebrate our daughter’s 30th Birthday. The band was an integral part of the night and made the night go with a swing. Well worth the 5***** GEOFF WARNER"

"Thank you so, so much for playing at our wedding. It was such a fantastic day and everybody (including my "rather difficult to please at times" in-laws) has said how brilliant you were and how much you added to the day! In fact, I have passed on your details to a friend who attended!"

"We booked the Black Velvet Band Gypsy Duo (accordion and fiddle) to play at our wedding celebration garden party in August. Mike and Jase played exactly the music we wanted, a lovely mix of traditional, modern, jazz, Irish and were happy to play requests. We live on a farm and when the duo started up, all our cows came running up the field and stayed close to enjoy the lovely sounds coming from the garden. I have to say, the two were perfect for our garden party and the sound of the fiddle and accordion ringing out into the evening was absolutely lovely and was thoroughly enjoyed by our guests whose ages ranged from six to ninety! Mike and Jase are lovely, affable chaps and we should have no hesitation in booking them again if we have another “do”! I highly recommend them. "
