"Dr Jazz arrived at our wedding in good time and set up their stage area and equipment with no fuss. Looking keen and smart with their authentic outfits and array of instruments. Already I was impressed with the professionalism and appearance of the band, but little did I know just what I had booked for the evening. Matthew Hardy’s outfit, Dr Jazz, simply surpassed all our expectations. Never had I guessed we would receive such a wonderful, exciting, dynamic but most of all musically awesome series of sets. The accuracy and quality of the performances were second to none. Studio quality sound and execution, professionally managed without a hint of fuss or issue. The musicianship of the ensemble was outstanding. The set list was varied and of a consistently high standard. The arrangements were just perfect and the solos were fantastic. Matthew himself leads the band with confidence and skill. His stage presence tasteful and engaging. The clips available of the band are wonderful but even they cannot capture just how tight and well executed the ensemble’s live performance is. I cannot recommend this band highly enough to anyone considering them. They set an atmosphere at our wedding that was everything we had hoped and more, carrying the mood and wonderful day’s atmosphere from dinner into the evening. They are worth every dime. 10/10 would definitely book again."

Everyone has been saying how brilliant the band was last night and the photos today show that people really had a great time!! Your outfits were also perfectly fitting with our Roaring 20s theme and we literally couldn't have asked for more! Thank you so much once again and we would not hesitate to book you for events in the future!"

"The band has been reliable and full of energy, probably the loudest jazz band in London, and not just jazz but different styles were played in the night"

"I Just wanted to write to thank Five Star Swing for playing at our “1940's night”. You interpreted the mood of the event perfectly and helped maintain the atmosphere right to the end. Hopefully we’ll have the opportunity to work with you again in the future."

"We booked The Pharaoh's for a birthday party in a local restaurant and they were perfect. The vocals and acoustic guitar were a lovely backdrop as we were eating and then brilliant for dancing to. Leanne has a fabulous voice. The Pharaoh's were very professional and friendly, and the vibe was just what we were looking for. "

"It is hard to express how wonderful our evening was with The Cutting Edge Big Band. We held a Gatsby/1920s-themed dinner and dance for the University of Oxford Development & Alumni Engagement Office Christmas party at one of Oxford's many colleges and were lucky enough to have The Cutting Edge Big Band play for us after dinner. There really aren't enough superlatives to express how brilliant the band was and how much joy their performance brought to our evening. Their set list was perfect for the event, the vocalist(s) that joined them were out of this world and the energy and charisma of the band as a whole was fantastic. It was, by far, the highlight of the night for many and the performance added an extra layer of sparkle and glam to our event that made it go down in history as one of (if not THE) best Christmas party many of our department had ever attended - and some of my lovely colleagues have been with the University for over a decade! On top of the truly phenomenal music and atmosphere, their coordinator was a joy to work with: very clear and succinct regarding what they needed and incredibly willing to be as flexible as possible to ensure that they could play for us. On the night itself they were equally as flexible and even cut down their own break time when we ran late so that we didn't miss out on any music - not that I want to set any precedents for them, but it was quite extraordinary and truly appreciated given that the timekeeping issues were entirely of our own making. I would highly recommend them for any and all events and genuinely hope that I will have an excuse to work with them again one day in (the not-too-distant) future - or at the very least attend another performance in Oxford at some other lucky venue! Having them play for us was a wonderful experience from beginning to end. "

"I saw The Dapper Dynamos at The Alhambra on Saturday afternoon. Absolutely brilliant! So, very disappointed not to be able to see you yesterday. The Skiddaw was chockablock, with a huge queue waiting to get in too! Hope you’ll be back next year."

"Trip for Biscuits played at our wedding and I could not recommend them enough. We were looking for a particular style which was hard to find in Bristol but I am so glad we did not give up on our search and came across this band! Lots of guests have commented on how great the band were too and the dance floor was evidence they really added to the day. Thank you!"
