"Jo performed at our Ladies Night last year and went down a storm with our members and their partners. Superb voice, great choice of material and great rapport with the audience. Would not hesitate in recommending in the future. You will not be disappointed!"

"Jo has been my singing teacher for many years and I booked her to sing at my Mum's 80th Birthday party. Jo spent considerable time liaising with us to come up with the perfect set for the occasion and helping us to decide whether we wanted singing in the background, or as a performance. We opted for a performance and Jo really got the party going! Guests ranged in age from teenagers to those in their 90's and every single one of them either got up and danced or joined in with the singing. My Mum was simply over the moon and has some fabulous video and wonderful photos of all her friends thoroughly enjoying themselves - and memories that she will cherish forever. Jo is professional, reliable and is able to adapt to suit any occasion, but most of all she is fun - a real 'people person' - and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her either as an entertainer or singing teacher."

"First time I'd been to a Jazz concert. It was what I expected and more. An outside charity event at Gallery House near Marykirk in Aberdeenshire. It was a cold evening for June but the band kept us warm ? Hoping this event happens every year and they come back??"

"I run a venue which hosts parties and promotional events for the alcohol and beverages industry. Mozel Tov Cocktails played at our celebration of the end of Prohibition. They did a stomping set well suited the event, and even mixed in some live electro-swing which went down a storm with the clients. We liked them so much we booked them again a few months later for the Glasgow Art School Archetects graduation ball. If you like totally authentic gypsy jazz and swing as well as bit of klezmer this is your band. In a nutshell: fun, dedicated, authentic virtuosic professionals."

"Incredible band! We had the 8-piece play at our wedding recently and they absolutely made our day. The dance floor was completely packed from first dance to last and we've lost count of how many of our guests have raved to us about them since. They were all both super talented musicians and brilliant performers - the horn section wandering into the dance floor went down a storm each time they did it. Every song they played was a banger and there was something in their set for everyone. Mark is a lovely guy and was super responsive and professional throughout, constantly going above and beyond to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. On the day, everything from their side went exactly as planned and they took our delayed timings completely in their stride. We cannot recommend them highly enough!"

"Just wanted to say a huge thank you for performing at our wedding. You rocked. Everyone has complimented you and several asked for your details. The Present really made the evening reception. I hope you got enough to eat/drink too. I've just about got over the slow dance to robbie williams (haha) but there are some amazing photos from that particular part. My youngest cousin, who is now your biggest fan, definitely had a good time, I hope he hasn't been stalking you or anything wierd like that ... but he will at the very least never forget our wedding. Anther memorable part that was ultimately your responsibilty was the brides father swinging his jacket off to sex on fire! Classic! Anyway Sinead and I are so so grateful for your contribution to our day. Nice one!"

"Everything you did for our son's bar mitzvah was just spot on – the playlist was brilliantly thought out to please both his friends, and the rest of our family and friends, and the energy on stage was just electric! We all had such a fantastic evening and this was completely down to you and your fantastic musicians… thank you so much. We’ll be in touch for our daughters wedding next year!"

"One of the hidden treasures of London is the range of talent that exists on the folk and acoustic scene that rarely get the acclaim they deserve. Three London based bands that excel at performing Eastern European/Balkan Music are Szapora, Mukka and Beskydy, each of whom are worth looking out for. Nine strong Beskydy perform songs and tunes from across Eastern Europe and beyond, in fact looking at the sources on their cd listing is almost like a tour around that part of Europe, from Macedonia to Hungary via Galicia and Bulgaria and taking a detour through Slovakia. The bands name itself comes from the range of mountains that run through the centre of former Czechoslovakia which according to the band has heavily influenced their musical choices whilst they turn their hand to music from a range of sources (excellantly). The first track is a Macedonian song, Jovano, Jovanke (click here to hear the song) and the range of Joanna Fosters vocal skills are further displayed in the three Slovakian songs that make up track 4, from the slow Janosik to the more up beat cheery Anicka Dusicka and A Ja Taka Dzivocka although Foster and the band manage to intertwine the tunes with sufficient skill so the songs merge as one. Again Track 9 is a duet with Accordian player, Peter Murphy, joining Foster on the Macedonian song Iz Dolu, along with some damned fine fiddling. The range of Beskydys musical skills are illustrated well by the instrumental tracks ranging from the delightful Slovakian Waltzes (Track 5) to the slightly more manic Tropanka from Bulgaria (track 10) and onto the ordered upbeat and furious synthesis between sax, fiddle and accordian that is Tantz, Tantz Yiddelekh (a wonderful Galician Jewish tune), yet again garunteed to result in limb movement, a delightful fusion of fiddles and saxaphone, furiously creating a wonderful atmosphere one that demands a physical response. One very minor complaint is the sleeve of the CD, it would be nice (or do I just lead a very shallow empty life) to have some information/lyrics or even translations of the songs, something about the origins of the tracks. That said its more than possible for bands with large bank accounts to produce nice extensive sleeves but not so easy for bands whose talents lie in their music rather than some slick marketing agencies. It would be impossible to identify one part of this cd that could be said to stand out more than the rest. The band have produced an album that is thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish - the question that comes to the fore when listening to this is when is the follow up going to be available?"

"The 8 piece band were the perfect choice for our wedding party. Wonderful musicians, hugely talented, and combining that musicianship with a huge sense of fun. The great thing was that the band really cared about our evening and their role within it. They played all the best party music, with a great mix of styles that appealed to all tastes. The band got everyone up and dancing. A wonderful day, and the band were the extra special bit that made our wedding so memorable.I would definitely use the band again and would recommend them to anyone – they are amazing!"
