"Hi, we just wanted to say how AMAZING you all were on Saturday evening. You were all fantastic and exactly what we wanted. A lot of guests said you were the one of the best swing bands they have heard. We have also passed your details on to quite a few couples who have weddings coming up. Thank you so much again."

Great timing for our first dance. You totally rocked (and jazzed)! Big thanks" Sergei & Elisa Wedding Reception, Le Manoir aux Quat' Saisons, Oxfordshire
