James was always prompt when responding to queries, he was incredibly professional throughout and arranged a fabulous set for us that kept the whole room dancing until late into the night. They are a wonderful band and I would recommend them without hesitation. Truly an amazing find, James's voice is superb!"

"From the moment we were introduced, the level of service was great and so accommodating, it was a complete pleasure to work with James and his fellow band members. The evening started with some background music suited to the atmosphere of guests arriving and the speeches, slowly picking up tempo with a session at the end for requests, it was superb. There were lots of comments throughout the evening which made it all the more special, certainly a group we would recommend and would have no hesitation to invite back for future events."

"They are so kind and their performance was out of this world. I asked them to come to Venice wearing tuxedos. Although it was high water, they walked across the city with their shoes off and with water up to their knees to make it to our wedding. We could certainly count on them. Thank you for being so amazing!!!!"
