"Thank you so much for your assistance with booking Johnny Barcelona & The Swing Lovers for our event on Friday at The Vividora Hotel. I have been inundated with messages about how amazing the party was, especially as we were so unsure if people would get up and dance, it was an incredible atmosphere and the dance floor was full all night!"
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"Johnny Barcelona & The Swing Lovers were absolutely fantastic and were so accommodating with my request to accompany the song as I walked down the aisle in addition to the brilliant set they did during the reception drinks at our wedding. It was exactly what we’d hoped for and really created an atmosphere for our guests during drinks!"
