Ken Hansen, Birthday Party Event, Buckinghamshire
Everyone at the event I talked to were very complimentary about Jonathon and the musicians that make up the The Street Swing Band. The guys were easy to work with and fitted in well with our somewhat flexible format. I would be very pleased to book them agin in the future.

Martin Jeffs, Birthday Party Event, Oxfordshire
Tracey, I just wanted to let you know how much we appreciated the way Warble handled the whole booking process which was quick, easy and very professionally-run from the start. The evening was a resounding success and the band gave a superb performance which proved to be the icing on the cake for my Wife's 50th birthday celebrations which spread over the weekend. I will definitely be recommending Warble to all our family and friends in the future! With grateful thanks.

Tanya Whelan, Wedding, The Spa Hotel, Tunbridge Wells
Thanks Matt, We (and everyone at the wedding) loved The Street Swing Band, they looked and sounded great. I didn’t actually get to speak to them which was such a shame as I was rushing around have pictures done before we sat down to Wedding breakfast. I will send a thank you card and please pass on my thanks to the band, I hope they were provided with drinks and everything they needed at the venue too. There music was great, it all sounds and looks good on wedding dvd I would definitely recommend the band to people in future. Thanks for all your help, I will keep your details for future entertainment needs.

Sandra and David, Hertfordshire
The Street Swing Band was absolutely fantastic, I've never heard such a group of talented guys play music with such enthusiasm and energy. Your background ballads over dinner set the mood and when the guests wanted to dance you simply turned up the tempo. Many of my friends asked where we found you, so expect plenty more bookings.

Sandra
This 2-piece jazz band were professional, friendly and provided better music than we could have hoped for, thank you for making the day so perfect and pass my regards on to the musicians.

Charlotte (Bride)
All I can say is thank you so much for a fantastic performance, the jazz quartet really helped the day go well and everybody commented on the music being fantastic. I will be recommending you to everyone I know so you may get some strange phone calls!
