“Joanna, myself and all of our guests thoroughly enjoyed the music provided by the Silk Street 2-piece during our wedding and drinks reception. The booking process was simple and your rapid response to any email queries was always reassuring. The musicians were very professional and played an entirely appropriate selection of tunes – they really helped to create a wonderful atmosphere in both the ceremony and the drinks reception. I would have no hesitation in recommending you to friends and will certainly consider booking with you again for any future events”

“A quick e-mail to say a big thanks to you and the other guys in the band for playing for us yesterday.  I guess it can’t be easy playing at a funeral but you guys were brilliant – respectful for the occasion and excellent music! Many of my guests commented how good you were and I will recommend you to anyone who asks. Thanks again and good luck for the future!”

“Many thanks for helping us with one of our most successful parties in recent years to which the Silk Street Hot Quartet contributed in no small part. The band looked great and the music was ideal for the situation – lively without being overpowering. We look forward to you entertaining us on future occasions”
Philip Cook, Marketing Manager, St. Anthony’s Hospital.

“Thank you for performing such a great set at our wedding…One of my most vivid memories is Edward and I arriving at our reception and before walking in we took 5 mins to stand and listen out of sight to the jazz. It was such a great feeling to hear the music and the chatter of all our guests. Everyone I have spoken to since has been incredibly complimentary about the band. You looked the part and you really did bring a smile to people’s faces and ensure that the reception kicked off in style. The atmosphere created was such that it made everyone feel so relaxed and there was no awkward chit chat – people were straight in there on the Pimms and gossiping away! If anyone is ever looking for a jazz band, I will be sure to recommend you”
Jennifer Codling

“Please pass on our thanks to all the muscians who came to our reception at the Devonport on 30th December. We really enjoyed the pianist through the meal and many of our guests on the day and since have said how wonderful the five piece band was”

James Coveyduck, CCT Integrated Systems, London

“Thank you for performing so well at my wife’s ‘big birthday party’ recently, your excellent music added a great deal to the occasion. It was a long evening and for you to play so many sets with such untiring enthusiasm was itself very impressive. In brief we couldn’t have asked for anything better, and would recommend you to anyone”
