“Hi Martyn! You said that feedback is always helpful and as my friends and family haven't stopped going on about the band i thought you would all like to know! Simply Swing were recommended to me by one of my music teachers so I knew they would be good but we were still suprised at how great they were! They were very professional, played brilliantly and gave the reception a really buzzing atmosphere. Friends and family have not stopped raving about how good Simply Swing were. They really made the evening. Thanks for everything Inga”

Angela W booked Simply Swing for their Wedding at Mallory Court Hotel
“I'm just writing to say that we had a great day on our wedding on June 25th and the band did a marvellous job. They were very helpful before the day and on the night itself and gave a great performance. Many people danced the night away and really enjoyed the music. I'm glad that Sandra did use our piano as it's probably the best performance it's given for a long time too!! Thank you too for your help. We'd definitely recommend Alivenetwork and Simply Swing to others and hopefully we'll have another occasion to use both in the future.”
