It was just amazing

booked 1940s Swing n Celebrate for their event June 2024

“I would like to thank you and the band so much for the entertainment last night. The choice of songs was just absolutely perfect for the occasion and we couldn't have had any better. I have had so many positive compliments about the band both last night and in messages this morning - it was just amazing. One thing is for certain, if Hilda and Richard were there, they would have absolutely loved it and I'd like to think they were with us in spirit. The band made the evening completely joyous and that is the lasting memory I will have of my wonderful parents in law. Please pass my thanks and gratitude to the rest of the band - well done. If we ever need a band for a similar occasion in the future, we'll be sure to contact you.”

“Arrived on time, set up without any problems and appeared to have everything under control. Definitely took the stress out of it for me! Chris and all band members were extremely polite, professional and extremely friendly!”


One of the highlights of the wedding.

“We just wanted to say thank you so much for your help in making our wedding on Good Friday such a great day. I'm sorry to have only spoken to you fleetingly but can safely say your sets were one of (if not the) highlights of the wedding. A complete dance floor filler and we had so many comments about how much people enjoyed your music. If you ever need any recommendations from 'real life couples' just give me a shout and I'd be happy to help. Many thanks and best wishes to you and the rest of the team.”

“A good sized and appreciative audience at Fleetwood's Marine Hall were well entertained by a band that certainly lived up to its name of Prestige Swing. Led by Pianist/Trumpet and Vocalist Chris the band played a excellent selection of favourites made famous by such as Glen Miller, Count Basie, Woody Herman, Frank Sinatra etc. Although only 11 musicians they were all masters of their craft featuring many fine soloists, particularly bass player Steve. Simone was not only a good vocalist but a very talented saxophonist who at one time had been lead alto wit the Ivy Benson Orchestra. Featuring numbers like In The Mood, Woodchoppers Ball, Chicago, Georgia etc the band had the audience foot tapping along then cheering for more at the end of a very entertaining evening.”

“I just wanted to pass on my thanks and appreciation from both myself and all my team here at Xero and was hoping you could please express our thanks to the rest of your band. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed you playing at our event the other night and are still raving about you guys as we speak so much so you even agreed to an encore on the night. You had everyone up dancing from the minute you started playing and I for one know that my feet were killing me come midnight which is always a sign of a good night dancing. I honestly cannot thank you all enough for attending our event and putting on a marvellous show. We will certainly be keeping you in mind for any other events we plan to hold in the future and wish you all the best with everything you do. Many thanks!”

“I honestly cannot thank you enough and would like to pass on my appreciation from both myself and all my team here for their fabulous performance at our recent company function, everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves and people are still raving about it to this day. The quality and professionalism of their performance exceeded everyone's expectations, the band really took it to the next level from the minute they arrived. Our event was hosted around a 1940s theme which the band kindly agreed to dress up in costume for. Their performance and overall choice of music was very upbeat and it really helped capture the entire theme. The band had everyone up on their feet dancing from the minute they started playing, I for one know that my feet were killing come midnight which is always a sign of a top night dancing. We will certainly be keeping themin mind for any other events we plan to hold in the future and we wish the band all the best with everything they do and hope they bring as much enjoyment to someone else's function as they did to ours.”


They were flexible, polite, and thoroughly entertaining.

“They are a simply amazing band who exactly fitted the theme that we wanted for our wedding. Incredibly talented and professional - their set up looked to a high quality and they were very efficient and discreet when packing up. They were flexible, polite, and thoroughly entertaining. All the guests were thoroughly impressed and couldn’t stop complimenting them. Their demos don’t do them justice - they clearly know their stuff. Chris - the band leader - is simply amazing, playing the trumpet and piano at the same time, and he has a great jazz voice. The organisation through Alive Network was quick, simple and efficient. Our contact - Gemma - was polite, easy to get hold of, and more than capable of sorting out any little questions or queries that we had. It made the whole thing so simple and so stress-free - exactly what we needed on our wedding day!”
