Jess and the band were fantastic. The music was exactly what we were looking for and really made the party. Lots of great feedback from all our guests. Jess was also very responsive and flexible in designing the right tone and set lists to match what we were looking for. I'd recommend highly.

The Rotary Club of Epsom held a Roaring 20's Charity Fundraising ball on 15th Feb 2020. We booked the Sound Express 3 piece band of Dario, Bea & Hose, who were absolutely brilliant. They played & sang so many dance favourites & guests of all ages were up dancing & having a great time. Thank you so much for making our evening so enjoyable. Best wishes, Veronica.

"A very nice group of gents, arrived on time. Set up quick and played some fantastic music. Although the weather had an affect on our night, they continued to play to the small crowed and keep them engaged. Will definitely re-book them for summer outside. Thank you"

I booked John as a jazz duo for my mums surprise 80th birthday party, I was looking for just some gentle background music for friends & family to listen to as they enjoyed their high tea & that is exactly what I got, it added to a great atmosphere and made the party. Very professional, sounded excellent, with lots of great feedback from the guests. Highly recommend, would not hesitate to hire these guys again. Thank you, you…

Very talented people. These guys were the first music act of our evening and helped to gently set the tone of our wedding reception perfectly. They happily took requests of some well known classics and finished with Thunderstruck just as we asked. Happy to recommend to anyone.
