Reviews "They make the hairs stand up on the back of your neck“ Time Out "For the evening reception we hired a fantastic singer called Aydenne Simone – Steve and I went to see her play in a tiny venue in Wimbledon and were blown away by her incredible voice. She played alongside her band The Jazz Culture Band – made up of a pianist, sax, drummer and guitarist. They played some absolute classics – Fever, Hit The Road Jack, Five-Ten-Fifteen Hours are just a few examples. “ Rock my wedding.co.uk Steve & Becky "Thank you so much to you, the band and the pianist for entertaining our guests so wonderfully on Tuesday night. As ever we received tons of compliments from guests and staff alike and the only complaint being that they wished you could have gone on all night. “ George Smith Ltd - Managing Director "Jeremy and I are back from our honeymoon now and I just wanted to say thank you for a wonderful evening on Friday 3rd. We LOVED the music - you and the boys were fabulous and really made the atmosphere that we wanted. “ Phillipa Judd "It was great having you and Imre at our Venue we genuinely enjoyed your talent , thank you both for this amazing performance you made us feel special ! " The Trafalgar Tavern, Greenwich, London "She is one of the few singers around today who is not a copy of anyone else" Keith Ingham

I have not heard better on these shores.“ Benet McLean, 2016 "This is Terry, the drummer from the Unity Stompers. I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your performance at East Dene on Sunday. Your spirit definitely brought out the best in me and you took the band to a whole new level! I came home buzzing and can safely say it was the best, most rewarding gig I have ever performed in 40 years of playing! I do hope we can team up again very soon for some great music.
