“I just wanted to send you a quick email saying thank you for last night. The music suited the atmosphere perfectly and several of the guests told me how thoroughly they enjoyed it. Your singer might be a bit big-headed now with all the compliments that were lavished on her! I hope you enjoyed the evening, and I look forward to working with you again in the future.”

booked The Swing Smiths for their event in Buckinghamshire

“I was totally satisfied with the whole arrangement by Alive and The Swing Smiths have delivered a brilliant evening for us twice now, with excellent positive feedback both times from all our Ball-Goers. However, I am disappointed that they are already booked when we wanted to use them again ...... next June! Please let me know how we can get them to cancel their original booking and play for us again!!!! ”

“The Swing Smiths performed at our wedding on Saturday 15th October 2011, and we had an amazing evening with them. Their repertoire was spot on, the performance was superb, the sets were great and each and every song was chosen and played according to the moment. It was a ten out of ten performance with distinction. A lot of guests remarked about the great music and we had the best time ever dancing to the old standards (thank you for the many Glenn Miller songs, by the way!). We also appreciated the band’s timely expert advice, making us see that some songs that we didn't want at our wedding (like New York, New York) simply must be played, because people LOVE them. It's no wonder that at the end of the evening everyone was shouting "one more, one more, one more": it must happen to them all the time. Please pass on the satisfaction, indeed the delight that it was to have the band playing at our wedding.”

booked The Swing Smiths for their Wedding in Cambridgeshire

“It was so easy booking the Swing Smiths through Alive Network and Graham was very patient whilst we deliberated over having a 5 or 7 piece band. The Swing Smiths were a fantastic band and even though our guest weren't necessarily familiar with some of their repetoire they still managed to whip up the crowd and have us yelling for more at the end of the evening!”

“Dear Mike, We would like to thank you and express our sincere appreciation for making our wedding day so special. Your professionalism and talent exceeded all expectations and made the day a success. All our guests were incredibly impressed with your performance and you went a long way towards creating the exhilarating atmosphere that they're all still talking about. Our wedding would not have been the same without your contribution and we would like you to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the rest of the band. Best wishes, Diego & Paul ”

“Dear Mike, Now that we're back from honeymoon and getting into the swing of things again, we thought it was time to start thanking the many people who helped to make our day - and evening - so special. You and the band were amazing! Such a fantastic sound and a wonderful set - including the horn section on "All You Need Is Love" - made for a night we'll all remember for the rest of our lives. Our guests and Jamie at Micklefield Hall have all commented on what a fantastic band The Swing Smiths are. Thank you so much for being so flexible, so lovely to deal with - but most of all thank you so much for the wonderful music!! All our very best wishes, Victoria & Magnus McCabe”

“The Swing Smith's were on time and organised, and did very well not to get in the way or disrupt the party whilst setting up! They seemed lovely as well as professional, my husband had time to chat to them and said they were really nice. The performance was perfect - loved the band and the vocals, and they seemed enthusiastic and happy to be performing. All of our guests loved them -we got alot of compliments about them and people asking how we found them, and I was really happy that they appealed to all ages - specifically my 75 year old grandad absolutely loved them, and in contrast my 19 year old cousin who is in a rock band also thought they were really great! An all round winner, so thankyou to Alive Network for helping us find them!”

booked The Swing Smiths for their Wedding in London

“I am delighted with how everything went in booking through Alive Network and with The Swing Smiths. The evening was an outstanding success in big part thanks to the Band. They were professional (and SO YOUNG!), courteous, great sound and combination of sets, and kept the floor full for most of the night - I really can't praise them more highly and the feedback both on the night and since has been ALL positive. We had used another band on our first Ball who were VERY GOOD and I was slightly concerned that we couldn't match it - but the Swing Smiths overdelivered and I will definitely consider booking them again. Thank you all for helping to create a superb evening - I think a sign of a great event is when the band also has a good time, and I'm pretty certain that a good time was had by all at The Enigma Ball. ”

“Oh, we do hope you enjoyed last Friday nearly as much as we did! Rosalind and Oliver had such a special time, which in no small part was down to you. Firstly with the lovely, dignified ceremony music, then the happy atmospheric quartet (and they loved the Louis Armstrong number) and that magnificent evening entertainment. There were people there we had known for thirty years and had never seen dance before! And the new Grandma had to go and fix her mascara after “Georgia On My Mind”. You all made it feel so special, and though you have moved on to the next events already, we hope you know that when “The Swing Smiths” are mentioned, it will bring on happy grins in the new Lambert family for at least the next forty years! All good wishes.”
