testimonials

These are some of the comments we have received from clients:

" A perfect accompaniment to our summer garden party! This young and personable band played a blend of jazz standards with sophisticated and interesting interpretations for the afficionados and for others providing a cool twist for their Pimms. The band are a talented and enthusiastic group of musicians, who are thoroughly professional and organized in their approach – a pleasure to deal with in every way."

"If you are arranging a wedding or a big bash, then the thing that most
people remember is a heaving dance floor. And for that you need a great band. Groove Elation are such a band. There are so many things to worry about when you are arranging a wedding, ball or other major event. It's vital to get a band that is reliable. You want them to turn up just when you agreed, to play what you agreed and play it well. You don't want them turning up late then drinking all your beer. Groove Elation are not only a cool band, they keep their promises so the band becomes one less thing to worry about."

"We have known Dylan Kay for 15 years and David Bouet for nearly as long, and they have played for us at two large parties and for several charity dances in local village halls.  The standard of musicianship amazed the cognoscenti in the audiences, but more importantly everyone just loved the sound the band put out.  John has sung with the boys several times in pubs and at charity bashes  –  usually rock ‘n’ roll/ R and B  –  but they are able to play in many styles.  They were terrific when backing American jazz singer, Ellen O’Brien, on her UK tour last year.
