"Many thanks for helping us with one of our most successful parties in recent years to which the Silk Street Hot Quartet contributed in no small part. The band looked great and the music was ideal for the situation - lively without being overpowering. We look forward to you entertaining us on future occasions"
Philip Cook, Marketing Manager, St. Anthony's Hospital.

"Thank you for performing such a great set at our wedding...One of my most vivid memories is Edward and I arriving at our reception and before walking in we took 5 mins to stand and listen out of sight to the jazz. It was such a great feeling to hear the music and the chatter of all our guests. Everyone I have spoken to since has been incredibly complimentary about the band. You looked the part and you really did bring a smile to people's faces and ensure that the reception kicked off in style. The atmosphere created was such that it made everyone feel so relaxed and there was no awkward chit chat - people were straight in there on the Pimms and gossiping away! If anyone is ever looking for a jazz band, I will be sure to recommend you"
Jennifer Codling
