We recently had “Around The World” play at our wedding. We can’t recommend them enough, and all our guests have been raving about them!
Very talented group of musicians with a talent for creating a great party atmosphere and filling the dance floor all night. Thanks to John and the Band for making our night!

Testimonials from venue management for our long running performance residencies.

Absolute excellent live music month by month. Performances and promotion have been top-notch. Always great feedback from members and guests � who�ve had a great time. We�ve had some of the best stomping dancefloors we�ve witnessed at our club.

Kate Bispham � Corporate Events Manager, Chinawhite (Piccadilly Circus)


Live Music at its best, we�ve had everyone from Elvis Costello to David Gray perform here, your shows have been some of the best we�ve had. Lots of fabulous songs, many of my favourites � especially the funky, rock n roll classics � love the Beatles and James Brown tracks best. People grooving non-stop � really can�t ask for more! It�s been an amazing two years of shows for every kind of event imaginable. Keep up the good work.

Nova Buchan � Events Manager, Cobden Club (Notting Hill)


You packed out the restaurant, we managed to fit everybody in there in the end, wasn�t easy. Excellent performance, you had everyone singing and dancing, including me. Sorry we had to stop, were running way over our licence closing time. Couldn�t stop the party in full flow. All the musicians were professional and fun to work with � our staff loved it. Think it�s now the talk of Mayfair, had a lot of interest from our restaurants in the area. Let�s do it again.

Jason, General Manager, Francos (Mayfair)


Well done for your sell-out concert. The ground floor and balcony were pretty full of happy faces. Great show, very fun and up-tempo � the way we like it. One of the best bands we�ve had here for engaging the crowd with a good ol�party vibe. Great choice of tunes, think you managed to cover every genre possible.

Brian Bradley � General Manager, Pigalle (Piccadilly Circus)


Thank you for high-spirited and rocking energy on stage. You and your band�s playing at our staff party was a show-stopper. What a night, lots of super feedback from all our staff. Your residency at the Met bar has been a real success, good crowds and great music.

Jamie Holloway � Met Bar Manager (London Metropolitan Hotel � Park Lane)
