Testimonials

It's always a pleasure to receive nice feedback from clients following their events... Here's some we received today!

Just a quick note to say a very BIG thank you for attending and making special my daughters 1st Birthday. Everybody was really raving about the activities available to them. I have already passed your number on to several other family members who loved everything you did.

My only regret is that I didn't really get time to speak to you more throughout the event!

Thanks again, much appreciated. Keep up the good work.

Parm, Private Client.

Just wanted to thank you for everything, all went fantastically well on Saturday night, everyone says best party ever, they say that every year so no pressure!!!

The band were absolutely fantastic and people are still talking about them, they really did keep the dance floor so full all night. The photographer was brilliant, I am waiting on photos but he was extremely accommodating and I am sure they will turn out to be fantastic. I only met the magician, I did not get to see him in action but I hear he was very good.

Liz, Corporate Client supplying entertainment for 5th year.

Good morning Alan,

Just wanted to let you know that Saturday was a huge success and the feedback has been amazing.

Can you please pass on our thanks to Steve who did a great job from taking photos, working with the band, sorting out the table decorations and was on hand to answer all our questions. Also can also pass on our thanks to the band, they were probably the best band we have ever had at our functions.

Thanks again Alan for helping to make our night a memorable one and we look forward to working with you in the future.

With kindest regards

Clare

I think that I have finally dried out and just out got over the weekend. Many thanks for the photos they look amazing.

I have been meaning to speak to both yourself and Steve but just not had the chance to thank you both so much for all the hard work that you, Steve and your team put into both our events over the bank holiday weekend. The venue on Saturday evening looked amazing with all the lighting and the jazz band, magician and silhouette cutter were just fantastic. On the Monday, the day was challenging with the weather being against us but again, you all helped to make day go ahead the best we could. The children’s entertainer was just perfect and he seemed to fit into the theme perfectly, the kids loved him and the stalls with all the goodies.

Everyone had a great time at both events so again, thank you for all your help in making our celebrations one that everyone will remember.

'Just a note to say a huge THANK YOU for making our Christmas Event such a huge success last night. I've had some incredible feedback about the evening and every element of it, which is down to all of you and your contribution to it.

Our Staff Christmas Party is always a difficult one to organise as you can’t always please everyone, but I think last night exceeded all of my personal expectations and the effort put in by everyone made the evening a roaring success.

Thank you once again; it was a pleasure working with you all.'

78 RPM Big Band

Impeccable Big Band Sound

Formed in 1990, the 78 RPM Big Band dominates the jazz, blues, soul and funk scene in Cambridge. Its lively and versatile approach quickly established it as one of the most popular bands in the Eastern Region and beyond. With their showmanship and energetic style, performances are definitely not to be missed.

The Essential Performance

The (up to) seventeen piece band are as equally at home in a concert environment as they are in the strict tempo ballroom or local club or pub. Whatever the venue their performance is electric, spontaneous and full of vitality and enthusiasm. They are immaculately turned out in dinner jackets or their black polo shirts which sport the distinctive 78 RPM logo are worn for the less formal occasion.

A Storehouse of Sounds

78 RPM play a wide range of music from the 1930s and ‘40s through to the present day including the luscious big band tones of Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington and Count Basie, the funk of The Average White Band and Earth, Wind and Fire, to infectious dance music from 1950s Rock and Roll, ‘60s Soul, 70s and 80s Disco and more contemporary chart sounds.

Holding Impressive Credentials

The individual musicians have impressive credentials with varied and interesting backgrounds. They have a wealth of experience in live performing, coming from West End shows, cruise ships, having featured in numerous radio and TV broadcasts. Collectively the band have played with Mark Rattray, Luke Goss, Bernie Marsden and Colin Bluntstone, The Drifters, Shakatak, The Nolan Sisters and Katrina and The Waves.

Award Winning

The Band was awarded second place in the prestigious BBC Radio 2 Big Band Competition in 1995 and the band's leader, Julian Landymore, scooped the Marty Paich Trophy for best arrangement.

Vocal Presence

To complement its big band sound, 78 RPM can add male or female vocalists to add a little extra 'wow' to the line up performing songs in swing, latin and pop styles from the likes of Michael Bublé, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan and Billie Holiday.

Versatile Programme

78 RPM provides musical entertainment for many different occasions with a versatile programme packed full of fun and surprises, appealing to a wide audience. Should your venue require it the band's line up can be fashioned for a ten, twelve or fourteen piece. A duo, trio or quartet can provide live background music for drinks receptions or dinner music and recorded music is always available.
