We hired the honeysuckle jazz band for my father’s funeral and they were superb they provided just the right atmosphere to give dad the send off he would have loved and I’m quite sure this band can make any occasion a very enjoyable one. A big thank you from the Ryan family

We saw Honeysuckle Jazz play at the Moonshine Club. They are extremely accomplished musicians and they created a wonderful atmosphere for the evening. Can't recommend them highly enough!"
