They were fantastic! I had organised the group as a surprise for my son’s engagement party. All my guests thought the band were superb and they certainly helped elevate the party to the next level. I was delighted with the band and would happily use them again if the opportunity arose. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them.

Absolutely sensational! Marianne and her trio were stunning and brought such a wonderful vibe to our pre-wedding jazz party at Thirlestane Castle. Their playlist was perfect and everyone commented on how sensational her voice was! Thank you so much. Tasha & James x x x

Absolutely fantastic! Totally mellow vibe from Kyle on guitar & Lawrie on double bass plus amazing vocals from Marianne. Perfect combo for our garden party, playlist just hit the spot, all our guests raved about them. One of the best gigs I’ve ever seen ( knocked the socks off Andrea Bocelli who we saw the previous week) 🤩🤩 Absolutely made the party - many many thanks👍

Marianne L McGregor - what a singer!! This lady epitomises what is so good about the Scottish jazz scene right now - vibrant, brimming with talent and giving us really something to shout about. So, last night, Marianne, delivered two astonishing sets which showcased her talent and backed by a superb band - James Steele on tenor, Lewis Shaw on electric bass, Uri Stav on guitar and Greg Irons on drums - she transfixed the Whighams audience. Unquestionably, this lady will be popular wherever she performs and if last night is anything to go by she's on her way to become one of the best singers across the entire country.
