Olly's House of Jazz's Reviews

5 out of 5

We had Olly’s House of Jazz for our 40th Wedding Anniversary party and they were absolutely brilliant. A dazzling tour of songs from the Great American Songbook played and sung with great commitment and style. Olly was so kind and friendly, and keen to get everything right for us, so they played songs and dance tunes at our request and happily accompanied one of the guests singing. All in all they made a fantastic contribution to the party and impressed everyone with their playing – we’d recommend them without hesitation and hope to hear them again soon!

Thank you so much for your kind words, David. We thoroughly enjoyed playing for you and your guests, and what a joy it was to play on such a lovely grand piano! (I was totally spoilt!). Wishing you both all the best, and go well with all the wonderful music making that you get up to! :) Olly and the band

Olly and the band play for us every year at the summer party we host for our friends and neighbours. The band contribute enormously to the ‘feel-good’ vibes of the party. Their jazzy style and Olly’s singing go perfectly with the atmosphere of the party. We get lots of enthusiastic response from our guests who are always delighted to hear that they will be ‘house band’ again each year. From an administrative point of view, Olly is great to work with – always helpful, dependable, responsive, and well-organised. In short Olly and his band are highly recommended!

Olly and his band were absolutely fabulous and very professional. Also very friendly, and they made our wedding day very special.
