SARAH JANE EVELEIGH

"Thank you for making Paul's 60th birthday celebration so special! Your superb performance set the perfect tone for the evening - a wonderful mix of lively tunes that got us dancing and elegant background music during dinner. The music was beautifully played, vocals and soloists were excellent and many guests commented on how much they enjoyed it. You really helped make the night memorable, and we'd happily recommend you to anyone looking for a fantastic jazz band." Recent client at Pennyhill Park, Surrey "Miss Dolores and her excellent 'combo' played a selected repertoire for our wedding reception in December. We were impressed with the band's flexibility and quality of performance and of course Miss Dolores's beautiful and seemingly effortless singing. So many of our guests commented on the band and congratulated us on choosing them. Miss Dolores looked stunning in a lovely sequinned dress. In planning for the event she was keen to give us what we wanted, offering us an extensive repertoire of American song book, swing, latin, lounge, jive, rock & roll and contemporary songs, based on our initial conversations, and said there were many more to choose from if we needed them! She also recorded the song we'd selected for our 'first dance' so we could practice to it beforehand, which was very helpful indeed. Thank you Miss Dolores, we loved the music and relaxed vibe you generated for us on our special day." Hilary & Michael "We heard Sarah Jane and her band at Painshill and I hoped that she might agree to perform at my 60th Birthday. The songlist she chose was wonderful as we had canapes and drinks and a great way to start the evening. It honestly made me tearful - it was just magical and a truly elegant start to the party." Fiona "A truly sublime evening! - I could not recommend Dolores & F. highly enough, led by the exquisite vocals of Sarah Jane. Our perfect mid-summer conditions; outdoor 60th birthday with 80+ guests, were complemented by crystal-clear vocals, excellent instrumentalists and a repertoire from ‘50s -90s which set and caught the mood. The band’s flexibility even embraced ‘roving’ musicians (ie the birthday boy on clarinet) who wanted to indulge in some trad jazz. Everyone had such a good time, in no small part due to the quality, atmosphere and enjoyment created by D&F. Brilliant!" Tim J "My 75th birthday party took place in a huge marquee in my garden with 250 friends in attendance. The stage was set by a superb warm and sunny day. It was a really special day for me which required a really special band. Without question, Miss Dolores and Friends fulfilled my wish beyond my wildest dreams. Her beautiful voice and superb repertoire complemented by her superb "friends" made for a day to remember. My guests were totally enthusiastic, ecstatic and enthralled. So much so that "Miss Dolores and Friends" received a further booking for a "roaring 20's" function for the following month from one of my guests in which the whole band turned out in period dress - Miss Dolores as a "flapper" and the band in DJ's. I cannot recommend this band more highly - beautiful presentation, beautiful repertoire, beautiful Lady and combined - a thoroughly entertaining band. First class. (10 / 10)" Robin
