“Thank you all again for playing for us on Saturday. So many people said how amazing you were and how much it made their evening - it really did make it a special night. I think you may also be responsible for creating some rather interesting photos - I didn’t see the Tico Tico conga but I hear there were some very amusing photographs taken!” A recent wedding client.
“Jazz and Cocktails played at our wedding and provided excellent sophisticated entertainment for our evening. Jeanie has a flexible repertoire and did us a number of requests and also an impressive selection of popular jazz and ‘ratpack’ songs.
For the three hours that the quartet played people were dancing all the way through (some non-stop!) and a number of our guests commented on the quality of the singer and music and enquired as to how they could contact Jeanie Barton’s Quartet for their own events. Overall we were thoroughly satisfied and think Jeanie’s band provided the perfect mix of popular and entertaining songs to allow all of our guests and us to thoroughly enjoy the night - highly recommended!” Clients Matt and Zoe
“Jeanie and the band were amazing. I’ve lost track of the number of people who told me how great they thought they were. Basically everyone there I think! They are clearly all very talented and sound brilliant - they pitched everything perfectly for the venue (marquee for 100 guests), and really made the evening. Communications leading up to the wedding were also very good - Jeanie suggested lots of song options and was very eager to accommodate any specific requests and requirements - it couldn’t have been easier. Our only problem now is trying to find an excuse to have another party so we can book her again!” John and Laura Goodall
“Dear Jeanie, I’d like to thank you and your trio for making my colleague’s OBE Investiture Party so enjoyable. Everyone at the party enjoyed every song you sang; you all just seemed to get better and better as the night wore on. Again…thanks… both from my guests and from myself.” Tri-Med, a corporate client
“I just wanted to write and thank you so much for such an enjoyable evening at The Creamery. All my family, some of whom had travelled a distance to get there were all very impressed with you and your trio. It really lifted the spirit of the evening, and want to thank you for that. You deserve every success in your career.” From a Birthday party
Reviews:
“Jeanie Barton’s vocals are a touch of class; with a sound that is both stylish and personal, and characterised by a refreshingly English delivery.” John O’Neill, former Jazz critic of The Sunday Times.
“What a pleasure it is to hear this talented and professional quartet. Jeanie Barton renders syncopated standards beautifully, aided by sensitive, sure footed accompaniment. A real relish, this group will grace anywhere they perform.”
Laurie Morgan, former AMD of the National Theatre and Founder of Club Eleven.
Price Guide:
The basic fee for ‘Jazz and Cocktails’ to come and entertain you is £200 per musician for 2 x 45 min sets [so the quartet ensemble would be £800 for that time].
If you would like us to play for longer, any increase in this fee is negociable - if the distance to be travelled is substancial (we are based in North London N8) some further expenses would need to be added.
