"Just a quick e mail to say thanks again for
making such a great day into the greatest. You and the band were superb -
not only was the music and atmosphere created spot on, but all the members
were friendly, easy going and extremely professional.
All our guests were wowed by your set, my only wish is that it could have
gone on all night! You will be highly recommended by myself and others for
future events."

Dear Olly,
Many, many thanks to you all for your fab music on Friday and making the
party in the purple pleasure palace such a success. The gushing
thanks continue to pour in and I'm thoroughly enjoying basking
in your reflected glory! Thanks again,
Glynis"
May 2007 - Tetbury
"Dear Olly,
Well, I'm pretty lost for words! You and your fellow band members were
absolutely fantastic on Friday and totally excelled our expectations, you
truly made the day end on the perfect note. We've had so many comments on
how amazing you all sounded and the length of time you played for, that
I'm sure you'll be hounded for more bookings, Tom and I are so grateful to
you all for traveling the distance, maintaining frequent contact with us
prior to the day and sounding so bloody good. You certainly made our
perfect day even better! Right, I've got some packing to do as we are off
to Cuba for a few weeks, but I'm hoping that we will require your musical
talents in the not too distant future! Thanks
Olly.
Rach and Tom"
Feb 2007 - London Bar Mitvah for Josh Morris
(The Jazz Soul Boogie Band 6-Piece)
"Dear Olly and the Band,
The Morris family cannot thank you enough for the wonderful uplifting
music and atmosphere you showered us with on Saturday night at Joshua's
Barmitzvah.
You are such a kind and warm man and that shines through with your music.
I have had so many emails and text messages about the evening and the
music. We danced and boogied all night from the Israeli dancing to the
Time Warp! with Richard O'Brien.
I just wish we could do the whole party again, and the Jazz Soul Boogie
Band has won a warm place in all the Morris hearts.
Georgia really loved singing with the band, and Veronica told me that you
helped make Saturday the best night the Morris family has ever had.
I could go on and on. I would be honoured to be a reference for any
potential parties in the future. Keep well and giving so much kindness to
everyone. All our love,
The Morris Medical Mafia of North London!!"
Dec 16th 2006 - Losely Park, Guildford (The
Jazz Soul Boogie Band Jazz Quartet)
Dear Olly,
Please accept our apologies for not getting back to you sooner. The
wedding, honeymoon, BA losing our luggage, Christmas, New Year etc. rather
got in the way of our writing thank you letters!
Everybody thought that you did absolutely amazing work at our wedding in
December. When you are living and working in New York, as we were when we
booked you for the event, you are never too sure whether you've made the
right decision or not, but you and the band performed wonderfully and
naturally so that everybody could join in from 7 to 87!
Not only was the music well chosen, you made sure that we felt like a
million dollars all the way through and you couldn't have been more
accommodating had you tried. Everybody really enjoyed themselves and I
know that a couple of guests have been in touch already to see if you are
available for events later in the year so with any luck there'll be more
of that to come. Our photographer took some photos of you and the guys
which can be found at www.jaimieandjackie.com
by clicking on "photo album" and then "volume V".
Many, many thanks again for a cracking job,
Jaimie and Jackie Brown"
Aug 2006 - Oxford (OW4)
"Dear Olly
We wanted to say a huge thank you to you and the band for your brilliant
performance at our wedding a few weeks ago. You put life and soul into the
music and it really made our night. It was wonderful to see all our family
and friends on the dancefloor. We have some very special memories. We will
keep an eye on your giglist and hope to come and see you play again!"
Anna & Baz D'Arcy
July 2006 - Lancashire (Jazz Quartet)
"Hi Olly,
A quick note to extend many thanks for performing magnificently at our
wedding! We enjoyed the music hugely, and it fitted superbly with the
relaxed atmosphere we were going for. We enjoyed both the funky dancing
and the jazzy numbers, which were enjoyed by trendy cousins and
grandparents alike. Your reviews from the punters were rather good, I must
say - and I gather we missed a fantastic last set! I was rather in two
minds about going, but we didn't want the party to die as soon as we'd
left - and I had a tired new wife! So many,
many thanks - we'd recommend you to anyone!"
David Griffiths
July 2006 - Oxford (OW4)
Dear Olly,
We wanted to drop you an email to thank you so much for playing at our
wedding party - the band was fantastic! Everyone had a great time and
we've had a lot of compliments about the music. You got everyone up
dancing and made sure everyone had a great time. We will give your details
to anyone else who gets married! Thanks again
to you and your band."
Claire and Damian Bird
July 2006 - Cambridge (Jazz Quartet)
"Hi Olly,
I was on leave last week and so have not had chance until now to say thank
you to you and your band for last Sunday at Jesus College, Cambridge. The
afternoon was a definite success and I hope that you all didn’t get too
hot in the sun trap that was Chapel Court!"
Tracy Coultas, Webtec Products Ltd
May 2006, Abingdon (OW4)
Dear Olly & the rest of the band,
We wanted to say a huge thank you for playing at our wedding reception -
you were so fantastic. We've had so many comments since then about how
good you were. You even managed to get both our grandmothers dancing -
that's amazing, especially considering both use walking sticks! Thanks
again - I haven't danced like I did that evening since I stopped taking
drugs!"
Teresa & Simon
Apr 2006 - South Wales (Jazz Quartet)
"Hi Olly!
Just want to thank you again for playing at our wedding, the music was
just fantastic - the ceremony would not have been the same without the
quality of your performance and so many people have commented to me on
what a wonderful touch it was to the ceremony to have such great live
music. As for the evening reception - just fantastic, especially the last
set when it was time to really party! Thank you so much in helping our
wedding day be such a wonderful memory. I do hope we will get the
opportunity to see your band perform again soon, if you have any gigs in
South Wales do let us know!"
Dave & Jules Lindsay
Feb 2006 - Buckinghamshire (Solo Piano &
Vocals)
"Dear Olly,
Very many thanks for providing the "music throughout the
evening" at my Charity Banquet last Saturday evening. It was all just
exactly what I wanted and I have already received much praise for your
choice of music and its delivery... the overall event has raised in excess
of £6000 for the Thames Valley and Chiltern Air Ambulance. I really
appreciated your input into my Banquet evening. Best regards, Archie
Legg" (Mayor of Beaconsfield)
Dec 2005 - Surrey (Jazz Trio)
"Dear Olly,
A very big thank you to you and your band [JSB Jazz Trio] for the
wonderful music you provided for my party. I have had nothing but
praise for you all, a pity it had to end at 12 O'clock but always
better to end on a high! Again very many thanks, Jill Jobling"
Sept 2005 - Portsmouth (Jazz Trio)
"Hi Olly,
You did indeed go down really well! I
have given some cards out to a some suppliers who are interested in booking
you guys in the future. Kev, my husband purchased a CD from you, and we
have been playing this over the weekend, fab!!
Thank you again Olly – you guys were terrific!"
Joy Ward, Headway Gala Event
Oct 2005 - Brighton (Jazz Trio)
"Olly, So pleased it went well - the feedback we received was
fantastic! We will definitely keep in touch and hope to be able to use the
Jazz Soul Boogie Band again. Take care, Janice and Lynne"
(Distinguished Destinations for Thames Management Services event at the
Brighton Hilton Metropole).
July 2005 - Herts
(OW4)
Hi Olly,
Philipp and I are now back from Honeymoon - back down to earth with a bump
at work, of course! Thank you so much for your big part in our wedding which was fabulous. I
think I tried to be involved with so many people and events - desperately
trying to be everywhere and not miss a thing, that some of it's a
blur..... I do remember everyone (including myself) dancing and having a
great time...and then of course there was the encore. I don't think I've
ever seen an encore request at a wedding.
The great thing, of course, is that I hope we are able to relive some of
those memories in the future, so I shall keep an eye on the OW website for
any gigs that we can attend and look forward to seeing you again. Take
care of yourself and please send our thanks to the rest of the band."
Alison & Philipp Lohmann

2005 - Reading (OW4)
"Olly,
Both Sally and I would
like to say again how pleased we were with everything you did for the
wedding. All of our friends were very impressed with the 'sound' and we
thought the whole performance was very professional indeed! It made the
evening entertainment something really special. We wouldn't hesitate to
recommend you. Thanks
again!"
Justin & Sally Hughes
May 2005 - Oxford
(Solo with the Magdalen College School Big Band)
"Dear Olly,
Many thanks for Friday evening's performance. It was much enjoyed by
everybody and caused a lot of comment here. The children loved it! The
boys who played with the band were suitably thrilled and had lots of good
vibes from their peers.
Many thanks and best wishes"
JM, Director of Music, The Dragon School
October 2004 - High Wycombe (OW4)
"Hiya Guys!!
Thanks so much for such a good time on the 25th you were fantastic and
Toby and I really enjoyed ourselves, you were also so very popular with
everyone else!!
Good luck to you all and thank you again for being a part of out
very memorable day!"
Charlie Carter
Aug 2004 - Birmingham (OW4)
"Dear Olly and the rest of the OW4!
Just wanted to say thank you again for a fab night on the 14th August!!
The 'Magic of Macmillan' event, raised a fantastic £2500! As a result of
many other fundraising events and ideas over the past two years we have
managed to raise a massive £13,000 for Macmillan! This money will go a
long way to providing the expert care and practical support that people
with cancer and those close to them most need.
You helped to make the evening a special one, not to be forgotten.
Hope you all got home safely & look forward to meeting up with you all
again at some point in the not too distant future! Take care and best
wishes."
Clare & Pete Greatorex
July 2004 - Oxford (Jazz Quartet)
"Dear Mr Wedgwood,
Thank you so much for your recent kind donation raised at a fundraising
concert in Oxford. We are delighted to be the recipients of this gift. It
is only with the help of our supporters that the charity can raise the
£678,000 needed in order to continue to provide the services here at the
Hospice. Please pass on our thanks to the band [Jazz Soul & Boogie
Trio] for their support.
Yours sincerely,
The Arthur Rank Hospice Charity"
June 2004 - Gloucester (Jazz Quartet)
"Dear Olly,
From a big fan of yours in years gone by, it's great to see you are still
entertaining in music. I know for certain in my heart that I want to book
one of your bands for my wedding next year (7th May 2005) it's just a
question of which one! Keep the demos coming in as I'd love to hear your
bossa sounds. Eat yer heart out, Jamie Cullum!
Johnny Halliwell"
May 2004 - Bath (Jazz Trio)
"Dear Olly,
A brief note to thank you and for all that you did to help us
make Saturday evening such a successful party! So many of our guests have
congratulated us on finding you. we all thought that you gave a very
professional touch to the whole evening. It was a shame that everyone took
so long to finish their dinner, otherwise we could have had more time
dancing!
Your selection of music and the volume was just right!!!
Rosemary and I wish you ongoing success wiith your work in this field. We
will certainly recommend you to our friends who may need some good music
for their parties.
Renewed thanks to you all and very best wishes.
Yours sincerely,
Graham and Rosemary Richardson"
