Testimonials

"Music from the Twenties and Thirties performed at its best. I loved it!"

John Suchet, Classic FM
"Amazing energy, what a fantastic show. The best show I have seen for years... I still have a smile on my face."

Warner Leisure Hotels
"Tony Jacobs' wonderful Orchestra stormed Keswick's Theatre By The Lake. Authentic and fresh, this band of superb musicians and singers prove that, the music of the 1920s and 1930s by composers such as Irving Berlin, George Gershwin and Cole Porter can, in the right hands, sound newly-minted. Little wonder the capacity audience was clamouring for more!"
