I just wanted to thank you for your music last Friday and for all the extra help too.
We really appreciate your efforts in getting your daughters guitar to us and for playing the music as we arrived and during the signing of the register. It was all so smooth! I really loved your music as we were relaxing on the lawn- it was brilliant.
Sincere thanks,

Wedding Reception
Brian and his band provided us with the most wonderful entertainment for our wedding this month. Right from the start Brian was easy to communicate and organise things with, they hardly required anything from us in order to come & play and where very flexible even when our plans changed at the last minute. We thoroughly enjoyed the music they played and would highly recommend them to anyone considering a band for a wedding.

Savoy Friday Jazz Night
I really did enjoy your playing last night - what a treat! I'm just a budding amateur who likes the trumpet but always seems to be trying 'this and that' in order to make progress. Your tone and technique were just superb and I loved the Miles numbers. You've got a really well integrated group, full of vitality and ideas and a sheer delight to listen to.
Harry
Wedding Reception
We booked the Brian White quartet for our wedding in June and they were absolutely brilliant! All our guests commented on how great the band were and they played a great mix of music in the two sets, which really got the party going. They were happy to accommodate any special requests we had, including playing in a slightly unusual venue in our case. Dealing with Brian was a pleasure from start to finish and everything was handled very professionally. I highly recommend Brian and his band for any event.

Jazz Festival
I recently hosted a Saga jazz holiday at the Merton Hotel, Jersey, at which The Brian White Quartet was engaged to play. This was a unique experience, being Saga's first jazz holiday on the island and also that we had not heard the band play before. What a wonderful evening we had, with the band playing a superb programme of smooth, sophisticated jazz to the audience's delight. The band was very professional in every way - with good time-keeping and performing to our specified requirements. I have no hesitation in recommending this band if you are looking for something special, modern, up to date and very entertaining.
