Very easy to work with and get set up each time and all friendly, accommodating people.
They always seem able to pick out the best of their repertoire for each occasion and are excellent at connecting with the audience and creating a great atmosphere. And all shockingly talented musicians!" - Phil, Roxy Bar and Screen, SE1
"This is the most amazing party band I've heard in years. I'd boogie away any night of the week with Black Hat..." - Kelli W., London
Dear Black Hat, Thank you so much for a great evening on 16th May, Mum really enjoyed your music and everyone commented on how good you were.
Jaelee has a fantastic voice and you played just the right music to suit the occasion.
It is certainly an 80th birthday party we will remember!
I will definitely recommend you to friends - you arrived on time, the sound was balanced and the volume was not too loud for our oldies! Your choice of songs were excellent. Thanks once again." - Jill Fox, Staffs
"I just wanted to say a massive thank you for your amazing performance on Saturday night - everyone was completely overwhelmed and thought you were brilliant!! It was especially appreciated due to us having the party at home and the intimacy of it all but you got everyone up dancing and singing it was just like being at a gig. Perfect.' - Alex Ball, Bristol
