• With Andy Ellison, the first thing that comes to mind is professional. He is very approachable and attentive artist, who not only delivered the goods, but engaged completely with our audience. Bringing individuals up on stage with him, shows how confident and personable he is – and not afraid to share the limelight with others. His selection of tracks was varied and popular, with a good interaction with the crowd. Nothing but praise from all round.

• ‘Andy kindly joined us at Grosvenor Casino Swansea for our annual Wales Air Ambulance Charity evening where he enthralled our customers to the point that I am still getting phone calls asking when he will be returning! He was absolutely awesome and got everybody out of their seats and on to the dance floor, creating an atmosphere that was enjoyed by all. I will definitely be inviting him back and would strongly recommend him to anybody who's looking for a great night of entertainment at their establishment to follow suite and hire an amazing talent.’

• The Stars of Swing played at our wedding in July and they were absolutely fantastic!! Andy spoke with my guests and got everyone involved. I would highly recommend them especially with the band, we had a six piece band as well as Andy and they really made my wedding reception complete. If anyone ever asks me to recommend a swing band I will be recommending you. Thank you very much again!!
