I invited Lady Be Good to play at my 40th birthday celebration and it was the most brilliant thing I did. To start they are some of the nicest people I have ever met and then that brings us to the music. Speechless is all I can say, the tone, the vibe and the voice; mind blowing. Do yourself a favor and have them at your next event.
We have been booking Lady Be Good for our Jazz Nights for several years and they are always a smash hit with out guests. They are versatile, professional, and extraordinarily talented. We go as far as to recommend them as a trusted vendor to our event clients as we have complete confidence that our clients will have an excellent booking and performance experience. If you're looking for a great Jazz band to impress & entertain your guests, you've found them.
I hired Lady Be Good to play our convocation receptions over two days and found them to be professional, prompt and passionate about their craft. Administration / communication with the band lead both before and after the gig was well done.
Kat Langdon and the Lady Be Good gentlemen played for a private party for us at the Lambton Golf and Country Club The response from our guests was an overwhelming bravo for the quartet.
Kat has a superb voice; her accompanists were terrific and they were able to judge the mood of the crowd as the evening progressed. The went from soulful old jazz to feet stomping recent hits which had the crowd on the dance floor.
I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again and again. They helped make the evening a huge success.
Kat asked if we had any special requests some weeks prior to the party and made sure that they were included. The songs with which she wasn't familiar she learned and executed to perfection.
I wish we were doing it all over again this coming weekend and so do many of our guests!!
