A band is only as good as its reputation..... Best let our customers do the talking:-
"I really enjoyed it, couldn't stop dancing! your band's amazing you should come and play in the south of France see you soon!" - Charlotte N.
"Incredible gig, incredble energy. There was a lot of love for you guys in there last night!" - Carnivalesque Liverpool
Thank you so much for your help in organising the Speakeasy Bootleg Band for the wedding. They were amazing - I had so many comments about how good they were and so many guests asking who they were and where we found them. We couldn't have arranged a better band without your help and the guys were brilliant on the night. Hannah & David G (Wedding at Sefton Park Palm House)
We were all having such a great time that we never had the opportunity to thank you for such terrific support. Please pass these thanks on to all your guys. You probably gathered that most of the guests were involved in the entertainment business in London and Los Angeles. Several well known characters were present............ and many film and TV producers............ You certainly hit all the right notes and for many of us, stripped away the years. Both here and in LA we shall be savouring the excitement on video for many years to come. Once more our thanks for a great evening. Yours sincerely J and BB. (Air-Edel studios launch party)
The Committee would like to thank you.... for making the Music in the Park so enjoyable. Everyone enjoyed the evening and we are extremely grateful for your help and support. Yours sincerely I.F. (British Heart Foundation).
We needed to send a big thank you for the fantastic sets you played at the Palm House for our wedding last month - Our Irish guests would love for you to play in Cork!! It was perfect. Biggest of thanks. Saidhbhe & Dom (Wedding at Sefton Park Palm House)
I was looking for a band like this, and everyone kept saying "Speakeasy Bootleg Band" - Mike Forshaw (film maker - Film 4 project)
Just a quick line to thank you and the guys for 2 blinding sets of classic jazz on Saturday. Everyone absolutely loved the band and you made the evening a really special one for me. I was in jazz heaven from the opening tune and only came back to earth on Sunday night! The guest vocals were a complete surprise and put the cherry on the cream - thanks for being up for that too! (David G)
We were staying in a local hotel and noticed this restaurant as we walked around, the menu was exceptional and the restaurant looked stylish and inviting.......... We were very lucky to have entertainment on, the Speakeasy Bootleg Band, they were brilliant. Please go and try this wonderful restaurant, the staff are constantly on the move, very busy but always available. Well done to all the staff, a great night out. (Tripadviser 26/7/15 - Hungry Monk, Southport)
Well done. The band were great; really nice blokes and the music was fantastic. Cheers. Paul Ryman. (Wedding at Peckforton Castle)
Thank you all so much for your wonderful performance at Hipping Hall for our wedding. It was so well received and
we can't begin to tell you how much it made the evening. We look forward to attending more of your performances
in the near future. All the best. James & Daisy.
Everything we wanted and more. PW (Wedding at Liverpool Maritime Museum)
Speakeasy Bootleg Band is one of the most amazing bands in the community of Liverpool that offers high-quality bootleg music that all their clients would love and enjoy. A perfect accompaniment for weddings, special celebrations and corporate functions, they guarantee a highly engaging and entertaining performance that you would love to see. Boasting of an awesome repertoire that includes the music from famous artists like Nat King Cole, Louis Prima, Louis Armstrong, Billie Holliday and many others, you will really look forward to the smooth music that only they can provide.

Sorry I'm only just getting back to you - had a very busy week after returning to 'normality'. I also heard lots of complementary comments about the music too - thank you very much for the whole evening. Just so you know for the future, there was a documentary being made that night about D**** H****** (an old Everton legend who attended the party) and his film crew were there so when it goes to DVD or (as they said they were hoping) they sell it to a channel then you might be on in the background!
Thanks again! Anna (DeCoubertin Books - Book Launch for Neville Southall)
Matt and Phreds @MattandPhreds - @Speakeasybootle we can't wait to have you guys back! Thank you so much for a great night! (Twitter Comment from Matt & Phreds')
Claire Turner @ClaireTurnerMcr - What a night @MattandPhreds @Speakeasybootle wowed every single person in my little joint. #ilovemyjob (Twitter comment from owner of Matt & Phred's)

Really enjoyed hearing you last night at the Camp and Furnace. Wish we'd have got up and danced during one of the danceless interludes. Hope to see you on the 7th at the Grapes. Alan and Pat
Just wanted to say thanks for Saturday, you guys were brilliant! You really helped to make our day special Kate B (Wedding at Sefton Park Palm House)
Speakeasy Bootleg Band are now playing in the audience! (Rob Charlton - Manchester Jazz Festival - Twitter)
Looking forward to seeing you soon, and you know, even without Facebook, I would still follow you. Thanks for all the joy you're spreading in Liverpool - Christine
Thank you Jeff, what a night! Please thank all the band members. (Alison B. Friends of Williamson Art Gallery)
I saw you last night in Peter K's, you were amazing - Karen White
Last night I went to the Caledonia, not knowing what to expect. Another blues band maybe? When the guys started unpacking trombones and clarinets, I thought ...... trad jazz?? I was wrong this is NOT trad jazz, this is JAZZ. From the first number, with just 4 guys, to the last number (I counted 9 guys on a tiny stage) they played a set of foot tapping, hand jiving, feel good music that I can honestly say was one of the best gigs I've seen, ever. There are 3 types of jazz. Hot, red hot and when does the bloody tune start? These guys were STEAMING!! Even when we went outside for a smoke, we could not stop dancing. People passing by in their cars looked out through their windows and thought "I want to be them". Yes you do. Thank you guys for a great gig - Kelvin M. (Facebook comment)
Had a great night at Matt and Phreds. Gutted we had to leave early...such talented guys. Cannot wait to have you play at our wedding. Mel B
Full for the first time this year! - Paul (owner) - January gig at Hungry Monk Southport
Had a totally amazing time last night at Matt and Phred's watching Speakeasy Bootleg-Band....bloody brilliant! Suffering today but well worth the s****y hangover! - Rebecca
Speakeasy Bootleg Band live at the Kaz. Live jazz. Great beer. Open air. In Liverpool centre. It's dying and going to heaven without the slightly awkward necessity of actually dying - Clive Shaw

@Speakeasybootle @MattandPhreds what a way to see in the new year. So much fun that the husband danced! - Jennifer Broadley
Great evening listening to Liverpool's most swinging band, the Speakeasy Bootleg Band! Brilliant!!! Liam B
Balderdash! In my day they'd have been drummed out of the regiment (Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells)
