Thursday night at The Victoria at Dronfield, always a top night as I book the acts for the venue,  was brilliant this week with the appearance of Swansong Acoustic featuring Karen Gilmore and Nigel Smith on guitar who delivered a faultless performance.

Thank you for a fantastic gig at the Insignio social event. Managers of the University Arms kept asking who you were since you sounded so great.  I really liked that apart from playing your own songs, you did covers as well.  I will definitely recommend you to my friends and other pubs.

Swansong Acoustic was just amazing! Perfect fit with the International Jazz Day event. Our students loved the band. Beautiful voice and excellent instrumental skills impressed the audience. Moreover, Karen was open to any suggestions and ready to discuss the event details what made the evening even better. Would definitely book again."

'...the real magic happened when they started performing, they played a range of songs from different artists, with their own take on each and their performance was brilliant. They also had great rapport with the guests and everyone enjoyed their music.
