Reviews
“I just wanted to say how amazing you were on Saturday. We had such a memorable day and I hope you guys did too. You are all such fantastic musicians and you really made our day so special. Hope you enjoyed it as much as we and our guests did.”
The Bride, Hadleigh June 2023
“A big thank you to Fi, Darren and Dom from J2Z for providing a delightful Musical Jazz Trio to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Martin & Co Ipswich. The band played for us from 12pm to 6pm on board the Sailing Barge Victor from Ipswich Marina to Shotley and back and created a great range of tunes to keep our guests and staff in high dancing spirits along the journey. Highly recommended for an special event both indoors and outside.”
Gary, owner of Martin & Co, August 2023
