"A youthful orchestra with many of the countries best young players that need to be heard, especially in a jazz environment"
Denis Dundon - The Rhythm Station, Rawtenstall - 19th October 2005

"An orchestra full of talent - a sheer delight to see and hear. This band is the future!"
Anonymous - after a concert by the DPO. 27th October 2005

"Good luck to The Dave Pearce Orchestra! Well done for forming it! Best wishes..."
Don Lusher, OBE - 16th June 2006

"A fantastic website that somehow manages with ease the difficult job of reflecting the awesome quality of the band. The DPO are always a joy to hear, and never fail to put on a good show. Highly recommended by us!"
The Nebula Brass Quintet - 16th June 2006

"Dave, the site is great! I hope this will be the catalyst to bringing the band the recognition it deserves. I have never had the opportunity to work in a big band of such quality and vibrance, and under the direction of someone so focused, wise and knowledgeable in their field. Always a joy..."
James Bulger - 18th June 2006

"Dave - you're an excellent 'bone player and obviously an excellent and dedicated bandleader. As musical director of the Nottingham Jazz Orchestra, I know how difficult it is to keep a really good big band together, but stick with it - you deserve success!"
Tommy Saville, MD of The Nottingham Jazz Orchestra - 20th June 2006

"I have known Dave Pearce for many years now! It is wonderful that he has achieved his dream. He has stuck at it through thick and thin and no doubt he will do in the future. We all know that it is not an easy path to follow, but stick at it. Always my best wishes..."
Yvonne Vardy - 29th June 2006

"I have worked with this guy (Dave Pearce), he is good! See you sometime..."
John Brennan - 29th June 2006

"To see the DPO is truly amazing - an all-round good quality show - you won't be disappointed! Good luck to him and the rest of the band!"
Liz Pearce - 9th July 2006

"...play the entire gamut of music - at least all you can stand, but do it your way. Youth is the future. I knew this kid when he couldn't blow his nose. Well, he can now and walk and chew gum, all at the same time. Always put's out a good band. He should - he keeps stealing my musicians. Good luck Dave - the future is youth, and without doubt, you are it!"
John Miller - Nephew to legendary bandleader, Glenn Miller - 25th July 2006

"When I met David as a young lad I was struck by his keen interest in swing bands. When I met him again as a teenager he was already blowing his horn. When I met him as a music-student I was taken aback by his talent and determination. Now he has his own band and this man is serious! He know's what swing's all about and how to play it. Catch him if you can and swing along with him!"
Malcolm Laycock - BBC Radio 2 - 4th August 2006

"What a fantastic, experienced young refreshing band to both see and hear! I saw the band at the Royal Northern College of Music theatre in October 2005. The band was so professional, and so tight. The leader was very informative on the music, and their female singer was not only pleasing on the eye, but also had a wonderful voice!

Definitely a band I'd recommend to any friends or potential sponsors/agents...long may you continue!!"
Jackie Hughes - 10th August 2006

I'm sure I speak for others when saying that the DPO is probably one of the most classy, entertaining, slick and musically 'rock-solid' outfits I have ever seen performing live in England.

Directed by the talented and visionary Dave Pearce, it very quickly becomes clear to all that this is an ensemble which settles for nothing less than perfection at all times and it is clear that Dave demands the highest standards of playing when appearing in public.

Dave Pearce and his talented Orchestra are without doubt a force to be reckoned with both now and in the future - Dave has the audience securely in the palm of his hand at every concert, lapping up the vast array of talent, skill and class of these fine musicians, resulting in a sheer spectacle of quality musical entertainment every time.

You must hear this striking group of professionals live!"
Iain Masson - 2nd February 2007

"Dave, your talent and dedication to the history of Big Band music humbles me. You are, without a doubt,
the future of a second generation of Big Band leaders..."
Jan Eberle - October 2007
