Your event is extremely important to us, and so our jazz ensembles are very flexible to suit your requirements and situation. Our acts often perform as duos (sax, and piano/guitar), trios (sax, piano/guitar, and bass), or quartets (sax, piano/guitar, bass, and drums), and are also available in larger sizes (5 - 7 musicians). There is the option of keeping the band purely instrumental or including fantastic male and female singers, creating ideal music to dance to; please enquire for further details.
Our jazz musicians have performed at many high profile public, private and corporate events across the country, including Derby Day at Epsom Race Course, the Lord Mayor’s Show, and the Miami Dolphins Vs. New York Giants pre-match show at Wembley Arena. Venues have included the Royal Exchange, 20 St. Mary’s Axe (the Gherkin), City Hall, Lancaster House, Spencer House, Nicole Farhi’s on New Bond Street, Regent’s Park Cafe (lunchtime jazz series), the Southbank Centre (commuter jazz project), and at many halls and stately houses for wedding engagements nationwide.
If you have any questions
about the group or would like to enquire about a booking,
please feel free to contact us,
and we will be pleased to offer any assistance you may require.
