Space requirements: please see https://www.jazzsoulboogieband.com/faqs/#space

We required two normal mains 240V sockets (nearby within 10m).

We use our own discreet PA system which suits a variety of venues.

For evening events we also bring a small lighting rig to enhance that special jazz vibe.

We do not bring staging with us.

We'd be grateful if you could let us know where would be best to unload, and what the parking arrangements are.

We very often use a CD player / iPod to play through the PA during our breaks. Some folks like to compile their own cds or iPod for us to play or just let us know the kind of ‘vibe’ you would like (e.g. easy listening / jazz / R ‘n’ B / pop / disco…)

We've played at many prestigious venues from Blenheim Palace to Syon Park. However, many of the best gigs we play are usually at weddings, parties and events where our audience and us simply enjoy the music and have a great time playing and listening.

Ooh, lots!.. Al Jarreau, Oscar Peterson, Harry Connick Jr., Earth Wind & Fire, Jamiroquai, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Huw Lawrie (yes - that's right, he's an amazing pianist and singer!)

At Cambridge University, I directed and performed in ensembles ranging from pop and rock ‘n’ roll outfits, to jazz trios and big bands.
In 2004, I went 'pro', playing frequently with the Oxford Jazz Quintet, one of Jamie Cullum's previous ensembles.
In 2006, I formed the Jazz Soul Boogie Band, a top notch wedding jazz band on the professional gig circuit in the UK, performing a variety of music styles from jazz swing, pop, Latin to funky soul.

We have fun performing for all sorts of events from weddings to birthdays, theme evenings to any-excuse-for-a-party! As long as the audience are enjoying our music, then that's our favourite event!

It normally takes us between 30-60 minutes to set up.
Our performances are usually 2 x 60 minute sets

Yes absolutely, as long as there is protection from the elements (i.e. under cover) and we're on a flat level surface. We'll also need a standard 230V mains power supply within 10m.

Yes! We're happy to accommodate any songs that you would love to hear from our 250+ repertoire. We'll fit these in during our sets. For a set list, please get in touch.

Our clients describe us as thoroughly professional, friendly, and excellent musicians and performers who communicate the joy of our playing to everyone listening! People also appreciate that we perform well-known jazz songs, e.g. from the American Songbook and standards from the shows.
