About / Biography

We are a five piece Trad-Jazz and Dixieland band formed of professional musicians that have been performing together since 2017. We are fully acoustic making us ideal for occasions outside such as garden parties or fetes. We take up very little space (3m x 3m), we can move locations quickly and still be able to produce enough sound to fill a large venue with lively dixieland tunes guaranteed to get people dancing and smiling. We regularly perform across London and the South East of England and we are prepared to travel.

We usually perform as a five piece (Clarinet, Trumpet, Trombone, Sousaphone, Drums) but can include a Banjo, String Bass and/or Piano for an additional fee.
