Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

Performance space for 5 musicians. Power sockets. Up to 5 parking spaces depending on location of event.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

Yes, we provide our own PA system and, if needed, simple lighting.


What information do you require about a venue?

We need to know the exact location, including where we can load our equipment and where we park. We'd also need to be informed if there's a sound limiter in the venue, although we are not a very loud band.


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes, we're happy to play music from Spotify before and between our sets and for a short while after. We can provide this for longer for an additional charge.
We're happy to choose the music ourselves or let the client choose the music.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever played at?

The band members have played in many and varied brilliant gigs, so too difficult to choose one!


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

We're inspired by so many others and there are loads of great songs, many of which we play in our own unique style!


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

We've all been playing and gigging in loads of bands for years. I'm the band leader - I've played jazz and in covers bands for ages - it's a passion! I'm a previous winner of the BBC Big Band trombonist award. The idea of this band is to give the bouncy, swing, jazz band treatment to well-known songs and pop covers. It's immense fun!


What's your favourite type of event to play at?

We love playing anywhere with nice happy people! We keep the music lively and upbeat so it's always suitable for singing along to and dancing.


You play well-known covers in such a lively and innovative way. How do you do it?

All our arrangements are unique to give great and well-known songs some fun and bouncy jazz treatment.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

We'd normally arrive 1.5 hours before the performance to set up. We normally perform 2 x 45 minutes or 2 x 60 minute sets.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes, if under decent waterproof cover, e.g. in a marquee, to keep our electrical equipment away from possible rain!


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

We can send our repertoire list for the client to select songs from. Otherwise, we'll play a selection that normally goes down well. If you have a particular song in mind, not on our list, then let us know and we'll see what we can do.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

'Brilliant' 'Just the job!' 'Talented guys' 'Unique act' 'Top drawer' 'Refreshing sound' 'Kept the punters engaged'
