Our flexible lineups mean we can fit in pretty much any space! A flat, stable performing area is needed with access to power, but there's nothing specific we need in terms of size or shape of the performance area. If you're unsure, let us know the space you're working with and we'll let you know if it'll be okay - 99% of the time it will be!
We provide all our own musical equipment, but don't have a PA system or lights. We've found that any event big enough for us to need a PA system probably requires a full AV team anyway, such as a corporate awards evening or a large wedding with 300+ guests. We're always happy to liaise with your AV team ahead of time so everything runs smoothly on the day.
Information on parking and loading is great to have in advance, and depending on how rural the venue is, a What 3 Words link is great for finding hidden entrances down country lanes! Please also let us know when booking if your venue has a sound limiter or amplifier restrictions, as this may dictate or at least steer us towards certain lineups over others. However, there's not a single venue we won't play at and we've got experience of making some difficult venues work while respecting their requirements and restrictions.
As we don't include a PA system, we're not able to provide this, but typically this is something an evening pop band would provide at a wedding, or again if you have an AV team or there's an in-house system at your venue, they'll be able to take care of this.
It's clichéd, but we love every gig we do, and the variety of venues we get to see is what makes this job so much fun! One day we could be playing at the Dorchester, the next day we're setting up in a tipi out in the countryside!
We’ve been most influenced by legends like Sarah Vaughn, Dave Brubeck, and Miles Davis. Our favourite? It has to be the incredible Ella Fitzgerald; she always played with great bands and brought such incredible energy to her live shows. And the greatest song of all time? “Fly Me to the Moon” — timeless, romantic, and always a crowd-pleaser.
Collectively, we've all played hundreds, thousands of gigs ranging from functions to performing our own compositions at top London Jazz venues, right through to professional touring theatre shows internationally.
We love the variety, it's great fun to play at huge iconic venues in front of hundreds of attendees, but the intimacy of small weddings out in the countryside or overlooking the sea can't be beaten!
We tailor every lineup to your requirements. If you're passionate about a certain combination of instruments, let us know! Can't tell a saxophone from a double bass? Leave it to us and we'll use our years of event experience to put together the perfect lineup with the right energy and vibe for your booking.
Our arrival time is one hour before the first set, but it only really takes us about 20 minutes to get ready, depending on the lineup. You'll have noticed just how flexible our lineups are, too, so if you have any strong preferences on instruments, let us know. Alternatively, you can leave it entirely up to us and we'll hand-pick the best lineup based on your venue and vibe you're going for!
Our typical set times are 2x45s across 2 hours, but additional sets or earlier arrival times can be easily added.
Yes, we love performing outside! We'll still need access to power in most cases (let us know if that's a problem and we can make sure we're prepared!) and a flat level playing area. Of course, make sure you've thought about a wet-weather backup plan, and we can move indoors quickly if we need to!
We've collectively got decades of experience playing public jazz gigs as well as countless private events, so we usually advise keeping things open so we can adapt on the go. However, music choices are so important for an event, so if you have any ideas or suggestions, let us know!
We're often praised for bringing a different, more modern and gimmick-free look to the often overly clichéd 'vintage' jazz band lineup. Our musicians are all busy jazz artists in their own right, so clients really enjoy the real step-up in performance quality that we give.
