Swingin' from the Rafters is comprised of high level jazz musicians based in London. Graduating from the prestigious Royal Academy of Music and Guildhall School of Music and Drama, the trio performs 'Great American Songbook' tunes and classic jazz standards as well as crowd-pleaser pop and soul hits.
Joseph (piano), Matthew (trumpet) and Guy (bass) have performed at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club, Vortex, 606 Club, Soul Mama and the Royal Albert Hall between them whilst holding a residency at the Tate Modern Restaurant together. They have also performed for Livery Company meals across London, providing distinguished entertainment and creating an ambient atmosphere.
The trio is available for weddings, functions, parties or any live events that require seasoned and accomplished jazz playing.

A large enough performance space to accommodate a keyboard, upright bass and trumpet player as well as parking spaces if we're driving.
We are able to bring all our own equipment regarding amplification. We will just need access to a nearby power source.
We will need any directions that will help us find the venue and the right places to load in and store our equipment.
We're happy to provide music in between our sets which we can choose ourselves or we can let the client choose the music.
My trio has performed regularly at the Tate Modern restaurant as well as multiple corporate events in various Livery Halls.
We love the bebop improvisation of Dizzie Gillepsie as well as the cool, modal playing of Miles Davis. We also enjoy playing the music of Stevie Wonder including songs such as 'Isn't She Lovely' and 'I Wish'.
We began working together and gigging while we were studying at Guildhall School of Music and Drama and the Royal Academy of Music. Since then we have performed regularly at jazz venues and functions together.
We love to play at all sorts of events but weddings are our favourite! The guests always enjoy jazz as an addition to the party atmosphere.
We normally arrive 90mins before the performance to set up and sound check. Our regular times are 2x 45min or 2x 1hr sets. More sets can be negotiated but we've found these times suit us best.
We are very happy to perform outside as long as there is a power source and a flat, level surface.
We are happy to learn specific songs for clients before the event as long as we are are given sufficient time to learn them.
Previous customers would describe us as a sophisticated, classy edition to any wedding, function or event.
