About / Biography

We offer a trio as a core group playing music for dining and dancing, and we offer performances in intimate to larger venues. Expect great camaraderie and humor with your polished performance.

Our core trio features multi-instrumentalists and is often Piano/Guitar & Vocals/Clarinet, Saxes & Vocals.

Our bigger bands - quartet, quintet and sextet deliver a full sound yet maintain the intimacy of a wealth of musicality and a great collective approach too.

Our bigger outfits often add Double Bass/Drums/additional Brass or Woodwind instruments.

We have a very flexible and professional approach and can provide a band to suit your venue and event whilst maintaining a very high standard of performance.

We can play a background set followed by a lively vintage dance set or put on a full concert, showing off the full range of virtuoso playing within the band.
