Frequently asked questions


Most singers (jazz) are self-contained and provide their own sound equipment which is suitable for typical situations. If your event is to be held in a large venue, or you have more than 300 guests, we recommend that additional sound equipment should be used. Always ask your act about their sound system requirements. Some singers (jazz) have lighting systems, but most usually will charge extra for this or recommend a third party supplier for you to use.

Each event is different but the typical performance time for singers (jazz) is 2 x 45 minutes sets within a 2 hours period. Some acts are happy to play longer sets or additional sets. Often, breaks can be negotiated but you should be aware that the price may increase if the musicians need to be onsite for a longer period of time.

Booking singers (jazz) as early as possible increases the chance of securing their availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many acts also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged performances for clients with just a few hours' notice.

You should always check whether or not your act is prepared to play outdoors. Weather conditions such as wind, rain, or extreme temperatures can affect the performance and the instruments. If you are planning an outdoor event you should be prepared to offer a flat surface for performers as well as a cover in case of unexpected rain.

The cost of hiring musicians can vary significantly depending on the type of act. The average price is currently £319. Budget-level acts may be available for as low as £90, while top-tier acts can command prices as high as £1534.

Hire live Singers (Jazz)

Ideal for:

Generally, jazz acts always work best at formal occasions. Weddings, drinks receptions, birthday parties or black-tie product launches, jazz singers will seamlessly blend into these occasions, at various points during the day. Alternatively, they will also be at home at public events with a 40's, 50's or even a "Great Gatsby" theme, taking the focus and performing a set that's ideal for dancing.

When booking a jazz singer:

Some jazz singers will perform to backing tracks, whereas others will have a group of musicians to back them up. It's always important to clarify which one this will be with your potential act first, to avoid disappointment. Most jazz singers will bring their own PA equipment with them, and your venue will probably require this to be PAT tested for electrical safety. They will also ask for your acts certificate for Public Liability Insurance, so it's a good idea to make sure these documents are available.

Prices for Singers (Jazz)

One of the advantages of hiring a solo singer is that they can keep additional costs to a minimum. A typical swing singer that performs to backing tracks will usually charge a minimum of £150, however that price will vary depending on the act and the travel cost. Use the "advanced search" feature to find jazz singers that are local to you.

About jazz/swing music:

Coming out of the two and 4 beat jazz era of the 1920's that had been pioneered by the likes of Louis Armstrong in Chicago, the swing or big band era began in the 30's in various big cities in the USA. Big band leaders like Duke Ellington and Benny Goodmen would arrange various jazz numbers for large bands, often incorporating time for several musicians to improvise on the tune.

Over the 40's and 50's, big bands would often be hired to back popular singers, the undisputed king of which would be one Francis Albert Sinatra. Ol' blue eyes would go on to be known as one of the worlds greatest entertainers, performing sold out concerts around the globe, taking up huge residencies in the most popular Las Vegas hotels/casinos and starring in big budget Hollywood films.

Most modern swing singers will draw on the tunes of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, The Rat Pack and various other popular singers of the decade. Swing (and other jazz music subgenres) has also enjoyed something of a resurgence in popularity recently, with the likes of Michael Buble, Jamie Cullum and Gregory Porter often drawing on the styles and arrangements of popular jazz singers of the 30's, 40's and 50's.
