This superb jazz act is guaranteed to add a touch of sophistication to your event. Specialising in swing these Danny has a large repertoire covering 1920's 1930's and 40's such as Django Reinhardt, Duke Ellington and George Gershwin + TV/Film and pop tunes performed with a vintage twist. In order to create a full sound Danny uses a loop pedal and high quality backing tracks. This is a perfect act for an afternoon drinks reception or any event where chilled background music is required. For increased impact both visually and musically this act can be booked as a trio which adds a second guitarist and a double bass.

Danny James 's Reviews

5 out of 5

Danny played at our wedding for pre ceremony, during & drinks reception. What can we say apart from wow he was absolutely amazing. We had already chosen our ceremony & exit songs to be played from his list but I wanted to walk down the aisle to ‘your’e still the one’. I had arranged for the hotel to play this over their sound system but on the day Danny let me know that he had practiced the song & was able to play this for me. This was a wonderful surprise and made it made it so so special for us. My advice to anyone organising a special occasion book him, if we could give 11/10 we would. All our guests loved your performance Danny. Thank you so much once again, you helped to make ours & our guests day. Clare & Leyton x
