About Esprit

Delightful continental gypsy jazz accompanying Danish vocalist. We’ve played countless weddings, corporate events, parties and festivals.
Jazz band
BN2 5UP, UK
Public liability insurance of £10 million

The Jonny Hepbir Trio was formed in the late ‘90s and added the incredible vocal talent Sara Oschlag in 2003. Since then the band’s channel has notched up tens of millions of views, and the group has performed thousands of gigs. They’ve worked for some very prestigious clients - chief among them was Paul McCartney, who hired them for his Christmas party. He even joined them for a song on his harmonica! The group plays classic jazz standards in the gypsy style, plus a few foreign language selections, Brasilian bossa nova, ballads and more. Wedding clients, corporate bookers and festival organisers are always very complimentary of the band’s musicality, professionalism and style. They can be in the foreground of your event to provide a fun focal point. Equally comfortably, they can be in the background, providing a jolly ambience as a backdrop for people to chat. They can play outdoors with battery amplifiers, or acoustic if need be. They can play amongst the guests or be on a stage. The group fits into one car, which saves on travel costs. They don’t need a lot of space and can easily re-position if required to play in different places throughout the day.

Customer questions

Will the singer be the same as who I see in the videos?

We strive to make sure the line-up you see is what you get on the night. We do have pre-audititioned 'dep' musicians available in case a band member falls ill or is unavailable. As a professional band our reputation means everything so you can be confident that all of our players are of a very high level

Do you have different line-up options?

We can make the band smaller or larger, feel free to ask!

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

If we have another booking to get to we can discuss options

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Unfortunately not

How much time do you need to set up?

Around 20 minutes to set up, and 10-15 minutes to move if required

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

Yes you can choose material from the play list

Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?

All sound equipment is provided

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Possibly. We would need at least a month as we’re all busy
