Frontier Duo is an exciting new jazz/soul/pop duo comprising pianist Ed Wren and saxophonist Noah Chiari bringing their bright contemporary twist to classic tunes and obscure gems from across the decades. Expect a suave and polished sound from Noah’s warm alto playing and Ed’s glistening keys. Whether you are searching for funky soul, current favourites, vintage swing, or a pick-and-mix set tailored to your event requirements, Frontier Duo will add a special touch of class. Check out the duo’s playing below and hear the sparkle of their music for yourself! With an exceptional depth and quality of artistic experience, Noah and Ed both studied at the prestigious Royal Academy of Music in London and have played at many of the top London jazz venues and countless others across the UK. In Frontier Duo, they are particularly united by their joint love of the best music of 60s and 70s, including the Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Bill Withers, and Supertramp, and the more recent soul music of Amy Winehouse, Corinne Bailey Rae and others. This first-rate duo will happily learn three special requests and can either provide all their own equipment or make use of a piano and/or amplification provided at your chosen venue.

Fantastic performance! Amazing sets, interesting to hear some tunes that we knew but in a different way, and really accompanied the atmosphere of the event. Thank you so much!

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

Our clients love our sets and hearing some popular tunes in ways they haven't heard them before! We also like to play a range of styles to add some variety to our sets, which clients have absolutely loved.

Do you have different line-up options?

We love to work as a duo, however if you would particularly like a specific instrument on the gig then we are always open to exploring what we can provide for you.

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

We appreciate that sometimes events don't always run to time, so we can be somewhat flexible on the day. If you are aware before the event that the timings have changed significantly, then please do give us prior notice as this may affect our availability/pricing, and we wouldn't want you to miss out!

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

We can provide a medium sized bluetooth speaker to play music 30 minutes before, in-between and up to 30 minutes after our sets. Unfortunately we cannot provide a full PA system, however our speaker does pack a punch if required!

How much time do you need to set up?

We like to arrive at venues 30 - 45 minutes before the start of our first set. Our setup time is very quick and with minimal equipment, meaning that we don't take up a lot of room in a venue compared to a normal function band.

Can you roam around while you perform?

Sadly not.

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

Yes! Please do send us songs from our list in advance if you know you want them played. Also any from our list can be requested on the day. In addition, we offer three songs to be requested that aren't on the list in advance for free, however any additional songs on top of that will incur a £20 charge each for our time to arrange them.

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

Yes - note that we do not have any PA/Lighting equipment as we do not use them in our sets.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Yes - up to three songs that aren't on our list can be requested prior to the event for free, however any additional songs on top of that will incur a £20 charge each for our time to arrange them.
