Jazz duo
Maidenhead
Public liability insurance of £10 million

Established musicians, Angela Good has a superb voice which suits the jazz genre perfectly. James Davis on guitar is an experienced musician; combined, 'It's Us 2' are a high quality jazz duo. We have a regular double bass player who often joins us to create a trio, with the further option of adding drums or saxophone / trombone for a bigger line up. Performance experiences include 20 plus years of gigs and concerts across the world and UK in a variety of genres and styles. From functions and private events to corporate events, festivals and bar gigs. As a duo, 'It's Us 2' is a perfect choice for a party or drinks receptions - or even as background music during a meal - a classy vibe with consistent and quality music. We have played at weddings, streets parties, gala evenings, birthday parties, festivals, corporate events and family celebrations as well as concerts and charity events. We can mix it up providing more up beat options to match the vibe of the event and get people dancing. As stated, we can add jazz drums and/or double bass / keyboard for a bigger line up if desired which would be more suitable for an event in which the aim is have louder music and to get people on their feet! “Thank you so much for your beautiful singing, it really made the party.” “Everyone is still talking about the wonderful live music, it really added a touch of class.” Get in touch to see if we can help,, we are based in Berkshire but are able to travel as far as Cumbria and are regularly in Dorset. Have a look at our video clips which show recordings from live gigs, as well as some studio footage. You get exactly as you see, no editing - no fancy video work. We are happy to have a discussion over a video call and even play you some sample music as part of the booking process. If you like the jazz songs from the American Songbook that the likes of Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra and more recently Michael Bublé made famous, you truly won’t be disappointed.

James and Angela were fab and just what we were looking for! They tailored their music to fit the style of our event and did a mix of songs with lots of well-known classics. They arrived with plenty of time and then amended their set to stretch over the length of our event which was perfect. thanks so much!

Angela & James were amazing! They really brought a different perspective and vibe to the party! The guests loved them! Much better than having a DJ! Nothing beats a live singer and a guitarist. Angela’s voice is beautiful. Thank you so much Angela and James for making my 1920s party a success!x

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

The personal touch! The intimate, yet exciting nature of what we do - we can affect people's moods to make them relax or get up and dance! We are often complimented on the quality of our music, we take great pride in making an exquisite sound, but can turn up the vibe as required!

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

Mostly recently, The Ship, Marlow. The Castle Hotel, Windsor. Windsor Great Park to name a few. We have performed at private functions all over the UK, in people’s homes and gardens as well as other venues from Village Halls to Hotels and Pubs. As part of a long musical career we have performed as far afield as Russia and the USA!

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

James performed with Mungo Jerry for many years as a drummer across the world at stadiums large and small. Angela has performed in Regent Hall, London, Cheltenham Town Hall, Great Hall Reading, Farrer Theatre, Norden Farm Theatre, Malvern Priory to name a few, both as a soloist and with orchestras and ensembles.

Do you have different line-up options?

Yes we can add drums, bass and keys/sax to increase the line up and create a bigger sound.

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

Let us know and we can check it’s feasible, we will always try our best to accommodate any changes. We often tweak things slightly on the day if the food, or a special guest is running late for example.

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

Yes we always play music (unless it doesn’t suit the request) through the PA during our break and before / until we pack up. Extra charges apply to stay later for PA use.

How much time do you need to set up?

30-45 mins, our duo line up is fairly compact and time efficient. We need a little longer if there is a bigger line up.

Can you roam around while you perform?

We are restricted by cables unfortunately so movement is minimal.

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

Of course, we usually plan a set list before an event but we have a huge list of American Songbook repertoire, ask us in advance and we can plan accordingly. We will also accept requests on the day from the genre, if we know it we will happily play it!

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

All sound equipment is included and is fairly compact making set up uncomplicated. We just need a power source. If you don’t have lighting we can bring an up light, ideally please let us know before.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

If there is a special song you particularly want we are happy to prepare that in advance. Just let us know.
