JAM Duo comprises Jules on Piano and Anne-Marie playing the Cello. The sound of piano and cello is one of the most sublime combinations in music. We perform for weddings and events all over the UK. Our repertoire is an eclectic mix of classical and contemporary music to suit all tastes and audiences. Jules Addison - Pianist Jules Addison began his musical career at Cranleigh School. Whilst studying music to A Level, Jules also learnt the organ and piano under the guidance of the eminent jazz pianist David Rees-Williams. At school, Jules was involved with the Chapel Choir, The Barbershop Octet, the School orchestra, A Glenn Miller style ‘Big Band’ whilst also taking part in a number of Chamber ensembles. Jules worked with the local village Choral Society and, when not singing in the choir, played the organ at school for the majority of chapel services. Jules went on to study music at Royal Holloway, University of London where he continued his organ studies with Jeremy Filsell. Jules often played the organ for chapel services as well as singing in both the Chapel Choir and Scola Cantorum. Alongside JAM Duo Jules runs a number of choirs in Gloucestershire as well as a location recording company. Anne-Marie Humphries - ‘Cellist Anne-Marie studied both cello and piano at the University of Sheffield under the direction of Yolanda Wrigley and Kathryn Harris. After graduating she moved to the south-west of England, to complete a PGCE at the University of Bristol graduate school. She plays the ‘cello with a wide range of orchestras across the south west and has also performed with a number of string Quartets. As well as working in the UK, Anne-Marie has toured extensively with her Cello and performed throughout Europe, most notably in Prague, Vienna and Budapest.

JAM Duo, what can I say, you were absolute perfection for my Bridgerton themed wedding. I cannot explain the emotions that went through me as I was stood outside of the church, waiting to enter, hearing you play Ave Maria (Schubert). I have never felt so moved. Your talent is phenomenal. I loved hearing you play our hymns too, it was such a lovely sound for us to sing along to. The way you relocated yourselves without bother was magical, you just reappeared perfectly! Thank you so much for the most special touch and helping to create the most perfect day!!

JAM Duo were an excellent addition to my Grandmother’s Celebration of Life. They were professional and patient with us on set up and an issue with the heating being too high close to their instruments. The music was beautiful and really made the day. Highly recommend. Thank you.

Both are absolutely fantastic. Incredibly professional and they played beautifully. JAM Duo really added a touch of elegance to the day, and the live performance encouraged emotional reactions by all, something that just would not be achieved from the likes of Spotify. We heard nothing but compliments towards them from our guests and now cannot wait to receive the digital recordings so we can re-live the day. We are so grateful that you helped complete our perfect day and I would recommend you to anyone who wants to make their wedding / event magical.

Absolutely amazing! The JAM Duo arrived on time, performed their set as agreed, and left our guests commenting on what a lovely touch it was to have them there for our ceremony... and how well they just continued playing throughout the time! When we started looking for string groups for our wedding, we didn't intend to settle on a keyboard and cello duo. But we are SO glad that we did! :)

I requested Jam Duo to perform "Edelweiss" as my bridal procession song, aiming to complement my bridesmaids and me as we walked down the aisle, and they absolutely nailed it. Although I didn't get to hear their music beforehand, I've received nothing but praise for their performance! We also decided to have Jam Duo entertain our guests during the drinks reception after the ceremony, and once again, they were a hit. Their extensive song list ensures you can select virtually any song you desire, and they'll either know how to play it or be willing to learn. Choosing Jam Duo for our wedding was a fantastic decision; their music perfectly matched our theme and atmosphere, and we wholeheartedly recommend them!

Bredenbury Court Barns The Bark at Berkeley The Royal Berkshire Hotel, Ascot The Scarlett, Cornwall Clearwell Castle Tortworth Court, Gloucestershire Crowcombe Court, Somerset Farnham House Hotel, Surrey King Arthur Hotel, Swansea Curradine Barns, Worcestershire Purton House, Wiltshire Pylewell Park, New Forest, Hampshire And many more....!

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

The Brooklyn Duo The Piano Guys David Rees-Williams Trio

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

Every gig that we perform at is high profile to us and demands the same attention to detail.

Do you have different line-up options?

We are primarily a piano and 'cello duo but we are also happy to perform as a solo cellist, and solo pianist specialising in light jazz and classical.

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

We always try to be flexible and accommodating. As we only take on one wedding per day, it is generally not an issue if timings change. Please just give us a few days notice so we can plan journey times / accommodation as necessary.

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

We can in theory although this is generally not necessary and we would prefer to keep playing!

How much time do you need to set up?

Once at the venue it takes us around 15 minutes to set up and be ready to start playing. We can easily relocate from Ceremony Room to Drinks Reception, again in no more than 10 minutes or so.

Can you roam around while you perform?

No! But we can easily move set up in more than one place for example if you require music at your wedding reception and then again during the wedding breakfast. We have a portable power supply for our digital piano so can perform anywhere inside or outdoors.

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

We can play anything of your choice. The set list on here is just a guide. As professional musicians we can play any song and arrange it easily for cello and piano - Just let us know what you would like.

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

Yes we will bring a PA system which is suitable for your venue. We can perform indoors or outdoors. We also have our own portable power supply so do not need electricity.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

We can play any song of your choice - as professional musicians we pride ourselves on our ability to arrange songs for cello and piano - we don't make any extra charge for this - in fact we love finding new songs for our clients!
