About Paul Harding Trio

The Great American Songbook played by outstanding musicians. Swing & jazz classics to set a classy mood and delight your guests.
Jazz band
Leeds
Public liability insurance of £10 million

The Paul Harding Trio (also available as a quartet, with sax or trumpet) have a huge amount of experience playing internationally and in the UK, and command an extensive repertoire. Equally at home grooving in the corner of a restaurant as they are lighting up a festival, it's impossible not to feel transported either to a New York jazz club, or perhaps the Italian Riviera when they strike up. Featuring songs from the Great American Songbook, jazz standards as well as a few more continental tunes, these guys are sure to thrill your guests.

Paul Harding Trio's Reviews

The Paul Harding Trio performed at our wedding, playing the ceremony, drinks reception and during the wedding breakfast. Everyone commented on how amazing they were from start to finish. They knew so many songs and they were all performed brilliantly. The mood they set was just right and they were really professional and approachable the whole way through. Highly recommended!

Paul and his trio were absolutely great! I hired them for my 60th and I'm a huge swing music fan. We wanted quite a laid-back vibe, and they provided exactly that. Everyone loved their music and their friendliness. I couldn't praise them enough.

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?

Our main line-up is as follows: Vocals/Guitar, Bass, Drums. We also have a quartet option that includes Saxophone (see pricing).

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

We always try our best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let us know.

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

Absolutely. This is a really popular request and we actually offer this service for free. If you'd like a DJ service via our PA after the final set until the venue closes, we provide this for an additional £100.

How much time do you need to set up?

We usually set up about 1 to 1.5 hours before the performance time. As soon as our PA is set up we can provide a free playlist service to help set the atmosphere and get your guests ready for our live performance!

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

Our set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests dance and have an amazing time. However, we're definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event.

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

Our PA and lighting system is included in your quote.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

If a song isn't included in our song list there may still be a chance we already know it. If there is a special song you'd like us to learn we are happy to do this for you. There is a fee of £30 for this service to take into account rehearsal times etc.
