Thames Music Group

Thames Music Group, hailing from Essex and London, is a flexible musician collective — from solo piano or guitar through to a customisable big band. With Latin and world music elements led by Taylor Del Mundo, and the option to book the original band, Basharan, for a full, high-energy rock show, each performance is shaped to suit the setting, the audience and the occasion, delivered with discretion and close attention to detail. Built around musicality and variety, Thames Music Group curate sets that move naturally between atmosphere, energy and celebration. Their repertoire spans blues, jazz, soul, funk, Motown, R&B, pop, rock, reggae, country, folk, Latin, world music, acoustic favourites, and modern chart selections, tailored for champagne receptions, packed dancefloors, late-night bars, festivals and corporate events. Known for engaging live performances, Thames Music Group are not your average “go through the motions” act. Every show is approached with care and intent, creating a strong sense of occasion through musicianship, atmosphere and timing. From the first note to the final encore, the focus is a polished, memorable experience that feels effortless for the client and exceptional for the audience. Their distinctive sound — combining energy, melody and musical detail — has helped them make significant strides in the UK and internationally. With performances for Vivienne Westwood and BrewDog, at the Houses of Parliament, and at the ‘Third World Solidarity’ conference for Mushtaq Lasharie CBE, alongside appearances at festivals and events overseas, Thames Music Group offer a smooth, well-run experience from the first enquiry to the final encore — and a performance that leaves a lasting impression in any setting.
