We have performed all over Europe at many Jazz festivals and clubs. We have also worked on the Royal Variety performance and played for the Royal family many times. We have also perfromed in theatres and cruise ships. We also tour the UK every year with our own projects.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

The classic Bebop artists of the 50's including Miles Davis, Dizzy Gilespie, Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers and so on....

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

I have recorded lots of session dates for film and TV. We are a band of incredibly skilled musicians who often get the call to work on all kinds of high profile jobs.

Do you have different line-up options?

I usually work with the same core of musicians but I can offer extra musicians if required. Usually the line up is a Piano trio (Piano, Double Bass and Drums.) If you have any specific requirements or would like to add extra musicians, please get in touch and I will do my best to accomodate you.

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

We are very easy to work with. From time to time things change and we will do our best to adapt to your requirements.

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

The kind of events we play, usually do not require a DJ service but if you would like us to put on a playlist inbetween sets then please get in touch to discuss your requirements.

How much time do you need to set up?

Uusally 30 mins. There are some things that can add to the set up time such as a long or difficult load in. We always arrive in plenty of time to the event just in case timings change slightly.

Can you roam around while you perform?

We can perform acoustically which would enable us to do that but I would need to know at the time of booking as I would need to change the line up slightly.

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

If you have any special requests then get in touch. In terms of picking a set, we prefer to choose the repertoire as we are playing. Part of the skill of a musician is reading the room and selecting music that is appropriate to the moment.

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

Yes our PA system is included in the qoute. We usually judge how much PA we need to bring by the number of guests there are.

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. Get in touch and we will try to accomodate you.
