The Mercury Dixielanders' Song list
In fairness, unless you're part of the history, you're not likely to know very many of these songs!
Suffice it to say, our sets are made up of traditional songs, and all are great to listen to.

Customer questions
What do your clients love most about your performances?
We're really quite a novelty. Whilst we are all individually musicians of many and varied genres, our sort of Dixieland band is quite a rarity to see nowadays! When you do, we think you'll love the special sound and performance.
Which artists have you been most influenced by?
As musicians of very many years and styles, we all have varied and eclectic tastes in music and influences.

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?
We don't provide a DJ service.
If you would like us to provide a small to medium PA system to play some MP3 music through, either with or without a modest light set up, then we can do this for a small extra charge, depending upon how you want to use it and for how long etc.
How much time do you need to set up?
Usually less than 30 minutes from arrival.
As we're predominantly an acoustic band, with the exception of a small speaker for the keys, we require very little time to set up.
If we're performing outside, or require to bring a PA / lights etc, then we will need around an hour.
Can you roam around while you perform?
No, sorry, this is something which we don't do.
Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?
No, sorry, we play a comprehensive set list of traditional Dixieland music. We don't generally stray from this at all. However, if you've a specific request, please talk it through with us, and we will of course see if we can accommodate your request.
Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?
We don't generally use a PA or lighting system for our performances. You don't need to provide anything for us, except room to perform, and a plug
