About The Misophone Collective

The Misophone Collective are a vintage themed gypsy Jazz band based in Bristol. We love what we do, and we hope you do too!

Public liability insurance of £5 million

We are a collective, which gives us the freedom to provide as many or as few players as you might require. If you want a solo violinist with backing track, or a solo accordionist without, we can do that. Similarly, if you want a trio, that can be provided, and if you want the full works with trumpets and vocals, we can make that happen too! We have players based in Manchester, Leeds and Bristol, so it is a rarity if there is a gig too far away for us to play! Our repertoire consists mainly of jazz standards and swing arrangements of both pop and famous classical songs, but we can accommodate a want for a tango outfit, or a klezmer one with no difficulty at all. If you have any special requests, please don't hesitate to ask. The majority of our players were conservatoire trained, and we aim to provide pristine performances. This focus on perfection however, in no way effects our dedication to making you dance! Please note, our minimum price is for a solo instrumentalist.

Oscar and gang absolutely made the ceremony and drinks reception at our wedding. The weather was horrible, and our outdoor plans were in tatters, however the atmosphere inside the barn where our ceremony was eventually held was phenomenal, and that was very much because of this excellent band. Everybody commented how fantastic they were. All requests were played, and communication was excellent as Oscar was responsive throughout. If you need a band for your wedding, DO NOT HESITATE TO BOOK THESE! Would give them 6 stars if I could. Thanks guys!

Oscar and Oli we’re fantastic at our garden party to celebrate our wedding - they came fully equipped and far exceeded our expectations! Everyone was up and dancing - ‘toxic’ was a surprising favourite! Rachel Gowdy (Private Wedding ) 10/10

Customer questions

Do you have different line-up options?

Yes. The line up is entirely of your choosing!

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

We can be flexible- To an extent. Please just try to give us time to adjust!

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

Yes.

How much time do you need to set up?

It depends on the set up. Half an hour should suffice, but should drums etc be required, an hour to be on the safe side.

Yes!

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

Absolutely. And requests are welcome.

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

Yes.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

We can, and we love to extend our repertoire, ask away! If you have several requests, or the request has a particular challenge to it we may ask for a slightly higher fee.
