The Véronique Joly Duo's Reviews

Véronique and Rob played a magical evening of jazz for our private party last weekend. They created a wonderful relaxed atmosphere which all our guests enjoyed immensely. Their dedication and love for jazz was evident in the excellent quality of their music. All the guests were really impressed by them and kept asking how on earth I had found such brilliant musicians. If you are looking for an unforgettable evening with amazing jazz and a wonderful atmosphere then I can highly recommend Veronique and Rob and would not hesitate to ask them to play for us again.

Customer questions

Do you have different line-up options?

Our minimum line up is a vocals/guitar duo but we can also offer the option of a trio (with bass or saxophone) plus a 4-6 piece band.

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 and we'll do our best to accommodate you.

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

How much time do you need to set up?

For our duo/trio we can usually set up in about 45 mins to 1 hour 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 you roam around while you perform?

Sorry but we don't offer this option.

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