We have incredible arrangements of songs and perform some of the best medleys you'll ever hear. It's all about having a good time, and GREAT music certainly helps!
Which venues have you performed at in the past?
Our band members have been fortunate enough to play at some of the best venues around, including some of the highly respected O2 venues, and even festivals such as Glastonbury! That being said, no venue is too big or too small. Whether 70,000 or 10, we will make sure you have a good time!
Which artists have you been most influenced by?
Modern jazz/soul artists we're into include the likes of Julian Lage, Jacob Collier and Joss Sone. however, we love the classics too, such as Dave Brubeck, Nina Simone and Etta James
What is the most high profile gig you've performed?
Earlier this year we were lucky enough to play for the Royal Family at a private, intimate event at one of the royal estates.
Will the singer be the same as who I see in the videos?
We have multiple vocalists, both male and female. If you have a preferance or a request based on our videos, we would be more than happy to accommodate this.
Do you have different line-up options?
Our full jazz band is as follows: lead vocals (up to x3), lead guitar, rhythm guitar (including backing vocals), bass guitar, keys and drums. However we do offer smaller line ups, anything from solo to eight piece.
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
We are very flexible and accommodating, and will do all we can to work around your event.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
We can either offer a professional DJ (not a band member) to provide a pre and post band service, or simply put a playlist if your choice on through our PA before/in between sets.
How much time do you need to set up?
We request as much time as you can offer to ensure we are set up and ready to go for your gig. However, we can ensure a swift and professional set up in as little as one hour.
Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?
Our set lists are crafted from years of performances, learning what goes down the best, and are designed to make sure everyone has a good time. However we are more than happy to learn and fit in songs that you request beforehand, in order to make your event unique.
Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?
All PA, staging & lighting is included in our quote. We can liaise with you and the venue to make sure we have a suitable amount of space.
Can you learn song requests before the event?
Yes we are happy to learn up to five song requests outside of our set list before an event. For weddings, this also includes your first dance song and a walking down the aisle arrangement.
