Latest reviews of our Gypsy Jazz Bands in County Durham
"Absolutely outstanding!! Definitely recommend 💯 percent! Hot Club du Nord made our day so special and memorable they played so beautifully ♥️ Thank you so much x"
Tracey hired Hot Club du Nord for a Wedding (available in County Durham)
"Romacaleo rolled with the punches when our day schedule was running behind, adapting to perform one longer set for us to maximise the music we could enjoy in the allotted period. They brought fantastic lighting and sound equipment which created some great photos of our wedding dances and were happy to use spotify recordings of favourite bands like the Beatles or to play live versions of songs such as lady in red. When it came to their klezmer set, I could not be happier- the band were energetic, masterful and true connoisseurs of their various instruments. They brought a variety of tempos, some well-known and lesser-known tunes, and carried a marvellous atmosphere. I was especially hopeful for a lead clarinet, being a clarinettist myself, and was not disappointed by the breadth of tone, technique and musicality provided by Martin, including some impressive flutter tonguing. The drummer was the perfect blend of timely and relaxed, and the whole band gelled together as one with a friendly and joyful demeanour. They truly came through (and quite last minute!) to contribute to a perfect wedding day. Finally, they accompanied my mum singing an original song (jazz) which she surprised us with as a wedding gift, and made the transition between genres beautifully. I can't imagine a better band experience. Even when the promised elevator was not an option, they lugged their gear up steps with cheerful expressions. 100/10 to romacaleo ❤️!"

My venue has asked for the performer’s PLI & PAT inspection certificates. What are these?
PLI stands for Public Liability Insurance. This insurance covers damage to another person or their property (it is also known as third party insurance). As many of our gypsy jazz bands are members of the Musician's Union, they are already covered by PLI up to £10 million. PAT stands for portable appliance testing.
