Latest reviews of our Jazz Duos in Newport
"Message to Encore Just writing to say that I booked Casado through your Encore company and Martin & Sharon were absolutely top draw. They arrived well on time yesterday (Sunday 10th) and played three lovely sets and everyone commented to me either during the afternoon birthday party or by email afterwards how much they enjoyed their music. Thank you Martin & Sharon with my family and friends you made my birthday afternoon so special. I strongly recommend them Steve Mitchell"
Steve hired Casado for a Birthday party (available in Newport)
"Incredible from initial enquiries to an amazing set played for a private event. We had quite specific requirements that were welcomed and incorporated that we are truly grateful for. They were also able to work around the space we had available and were happy to adjust and advise. I can’t thank Casado enough for making a family event truly one that all those who attended will remember. Can’t recommend highly enough!"
Dan hired Casado for a Private event (available in Newport)
"We booked Casado to play at our wedding & I am so glad we did. We had them play the violin and guitar during the ceremony which was beautiful, then during the drinks reception we switched over to the sax for a bit more upbeat jazz which was perfect for the vibe we were going for. Would recommend 100% for weddings!!! "

FAQs about hiring Jazz duos in Newport
Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore
Can any jazz duo play my favourite song?
Professional jazz duos will often take requests, but you will need to give them plenty of notice. Please also keep in mind that jazz duos may ask for an small additional fee to prepare songs that aren't already on their song list. You can view the jazz duo's song list on their Encore profile.
How much time do jazz duos take to set up?
Your jazz duo will usually arrive about an hour or so before their performance begins to set up and get settled before they start playing. To avoid any delays, make sure the performance space is ready for the jazz duo prior to their arrival.
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 jazz duos are members of the Musician's Union, they are already covered by PLI up to £10 million. PAT stands for portable appliance testing. Most of our jazz duos will already have a PAT inspection certificate for their musical equipment/PA system, which they can provide to your venue if they need it.
