PLEASE NOTE WE HAVE A NEW PIANIST/VOCALIST AND ARE IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING NEW VIDEOS PRODUCED AND UPLOADED. WE HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS FIRST ONE. (Aside from video in Media, we also have audio that you can listen to) Trio Grand comprises three of the North East's finest musicians. With many years collective music experience under their belts, Trio Grand comprises Georg Voros on drums and vocals, Paul Carter on bass and vocals, completed by Barbara Wilcox on piano and vocals, We are a completely self-contained unit and can accommodate most small to medium size function rooms, including an outdoor setup by arrangement. Our sound is versatile! Perfectly tailored for a pre-event occasion requiring low key, sophisticated background music while guests socialise and sip their cocktails, to a more upbeat experience suitable for a dinner/dance function where a cool alternative to a Pop function band is preferred. We can also provide recorded background music in between our live music sets, guaranteeing a seamless flow of great entertainment. Our ever-expanding repertoire list highlights a mix of vocal and instrumental easy listening Jazz standards, to smoky Blues, to contemporary hit songs. Whatever the function, Trio Grand is guaranteed to get your foot tapping. Georg has worked with an award-winning band and recorded on an album nominated for the prestigious Mercury Music Prize award. Georg's extensive function band experience has seen him perform at all manner of occasions that includes being the touring drummer for the hit TV show ‘Stars In Their Eyes’. A classically trained pianist, Barbara has played and sung in bands covering a range of styles. Jazz and soul music are her passions and she is excited to bring a vibrant and sophisticated musical experience to your event. With a background in commercial music and recording, Paul has regularly performed a wide variety of musical styles and disciplines on both bass and guitar. Having discovered the joys of Jazz and Fusion in recent years, he brings all these skills together as part of a tight and exciting rhythm section. If you require a band that extends beyond the traditional Jazz standards format, then look no further than Trio Grand to provide a memorable and professional musical experience for your special function. We look forward to entertaining you and your guests.

The Soundroom was nominated as a Late Shows venue for the first time this year, and we decided that Trio Grand would make a great headline act to promote us. We chose them for their great mix of well known songs, and the fact that there was something for everyone to like. They helped us make it a great night, and they proved to be a real hit.

I booked Trio Grand on recommendation for a private party that I hosted. They were extremely professional and provided great live entertainment for our drinks reception and dinner, before the DJ took over. A great evening all round thanks to Trio Grand.
