About / Biography

Bourbon St.Stompers are an energetic and highly entertaining band playing 1920s style swing/jazz with big brass lines inspired by the great parades in New Orleans. They have even played in New Orleans and have created a set that reflects the popular songs of the city as well as throwing in some well known floor filling songs for good measure.

There is quite simply no other band out there as authentic and fun as Bourbon St.Stompers, and have proved to be highly popular amongst people who want something a little bit different for their wedding parties.

They are also experienced at various corporate events such as Radisson Blu Hotels, and Xiros, and Nottingham Racecourse.

They are one of the best jazz bands on the circuit and play extensively at prestigious jazz festivals up and down the country as well as appearing live on BBC Radio 3.

They can play as a variety of line ups from a trio/quartet for smaller events and dinners up to the full 8 piece band for lively parties. You can also hire the piano player to play solo classical music, and even accompany this with violin to provide a beautiful atmosphere for your wedding ceremony.

We can play as a variety of line ups from a duo to a full 8 piece band:

Instruments are - trumpet, trombone, saxophone/clarinet, violin, piano, drums, bass, guitar. These will be subject to availability of musicians if smaller sized bands are requested. Clients may request certain musicians provided enough notice is given. The duo is piano and double bass.
