Three chairs without arms
A power supply, unless we are playing acoustically

We generally bring amplifiers for our instruments unless the event is a small one and we are playing acoustically.

The address, and who to ask for when we arrive.

We can play some music through an amplifier.

The musicians that make up the band have all toured the world, some have played on big stages to thousands, some of us have had original works performed in major concert halls, but Chateaux Swing are a group of friends who are professional musicians that like entertaining people whatever the event. Some of our most memorable gigs have been playing to a small group of people helping to make a special occasion that little bit more special.

We are all jazz musicians influenced by many of the great icons of jazz, and also by the other musicians we play with. We are continually learning. The music of Django Reinhardt obviously plays a key role in our style of band.

I've made my living as a freelance gigging musician since my 20's when I turned my back on a career in engineering. I've met many great musicians and friends on the way, and this band gathers some together.

We enjoy playing wherever we are valued and appreciated.

Set up: 10 minutes

Yes, although we need some cover if it's raining or if there is hot sunshine.

Our set can be discussed - we may be able to learn a new song as long as the style is appropriate for the band.

We create a positive, happy and uplifting atmosphere.
