About / Biography

We are a collective of experienced, enthusiastic, energising jazz musicians and dancers based in Brighton. We have been gigging professionally for years with many varying different groups of contrasting genres, including jazz, funk, soul, function, reggae, ska, rock, pop, and many more.

We have played a variety of events, venues, stages and festivals, from the sweet pubs of Brighton to Love Supreme, the Rock Oyster festival supporting Nile Rodgers and Chic, to romantic weddings, private parties and professional cooperate events. Many of us are teachers and events managers outside of performance.

Music and performance energise us all, creating a unique, wonderful relationship between audiences and each other. There is no better way we can spread our passion and joy than through music.


We can offer live acts from two to six or even more musicians, featuring Flugelhorn, Saxophone, Vocals, Guitar, Piano, Double Bass and/or Drums. We can also offer interactive swing dance lessons as part of the act.
