Performance space for 5 musicians. Power sockets. Up to 5 parking spaces depending on location of event.
Yes, we provide our own PA system and, if needed, simple lighting.
We need to know the exact location, including where we can load our equipment and where we park. We'd also need to be informed if there's a sound limiter in the venue, although we are not a very loud band.
Yes, we're happy to play music from Spotify before and between our sets and for a short while after. We can provide this for longer for an additional charge.
We're happy to choose the music ourselves or let the client choose the music.
The band members have played in many and varied brilliant gigs, so too difficult to choose one!
We're inspired by so many others and there are loads of great songs, many of which we play in our own unique style!
We've all been playing and gigging in loads of bands for years. I'm the band leader - I've played jazz and in covers bands for ages - it's a passion! I'm a previous winner of the BBC Big Band trombonist award. The idea of this band is to give the bouncy, swing, jazz band treatment to well-known songs and pop covers. It's immense fun!
We love playing anywhere with nice happy people! We keep the music lively and upbeat so it's always suitable for singing along to and dancing.
All our arrangements are unique to give great and well-known songs some fun and bouncy jazz treatment.
We'd normally arrive 1.5 hours before the performance to set up. We normally perform 2 x 45 minutes or 2 x 60 minute sets.
Yes, if under decent waterproof cover, e.g. in a marquee, to keep our electrical equipment away from possible rain!
We can send our repertoire list for the client to select songs from. Otherwise, we'll play a selection that normally goes down well.
