Oli Jones and Rob Quo met during a jam session, originally bonding over their love for old-time Blues and Jazz. After playing more together, they began to branch out and explore songs of all different eras and genres.
Beginning their gigging life as a Jazz duo (Vocals/Piano), they then added the guitar to give a rootsy rhythmic drive to the sound. Both sophisticated instrumentalists in their own right, their natural chemistry creates a unique and enthralling dynamic which incorporates the best of many musical modes and textures. Drawn to anything with soul, Jones & Quo can rock, swing or groove, with improvisation at the core of everything they do.
A bit more on both:
Rob Quo is a singer-songwriter of 10 years, playing stages up and down the country and recording/releasing his own music as well as performing a broad repertoire of popular song in a variety of guises.
Oli Jones, a London Trinity Graduate, began playing as a straight-up jazz nut before exploring blues/honky tonk and then mellowing into a general all-rounder. Oli has played in a great number of different groups and has lent his chops to many a recording session for Pop/Blues/Jazz artists alike.

Other than mains power (although we can go battery powered!) we require nothing else but 2m square space.
We provide all my own sound equipment!
Detailed directions to help us find our way and prevent delays. Information about parking always welcome!
Yes, but only via prior arrangement.
Appearing at No.10 Downing St was a highlight!
We love old-time Jazz/Blues plus the great Soul singers of the 60's/70's! We love any contemporary music that channels these influences in new and exciting ways.
We've been gigging since we moved to London as fresh-faced 18 year olds. Since then we've played all over the country, Europe & beyond. We've done hundreds of gigs from Weddings, Parties, Bars, Pubs, Clubs, Marriage Proposals, Funerals, Wakes - if it's there to be played, we've done it!
When the sun's shining, nothing beats a garden party. Anytime you can get people together outside with some food, drink & live music - it doesn't get much better than that.
Set up requires 30/45 minutes
Our set's generally last 45 minutes to an hour, with any multiples of.
Yes, as long as there is shelter from any elements and an even surface to set-up on.
We are always happy to be guided on Set List. Generally, we ask for a few favourites from our repertoire and can tailor a set-list to suit, but we are more than happy to let the client take as many requests as they like from my song list (available via our profile).
Requests - I am always happy to learn special requests when time allows, but this must be arranged before-hand and special conditions may apply (though I don't usually charge!).
Laid-back and soulful. People always pick up on our chemistry and seem to love our selection of tunes!
