We need a performance space of at least 8x8 ft / 2.5m x 2.5m and 3 parking spaces.
We can provide all sound equipment required for our performances including PA system, amps and microphones.
We can also provide Stage/Party Lighting if requested (additional fee).
All we need is a clear address and information on the availability of parking and power supply.
Yes, we’re happy to play music from Spotify before, after and between our sets. We’re happy to choose the music ourselves or let the client choose the music.
We typically require around 60–90 minutes for setup and soundcheck to ensure the best sound quality for your event. We aim to be fully ready before your guests arrive.
Yes, we need access to a standard power supply for our equipment. If your event is outdoors, please let us know in advance so we can plan accordingly.
While this quartet is newly formed, each of our members has performed extensively at top venues across the UK. Individually, we’ve played at renowned jazz clubs, prestigious concert halls, luxury wedding venues, and high-profile corporate events. Collectively, we bring years of experience from gigs that span intimate jazz lounges to festival stages. Some of our favourite venues we’ve performed at include Ronnie Scott's, West End Musicals, and Spice of Life Soho.
As a group, we’re influenced by a mix of jazz legends, soul icons, and modern R&B artists. Some of our biggest inspirations include Grover Washington Jr., George Benson, Stevie Wonder, D’Angelo, and Herbie Hancock. Individually, each of us brings different influences, making our sound both fresh and rooted in timeless grooves. Favourite artists and “greatest song of all time” will vary between us, but classics like What’s Going On by Marvin Gaye and Just the Two of Us by Bill Withers always make the list!
Each of us has built a career as a professional musician, with experience ranging from solo performances to session work, function bands, and jazz ensembles. We’ve performed at weddings, corporate events, jazz nights, and private parties. Our journeys started in different ways—some through music conservatoires, others through gigging in grassroots venues and collaborating with other musicians. Now, we’ve come together to form this quartet, bringing our combined expertise into a fresh and exciting new project.
We love playing events where the music enhances the atmosphere—whether it’s an intimate jazz night, a stylish wedding reception, or a sophisticated corporate function. Our sound is perfect for creating a relaxed yet engaging vibe, where people can either sit back and enjoy or let the music set the tone for a lively evening. There’s something special about performing in venues that appreciate live music, whether it’s a cosy jazz bar or a stunning event space.
We normally arrive 2 hours before the performance to set up. We normally perform 2 x 45-minute or 2 x 60-minute sets. We’re happy to play a bit longer or shorter but we’ve found that these set times suit us and our audiences best.
We are happy to play outside but do require cover from rain to avoid damage to equipment.
We can learn specific songs before the event but we usually ask for 1 month's notice for this. The clients are welcome to pick a set list from our repertoire or let us choose the music for them.
Individually, we’ve received praise for our musicianship, professionalism, and ability to create the perfect atmosphere for any event. Clients often describe our performances as sophisticated, soulful, and effortlessly engaging, with a balance of smooth background jazz and groove-driven lounge music. Whether it’s setting a relaxed tone for a drinks reception or providing an upbeat yet refined soundtrack for an evening event, we’re known for delivering high-quality live music with a polished and dynamic sound.
Yes! We have a carefully curated setlist of jazz, soul, and R&B classics, but we’re happy to accommodate specific requests if arranged in advance. If you have a special song in mind, let us know, and we’ll do our best to include it in our performance.
