Alice Black Jazz and Swing band
"Alice, you and John were absolutely fantastic at our Christmas lunch. To quote from our members: absolutely fabulous; wonderful carols with Alice; where did you find her, book her for next year; one of the best ever. I can’t say anymore – one of the best decisions we have made was having you at the NAT Christmas festivities."

Abbie Henry
"Abbie did two 45 minute sets for me at my surprise 60th party and I honestly cannot fault the service or the performance. She was absolutely note perfect - her covers are amazing and it was such an eclectic mix! There’s definitely something in her set list for everyone! I was blown away with her talent. I’m booking her for another party later in the year. Thanks Abbie - as the song goes You’re a Superstar! "

Frequently asked questions

You should always check whether or not your act is prepared to play outdoors. It’s sometimes not possible for acts that use a lot of electronic equipment to perform anywhere where it might rain.If the act is happy to perform outdoors you should plan to have electrical outlets close to the performance area and provide a flat surface as well as a cover in case of rain.
Each event is different but the typical performance time for bands & ensembles is 2 x 45 minutes sets within a 2 hours period. Some acts are happy to play longer sets or additional sets. Often, breaks can be negotiated but you should be aware that the price may increase if the musicians need to be onsite for a longer period of time.
Booking bands & ensembles as early as possible increases the chance of securing their availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many acts also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged performances for clients with just a few hours' notice.
Most bands & ensembles are self-contained and provide their own sound equipment which is suitable for typical situations. If your event is to be held in a large venue, or you have more than 300 guests, we recommend that additional sound equipment should be used. Always ask your act about their sound system requirements. Some bands & ensembles have lighting systems, but most usually will charge extra for this or recommend a third party supplier for you to use.
Frequently asked questions about Bands & Ensembles, how to register and how results are ordered are in the help & FAQs.
