Why book a jazz singer or band?

A jazz singer or swing band sets the mood like nothing else: relaxed and elegant through drinks and dinner, then upbeat when it is time to dance.

It is the soundtrack of a Gatsby night and works just as well at gala dinners, weddings and client receptions.

Where it works best

Christmas parties
Swing versions of festive classics.
Client events
Sophisticated and easy to talk over.
Gatsby nights
Roaring twenties jazz and swing.
Drinks receptions
Elegant background music.
Dinner
Live music through the meal.
Weddings
From the ceremony to the first dance.

Tips from our team

1
Agree volume levels
Background during dinner, louder for dancing. We plan it with you.
2
Choose the line-up for the room
A solo singer suits a reception room. A band suits a ballroom.
3
Check power and space
Bands need power and a performance area. We send a simple tech sheet.
