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

  • Weddings

    From the ceremony to the first dance.

  • Drinks receptions

    Elegant background music.

  • Christmas parties

    Swing versions of festive classics.

  • Dinner

    Live music through the meal.

  • Client events

    Sophisticated and easy to talk over.

  • Gatsby nights

    Roaring twenties jazz and swing.

Tips from our team

  1. 1

    Choose the line-up for the room

    A solo singer suits a reception room. A band suits a ballroom.

  2. 2

    Check power and space

    Bands need power and a performance area. We send a simple tech sheet.

  3. 3

    Agree volume levels

    Background during dinner, louder for dancing. We plan it with you.
