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.

  • Dinner

    Live music through the meal.

  • Christmas parties

    Swing versions of festive classics.

  • Gatsby nights

    Roaring twenties jazz and swing.

  • Drinks receptions

    Elegant background music.

  • Client events

    Sophisticated and easy to talk over.

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

    Agree volume levels

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

  3. 3

    Check power and space

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

Many hotels and country houses have rules on ceiling rigging, fire, access times and changing space. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we will check everything before we confirm.

How much do jazz singers and bands cost in Reading?

There is no fixed price. Every event is different. Prices depend on the acts, the number of performers, timings, travel and location, so we quote each booking individually.

As early as you can. Friday and Saturday dates in December and the summer months go first, often months ahead. Short notice is sometimes possible, so it is always worth asking.
