About

Cover a wide range of musical styles tailored for each individual client. The emphasis is always on fun and a good performance to keep everybody dancing and engaged. We do our best to create a party/happy atmosphere so everybody’s always having a great time.

Music covers the great early 20s/30s jazz age including Louis Armstrong, Cab Calloway, to 40s swing such as Frank Sinatra and a Glenn Miller Medley, to 50s legends such as Nat King Cole, Bobby Darin and Rat Pack.

We also love to play music from the 60s era including Tom Jones, Barry Manilow, Status Quo, The Specials, JK and more.

We will do our very best to provide a tailored, bespoke performance.

All the band members have decades of performance experience with a history of playing in a wide selection of styles from small jazz combos, big band and function bands playing a wide range of musical styles.

All the musicians are of a professional standard with both good reading and improvisational skills.
