Click on the name of any of our bands on the left for a short description and to access demo tracks and repertoire lists.

Some general information which applies across the board:
• They will play for up to 3 hours plus breaks - a break at least every hour is required to keep the performance quality as high as possible.
• During breaks, we have CDs mixed together to fit in with the repertoire and ensure that there's no lull. If you have your own music or a DJ, that's fine.
• You can add musicians to any of our bands. They sound great just as they are, but some people like to have, for example, a female backing singer to go with a male lead and to take over on songs which were made popular by a female voice. Keyboards and saxophone are also popular choices. Whatever you want, we can almost certainly arrange it. All the way up to a twelve piece with strings and horns.
• We like requests. They keep us up to date, expand our range and allow our set lists to evolve in line with real demand. The only thing we ask is plenty of time to learn and rehearse. We are very busy and we won't play a new song for the first time at your function.
• Fancy yourself as a bit of a singer, or do you have a talented friend? Let us know in advance and we'd be happy to have them come up on stage and join in.

If you'd like some instrumental music during the afternoon, before the evening entertainment, we can have a trio from the evening band play jazz-swing standards while the guests mingle and chat. This is becoming increasingly popular and keeps the atmosphere bubbling along nicely.
