A jazz band to hire for functions
Functions cover a wide spectrum of events. Some might be corporate, but it could be a fundraiser, a charity night, an organised local street party, a store opening, a book launch, or on a grander scale, an awards ceremony, a diplomatic event at a consulate, a new cinema. You name it, we’ve done it, but the hallmark of a good function band whatever the style, is professionalism.
Repertoire & selection
We are a jazz band that play jazz standards and some jazz interpretations of some more modern songs.
We are definitely not a pop or covers band, so you won’t find us playing 70’s disco hits or something from the Top 40.
For private parties, most customers want good value for money, and if in a private house with space an issue, then a trio is a natural choice – either guitar, bass and drums or keyboard, bass and drums.
We can fit into small areas with a minimum of wires and amplification.
With the exception of repeat contracts and corporate payments, the outstanding balance must be paid on the day of the hiring, before the end of the performance, in the form of cheque, cash or credit/debit card. Card payments are made in person via the Sumup App and card reader and carry a 2.75% surcharge.
We work further afield and for longer bookings, but this will be reflected in increased fees in line with Musician Union rates for mileage and per hour rates. We use email as a contract and require a £250 deposit to secure our services. This can be done through bank transfer, Paypal or Cheque.
