Customer questions
What do your clients love most about your performances?
Our professionalism and how we add a sophisticated air to the background of events.
Which venues have you performed at in the past?
The collective is comprised of professional session musicians from London and the South of England who have played in the some of the best Jazz clubs in London including, Ronnie Scott's, The Vortex Jazz Club, and the 606 club to name a few.
Will the singer be the same as who I see in the videos?
The singer as seen on the video will be the same for the performances. The instrumentalists will usually be the same as well but I do have a collective of professional dep musicians to step in if one of the usual band members cannot make it.
Do you have different line-up options?
Absolutely we range from a single piano player to a full septet the core band consists of piano, bass, drums, and a vocalist. a Horn section including trumpet, flute and saxophone can be added in if you require.
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
We will strive to be as flexible as possible for you so if timings do change on the day we will work round your needs.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
Absolutely, in between sets we have a playlist sorted and you may also use the PA to make speeches if needs be!
How much time do you need to set up?
We usually like to be set up between 1 - 2 hours before the performance time. As soon as we have the PA set up we prefer to do a short soundcheck to ensure everything is levelled correctly then we will leave instruments in the performance area until it is time to play.
Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?
Absolutely, as well as the standard sample set list shown on our profile the band leader can discuss with you any additions to the set list you may require/tweaking the mood you want to set during the performance.
Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?
Our PA is included in the quote we do not have a lighting system so cna set up in a small area.
Can you learn song requests before the event?
We our happy to take requests and will most likely already know the song. If not we can learn it ahead of the event and do our own jazz cover.
