Functions & corporate events
Functions
Weddings, celebration parties and golf club functions are our speciality.
For many the band is a wonderful alternative to the usual 60's to 90's pop covers band.
An example of the way we operate for a full function is as follows:
Reception - A light sound using a small group only. This creates a relaxed atmosphere with the music being unobtrusive.
Dinner - A background of music with the band playing a selection of swingy music and ballads. Once again all unobtrusive and very popular.
Dancing - The band is up and it's a brighter sound. Lots of 'Glenn Miller style' swing and a whole range of jazzy music from the Charleston to Jump'n'Jive.
Even though there is no "out and out Pop or Rock" our music appeals to all age groups and the dance floor is always full.
(The above is an example only for a full private function. The music for each booking is tailored to suit.)
Private Parties
Although the full band is 7 musicians plus vocalist, for smaller functions and parties we can also quote for a 3, 4, 5, or 6 piece. (obviously, with a few restrictions to our full repertoire)
Corporate Events
Themed evenings in a 20's 'Charleston' or a 40's 'Glenn Miller' style are popular.
With the band also performing as a Dixieland outfit, many possibilities are created as our repertoire and style ranges from the early Rags right thru' to the 'Louis Jordan Boogie-Woogie style' Jump'n'Jive music of the 50's.
An extensive programme can be arranged for larger corporate events and functions.
