Frequently Asked Questions

How much do you charge?  Our fees depend on the number of musicians required, the travel involved, the equipment needed, and the playing time. We tailor all prices to your individual requirements rather than having set fees which could be unfair. Contact us for a no-obligation quote.

How long do you play for?  Our standard prices are for either 3 x 45 minutes or 2 x 60 minutes, though we will be as flexible as possible to fit in with your event.  Breaks between sets need to be less than 60 minutes.

Which combination of musicians would be best for us? We are happy to advise you on the most suitable line-up for your event. As a rough guide:

    Duo (sax & piano/guitar) - ideal for relaxed background music, especially where space is limited. Also great for wedding ceremonies.

    Trio (sax, piano/guitar & bass) - perfect for drinks receptions and during dinner, or for dancing at smaller functions. 

    Vocals Quartet (sax, vocals, piano/guitar & bass) - hear great vocals whilst retaining a laid-back feel.

    Drums Quartet (sax, piano/guitar, bass & drums) - produces that classic jazz sound. Can provide background music or bring the music more to the foreground. 

    Quintet/Sextet (sax, vocals, piano and/or guitar, bass & drums) - perfect for large venues or as the main entertainment for an event.  Get your party swinging!

What do you wear when you perform? We usually wear all black, either suits or smart casual depending on the occasion.

Do you provide background music when you are not playing? We usually play jazz CDs through the PA or an amplifier between our sets.

Do you provide all your own sound equipment? Yes. All we need from you is a power supply.

Can you play outdoors? We are happy to play outdoors where practical. As well as a power supply we need cover to protect musicians, instruments and electrical equipment from both rain and direct sunshine.

Do you learn songs on request? Given enough advance notice, we are happy to learn your favourite song.
