Our Approach
The band is set up to be like a traditional 1920s community string band that can adapt to the surroundings and make music that helps mark all kinds of special occasions. We do this by having a range of popular 1920s, 30s & 40s songs in many styles and picking the right stuff as the night goes on. Be it a raucous set of well-known songs at a wedding that gets the dance floor full or doing a seated show to a listening audience in a theatre or blues club. The band has all PA, lighting, liability insurances and electrical test certificates, so is set up to work in any venue and meet regulations. Favourite artists whose material we interpret include; Louis Armstrong, Hank Williams, Professor Longhair, Blind Boy Fuller, Duke Ellington and Robert Johnson. Many well known songs are in the set and these include; ‘I’ve Got Rhythm’, ‘Shake Rattle & Roll’, ‘Hey Good Looking’ ‘Rag Mama Rag’ and ‘It Don’t Mean A Thing (If It Ain’t Got That Swing)’. We have a long list of testimonials going back a decade so get in touch to ask about your event or venues needs and please do check out the excellent feedback we have. We love helping people plan their event and figuring how best we can fit in.
