One of the busiest function bands in the business! Over 100 events each year, specialists at weddings and corporate events, and monthly live performances! Classic soul, funk and disco grooves with a touch of pop and rock to give you the ultimate dance floor sound track. Formed in 2001 from some of London's top young professional musicians, the band never fails to impress with its huge range of performance options and repertoire. Scalable from 5 to 13-piece with a huge range of vocalist and brass section options. Think ‘Earth, Wind & Fire’ (without the costumes!) mixed with ‘The Commitments’ and a dash of ‘James Brown’ and ‘Jamiroquai’. Please visit our website for a huge range of audio, video, photos and information.
All of the musicians have an excellent pedigree, with most members having backgrounds in the UK's top music schools. Many of them have also been trained in the ranks of The National Youth Jazz Orchestra and now perform regularly in many of the top west end shows. The musicians are also very highly sought after for some of today's most popular recording artists and can be regularly be seen performing with people such as Kylie Minogue, Madness, Duran Duran, Jools Holland, Jamie Cullum, Lilly Allen, Katie Melua, Just Jack, Charlotte Church, Amy Winehouse, Will Young, Incognito and The James Taylor Quartet.
A selection of jazz/swing repertoire can be incorporated into the band’s sets if required, or performed as background music during a drinks reception or dinner.
