Guide to hire a Jazz/Swing band
Whether you require Traditional/Dixieland band or a black tie jazz or swing band for a champagne reception or a Dinner party Charm Music offers a wide selection of band line-ups depending upon your occasion.
For background music or a smaller party we recommend our Duo's, Trio's or Quartets.
Select the line-up that suits your requirements
Usually playing either 3 x 40 minutes or 2 x 60 minutes, though we will be as flexible as possible to fit in with your event.
Most of our jazz and swing bands are happy to play outdoors where practical during a champagne reception provided they are adequately protected from the elements (including sunshine) and it is safe to do so e.g. power sources are protected, level surfaces etc.
Depending on the line-up and access it usually takes most jazz and swing bands about 40 minutes to set up but they like to aim to arrive an hour and a half before a performance giving plenty of time to set up and change before playing..
For wedding receptions, bands will normally set up once speeches are completed and the room is being cleared
