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
The Deepnote Sax Quartet
Captain Redeye & The Hoods
"a gang of 1940s mobsters playing in a Las Vegas lounge..."
Forged in the gin-joints and speakeasies of Leeds in early 2001, Captain Redeye and the Hoods are purveyors of highly-refined vintage Gangster Swing, taking a heavy influence from the bands of the 1990s swing revival such as Royal crown Revue and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy.
Katie Mellors
Andrea Mann
Andrea Mann’s relaxed, smoky vocal style has been compared to that of Diana Krall and Cassandra Wilson.
But her repertoire of original songs, classic material from the Great American Songbook, Brazilian bossa novas and arrangements of pop songs, makes her approach to jazz singing unique as well as accessible and easy on the ears.
The Rat Pack's Back
Simply Swing
Simply Swing is a professional, experienced and incredibly entertaining swing band and wedding band based in London and the South East.
Creating a thrill wherever they perform, this band delivers a top-drawer salute to the music of Frank Sinatra and The Rat Pack, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat ‘King’Cole, Fred Astaire, Bobby Darin and Nina Simone which blends surprisingly well with the more contemporary sounds of Stevie Wonder, Jamie Cullum and Michael Bublé.
