For clients seeking a touch of classic sophistication, we offer a range of big band ensembles capable of transforming any event into an elegant, timeless affair. These groups are built around a powerful horn section — typically trumpets, trombones, and a range of saxophones — supported by a polished rhythm section of piano, upright or electric bass, drums, and often guitar. The result is a rich, full-bodied sound that fills a room with effortless glamour.
Our bands can specialise in the swing era, performing music in the style of Glenn Miller, Count Basie, and Duke Ellington. Expect crisp brass hits, walking bass lines, and the irresistible bounce of fast swing numbers perfect for lively dancing. Vocalists, when included, bring classic crooner charm, delivering standards with warmth, clarity, and stage presence.
For those looking for something more contemporary, we also represent big bands who explore modern jazz, Latin jazz, film and theatre repertoire, and sophisticated pop arrangements. These ensembles retain the power and texture of a traditional big band while offering fresh, dynamic interpretations suited to gala dinners, awards nights, and upscale celebrations.
Some of our acts specialise in ballroom-friendly tunes, with smooth, lush orchestrations ideal for tango, foxtrot, and slow dance moments. Others lean into high-energy show-band territory, using the big band format to deliver funk, soul, and high-impact party music with a brassy flair.
Whether you want pure vintage elegance or a modern, show-stopping spectacle, our big band options bring scale, class, and an unmistakably grand musical presence to any function.
Prices can vary depending on the ensemble, setting, duration, and what you need from us. Because every project is different, prices can’t be set.
