We vary every performance to suit its individual needs. We will always liaise with a client to produce a performance that will suit your particular occasion.

THEMES—Our performances can be adapted to suit any particular occasion's needs. We are happy to offer choices of music suited to dance or concert settings. We often offer specialised "themed" performances; i.e. Rat Pack, Latin American, Music of Count Basie, Swing Jive, Sounds of the 40's, Ella Fitzgerald, Glenn Miller (in military uniform of course!) etc, etc...

 

SPECIAL REQUESTS—We are more than happy to include any particular favourite tunes you may have within our performance. However if songs are outside our current repertoire (over 400 arrangements) we can try to provide these at the cost of the new chart, or perform some numbers as a smaller ensemble...
