LONDON JAZZ IN SPRING 2010

Greetings, and hello to all of our City Jazz clients from the beginning of the year, through spring, and now as we launch full ahead into the summer. We’ve been completely maxed out as ever, serving London with a steady flow of fresh jazz music for birthdays, weddings and corporate dos.

A massive congratulations to all of our jazz wedding clients so far this year. There’s nothing like the sound of swinging London jazz band to get things going, and we’ve been all over the place, including Burhill Golf Club, Carvasso’s in Chiswick, The Mandarin Oriental and a number of private residencies.

We’ve also had a real mix of corporate and private functions and events, including retirement parties on the Thames, and for a member the RMT rail union (Bob Crowe is now our biggest fan!) in a pub in Euston. In addition, our London jazz musicians have played at many corporate conferences and award ceremonies, including venues such as The Dorchester, The Millenium Hotel, The Royal Garden Hotel Kensington, and the Winchester Club in Putney.

We love playing for shop launches, and were delighted to be invited to the Conran store in Chelsea to launch their summer season, despite most of the shop being out of the average jazz musician’s price range! Ikea is normally our first port of call! I have to say though, Conran had some simply beautiful things and sales seemed to be buoyed by our atmospheric jazz performances, in what is a stunning building in West London. They opted for the jazz trio featuring sax, guitar and double bass, and we have promised repeat bookings in the future after the success of this event.

Our final thanks go to our charitable events of the year so far, including a James Bond themed ball in London Bridge for Leukaemia Research, and the launch of a new Children’s centre in West London. We often provided a reduced rate for charity balls and functions in London, so if it’s jazz you’re after for your fundraiser, please do get in touch! The Casino Royale theme featured smooth yet sassy vocals from Elizabeth.
