The act
The room takes on that warm, supper-club feel when James Flynn is singing jazz classics, especially if you want your wedding to lean a little more grown-up than rowdy. He's a Perth-based jazz singer who has spent two decades building a repertoire that stretches from jazz standards to contemporary songs and his own original material. That makes sense for canapes, dinner or any part of the night where you'd like proper live vocals, and he's also an MC and host if you'd like one person to help carry the room through speeches and formalities. The practical details can be worked through around playing time, performance length, ensemble size, and whether sound, stage or lighting are needed. His hosting work includes two consecutive years at the Singapore International Jazz Festival and introducing Gregory Porter in Singapore.

Good to know
What to expect
Two decades of singing gets you a repertoire that runs deeper than a set list, and James Flynn's covers jazz standards, contemporary hits and songs he wrote himself. He sings in his own voice rather than doing an impression of anyone. The hosting is the other half of it. His MC work has taken him to the Singapore International Jazz Festival two years running, and to the stage introducing Gregory Porter, and he's hosted a long run of corporate events closer to home in Perth.
On the day
Setting up the instruments and running a soundcheck usually takes a couple of hours. That gets booked in at whatever time suits you and the venue, and it's normally done and dusted before your guests walk in. Sound equipment, a sound engineer and lighting can be arranged, though those sit outside the standard booking.
Performance options
The line-up scales. The Fly Little Big Band is the full seven piece, and it can be trimmed down or built up depending on the room and the occasion. Playing times, how long you want him on, and whether sound, staging and lighting need supplying all get worked out with you before anything is settled. Speech writing help and a personalised song are available too.
Insurance and paperwork
