The act
For an evening with a swinging, vintage feel, B# gives you music that can reach from the thirties through to later dance eras. The repertoire includes lounge jazz and salsa alongside funk, with artists such as Peggy Lee and Stevie Wonder among its reference points. You could choose a jazz direction for wedding drinks, then explore the horn filled dance material for a different mood later. That breadth is appealing if your celebration should reflect both a love of swing and a desire to dance beyond it. Band sizes run from three players to five, seven or eleven, giving you several versions of the ensemble to consider.

Good to know
What to expect
The repertoire is the selling point, and it's deliberately broad. Classic swing across the 20s to the 50s, from Cotton Club and trad jazz through to the mid century crooners and chanteuses, Sinatra, Dean Martin, Bobby Darin, Michael Buble, Ella Fitzgerald, Anita O'Day, Peggy Lee, Natalie Cole. Salsa and Latin with Tito Puente and Celia Cruz. Swinging 60s London through Dusty Springfield, Petula Clark, Tom Jones and Frankie Valli. Then horn filled 60s and 70s groove and funk, Earth Wind and Fire, Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, Barry White, James Brown, Sam Cooke, the Jackson 5. There's rock and roll in there too, plus Broadway, cocktail and lounge jazz, Vegas cabaret, and play ons and stings for formalities.
On the day
A stage area big enough to hold the band, and PA equipment to match whichever size you've booked. They come in earlier in the day to build their stage components, so venue access well before guests arrive is the main thing to arrange.
Performance options
The band comes in several sizes, so pick by the room. A full big band where there's space for it, or an eleven, seven, five or three piece where there isn't. If your venue has no sound system, they can quote separately for supplying, running and packing down a PA to suit the band size you've chosen: mics, speakers, mixing desk and playback for music between sets.
Insurance and paperwork
Public liability insured.
