Traditional jazz, early blues and ragtime give Slips & the FWs a New Orleans character you could introduce to your wedding gathering. Resonator guitar and vocals join trumpet, saxophone or clarinet, keys, upright bass and washboard within the instrumental mix. The musicians come together from Toowoomba, Brisbane and the Gold Coast, bringing a shared enthusiasm for those older musical styles. You might place that sound around reception drinks, with a band of five or six among the options and background music provided between live sets if you choose that performance arrangement.
Watch Slips & the F.W.'s perform and get a feel for their sound, style and fit for your wedding.

New Orleans, transplanted to South East Queensland. Resonator guitar and vocals, trumpet, saxophone and clarinet, keys, upright bass and a washboard, which is the instrument that tells you these players are serious about the traditional end of jazz rather than borrowing the aesthetic. It works for a casual event and it works for a corporate one, and the mood it puts in a room is closer to a hoot than a hush.
Room for up to six performers and their instruments, plus access to 240 volt power. If your site hasn't got power where they'll be playing, offsite power can be sorted, though that needs arranging in advance rather than on the morning. Outdoors, they need protection from the weather over the playing area. Wooden instruments and rain have never got along.
You can book them as a five or a six piece. A standard night starts at three sets of 45 minutes, with background music filling the gaps while the band takes its breaks, so the room keeps its atmosphere between sets. They can also supply their own sound system covering an audience of up to 200, which means a venue without a PA is no obstacle.
