Couples who enjoy the stories around jazz as well as the tunes could find an interesting wedding companion in The Melody Makers. They play recognised jazz material and can include conversation and humour when it suits the occasion, giving the performance a spoken dimension too. Their presentations explore jazz history, from New Orleans and Chicago through swing and bebop to later styles, alongside a Jazz and a Joke variety show. You might consider that approach for a wedding gathering with time to listen, especially if discovering a little more about the music is part of what you enjoy together.
Watch The Melody Makers perform and get a feel for their sound, style and fit for your wedding.

Standards you'll recognise, played by musicians who take the playing seriously. Between numbers the trio talk to the room, adding history and a bit of humour where it suits the occasion. Their early jazz presentations, tracing the music from New Orleans through swing and on into bebop, have gone down particularly well. And if the brief is simply background music for a lunch, a birthday or a wedding, the talking stops and the tunes carry the afternoon.
The trio arrive self contained. A mobile keyboard, a compact PA and every other bit of gear they need comes in the car with them. From the venue, one power point is the whole list.
