The act
Saxophone, guitar and contrabass form the main sound of The Stromatolites, with an extra guitarist opening a path into a manouche quartet. Simon Charles, Jeffery Harold and Leon Pratt draw on early jazz figures including Django Reinhardt and Sidney Bechet as well as later influences. Their song choices respond to the audience and occasion, giving you a band that can shape its selections around the gathering. For your wedding, the time between ceremony and dinner would be an inviting moment for those jazz colours, as you settle into the celebration and spend a little time listening with your guests.

What to expect
Nothing is locked in before the night. The trio pick their music as the occasion unfolds, watching how the room responds and choosing the next tune accordingly. What you get is the toe tapping end of jazz, shaped in the moment rather than worked out weeks earlier.
On the day
Power at the performance spot is what they need, since anything amplified runs off it.
