The Vespers

The act

The drinks hour at your wedding could find a companion in The Vespers' smooth jazz, with mid century pop and vintage country also in the mix. The duo can perform with guitar or piano, and you can add instrumentalists and backing vocalists to make a larger ensemble. You might keep the earlier music intimate and explore a bigger band for the reception, using their different styles to discuss how the day should sound. A five member format includes vocals, keys, guitar, drums and woodwind, giving the later celebration another musical combination to consider.

Good to know

What to expect

Two experienced musicians who've been around a while, with the Queen Mary 2 and the Queen Elizabeth behind them, plus the 2023 Matilda Awards, The Tivoli and the reworked Princess Theatre. The set changes shape with the event. Jazz for a formal night or a cocktail hour, 60s grooves, or a straight covers set when the occasion is casual. Guitar or piano keeps it simple as a duo. Add instrumentalists and backing vocals when you want something with more weight behind it.

On the day

At the simplest level it's guitar, mics and a small PA, all supplied, though a venue with its own system is better in a big room. There's a piano version of the same. Beyond that it scales to a trio or larger group, and at the top end a full band that can bring in trumpet, sax and clarinet, extra vocalists, even a small dance team.

Performance options

Four ways to book them. The smallest is the duo playing a single set of roughly 45 to 50 minutes, with further sets added as the night needs them. Step up to the trio and you gain a drum kit and piano behind the pair. The largest option is a five piece: vocals, keys, guitar, drums and woodwind, which is where the jazz material really opens out. Every configuration works on the same basis, a first set with as many following sets as your event calls for. Talk to them about which fits the room and the running order you have in mind.
