Our guests were so impressed with the music; they played so much more than just the usual pop classics. With such a large group of guests to entertain, it felt like they played something for everyone – Celtic folk, Klezmer, Traditional Songs, Pop, Film Music… we even requested a cover of ACDC and they did it. Would definitely book again!
We play a mixture of European Folk, Pop, Classical, Klezmer and Jazz live background music for special events. With hours of repertoire up our sleeves, we can find the right music to suit the changing atmosphere of your event, taking you from a stately ceremony to a tasteful reception, into a lively party. Whilst we primarily play as an instrumental trio, we can also bring a caller and provide a Ceilidh to get everyone dancing.
Our speciality is Irish and Scottish folk, Klezmer, Classical, and being able to create bespoke arrangements of any of your favourite music as special requests. We’re all Conservatoire trained musicians who trained in jazz, folk, classical and composition, meaning we have developed a finely tuned skillset and immersed ourselves in the music we love. We love nothing more than to provide high quality renderings of traditional music, respectfully and skilfully representing these cultures in our playing. Similarly, our thirst for arranging, composing and improvising means your bespoke special requests will genuinely be something unique to remember. We love to hear about which tunes really mean something to you and your guests and give them our own unique twist. There is no request too unusual – we have eclectic tastes and love a challenge!
Prices are quoted based on time, location and requirements of your event but start from £700. We travel across the UK but are based in the West Midlands.
