Classic
tunes
We
have over 150 classic songs in our repertoire - many from what is referred to as 'The
Great American Songbook'. Click
here for the
full song list if you would like to choose the songs you would like us
to play - we can also add tunes if there is a particular favourite you
would love to hear.
We can
perform every song in a variety of different ways using influences from all our
favourite artists, whether it's the crooning of Bing Crosby, the
swinging sounds of Frank Sinatra, the cool sound of Dean Martin or the
more contemporary approach of Jamie Cullum or Michael Bublé.
We
also offer classics from the likes of Bacharach, Van Morrison, Andy
Williams and others (and ask us about our brilliant pianist who, with
his classical training, could play wonderful classical music at your
wedding ceremony or drinks reception).
Gatsby, vintage jazz, swing & jive
Planning
a vintage event and looking for that 1920s, 1930s, 1940s, 1950s
feel? We can play a great mix of classic tunes with that jazz,
swing and jive feel. More
on vintage jazz & swing here
Electro-swing
& jive
We
have played a range of electro-swing events over the last couple of
years and many of the songs we perform are great in that style - expect
that backbeat that keeps you dancing all night! More
on electro-swing here
Cool
and contemporary songs
We can
offer a second set which includes cool, contemporary and more funky and
groovy tunes -
get some inspiration here with some
of our modern and contemporary songs . Expect a taste of latin
& funk with a Stevie Wonder meets Austin Powers kind of groove -
Lord have mercy! More
here
Rat
Pack & Hollywood
Add
some Hollywood glamour to your event with classic songs from
Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. Cool,
classy, sophisticated and great fun!
We
can't help but put cool latin-jazz and touches of salsa and bossa nova
into our set list - it's just too good. Ask us to tailor the band
to this kind of music and if that is the feel you are looking for.

Acoustic
Jazz
We
often get ask to play at events or locations where there is no
electricity or there are noise restrictions. Don't worry,
we have the perfect line-up and equipment so get in touch and
ask.
Great
band & great disco
Hire
the band and disco at the same time. There are a number of
options including using the band sound system for your own iPod,
laptop, etc, or you could book the full Hipcat disco. Ask
for more information.
We can also offer use of the PA for speeches if
required and will also provide music on MP3 during any breaks. A
popular option is the facility of providing music on MP3 rather
than a disco being booked, or providing the full Hipcat disco.
Please contact us to
discuss your event and we will be happy to deal with any questions or
queries.
Also
you could:
-
discuss your wedding with us and how we could help out with the first
dance;
- ask
us about events and how we could help you with a PA for speeches, a
disco or background music if required;
- ask
us about our Rat Pack and swinging Christmas band;
