Book The Blue Skies

Jazz Band

The Blue Skies bring elegant, atmospheric Jazz & Swing music to complement your event, night and day! Uniquely lead by Laura’s sensual vocals, the talented trio create a ‘Mini Big Band’ sound blending Andy’s tasteful guitar solos with Laura’s elegant drumming and Rich’s wonderful Sax/Clarinet sounds. The Blue Skies will delight and surprise your guests with a carefully selected variety of songs, bringing to life the romantic, glamorous style of an ‘Old Hollywood’ cocktail bar! Experienced, professional musicians, they know each event is different – and so can tailor the lineup of The Blue Skies to your requirements.

Both vocal and / or instrumental sets are available depending on your desired atmosphere. Perhaps you’re partial to some classic standards (‘All of Me’, ‘Summertime’, ‘Autumn Leaves’), or it could be that the Rat Pack classics are more your thing (‘Fly Me To The Moon’, ‘I Get a Kick Out of You’, ‘Mack The Knife’). Or will it be some Disney hits getting you on the dance floor (‘I Wanna Be Like You’, Everybody Wants to Be a Cat’, ‘You’ve Got A Friend’), or something a bit more modern (‘Crazy In Love’, ‘Get Lucky’). Whatever your preferred flavour of jazz and swing, The Blue Skies will be able to adapt to suit your event!

If you’re looking for that extra something special then there’s also the option to add additional musicians to the core trio of female vocals / drums, guitar and sax / clarinet. The The Blue Skies use a network of professional musicians that have been handpicked to tastefully compliment the core line up – previous additions have included sax/clarinet, double bass & trumpet – if you’d like to add something else the band can make it happen!

The The Blue Skies are experienced in performing ‘themed’ events, from Movies to ‘Great Gatsby’ and ‘Peaky Blinders’, they can dress to impress! Regular themes include 1920s, Blitz Parties, Old Hollywood Glamour, French Swing and Black-Tie Events – perfect for both background and gentle dancing/swaying and swinging the night away!

With extensive experience of performing at luxury hotels (The Ritz, The Four Seasons, Claridges), corporate events (HSBC, John Lewis) and private weddings across the UK, The Blue Skies are an exciting addition to any event!

TESTIMONIALS

Here’s what The Blue Skies’ clients said:

“The Trio performed at our Summer Party – the theme was 1930s which they absolutely nailed! They are extremely professional and very talented, the event depended on the right atmospheric music and I’m so happy we found them!”
– Imogen Crockford, Courtauld Gallery at Somerset House

“We booked the trio for a guest slot on our TV show – they only needed one take! They were very adaptable as we had the three of them in a small corner of the room, just a real pleasure to have met them,we are big fans now!”
– Dave TV for ‘The Joys of Tech’

“Thanks so much for today. You guys really were brilliant. Lots of lovely comments from guests. I don’t know if you could hear but Nan started singing along as you did The Girl That I’ll Marry. She was really touched and I struggled not to cry as she sat singing with you. So thanks for helping to mark her milestone!”
– L. Patman (100th Birthday Party)
