The programme
Blues, soul, jazz, rock and the great evergreens — arranged into an arc that carries an audience from the first note to the last. Consistently high-quality music with character — always performed with professional musicians.
Every event gets its own dramaturgy: quiet jazz for the reception, warmer soul over dinner, the big numbers for the highlight of the evening. Song requests are welcome.
