Our jazz bands are ideal for creating an upbeat, mellow atmosphere your guests can talk over.
If you’re looking for something more refined, our Sussex jazz bands for hire cover a range of sub-genres including gypsy jazz bands, jazz trios, wedding jazz bands, background jazz bands.

Our Sussex bands all come fully equipped for your event – it’s just worth getting in touch if you think your event will exceed 250 guests, as extra equipment might then be necessary. You just need to make sure that the band has a power source to plug in to and a space to perform!
We recommend a flat and sheltered stage area of at least 3x3 meters for a 3-piece band – then add an extra metre squared per band member that you have booked.
A raised stage is preferable for maximum impact but our bands are flexible to all kinds of set ups!

Our price promise means that, if another agency offers you one of our
Sussex party bands for a lower price or on better terms, we’ll match
their offer. And you won’t have to worry about hiring a separate DJ, as
many of our acts provide a free DJ service when they’re
not playing.
But the bargain price doesn’t mean you have to compromise on quality; our Sussex cover bands are the most gifted performers in the county, as well as being the most reliable, and are all strictly vetted before being allowed on to our books.
