PJ & Rose - A New Vintage Sound

(1)

Professional Jazz Duo (with female vocals) - 2 x 45 Mins Sets

PJ & Rose are a professional duo specialising in popular jazz and swing (i.e. Rat Pack, Ella Fitzgerald, Julie London - and many more of the old time favourites). A bespoke mixture of music from our existing library can be created by request, and themed events can be catered for too, including, 1920's, 1930's, 1940's/WWII and Country. We perform at Restaurants, Weddings, Private and Themed Parties, Corporate Events, Cabaret Functions, Fairs and outdoor events, Care and Residential Homes, WI and Active Retirement Group events - etc. Main vocals are provided by Rose, supported by PJ on Electronic Accordion and vocals. Owing to the sophistication of our equipment we can create a "big band" sound, for a fuller musical experience. The accordion uses digitally sampled sounds that are layered and programmed to reproduce any instrument in the orchestra, collectively creating our "big band" sound. We predominantly use very smooth jazz accordion sounds, tastefully mixed with bass, piano, guitar, organ and brass. In fact, most of our arrangements replicate the original recording as closely as possible. Our act is self contained in respect of sound equipment and amplification. The price quoted includes transportation and public liability insurance. All equipment is PAT tested. In order to be commercially viable and to be fair to our clients, we use the Musicians Union recommended rates for performances and transportation costs. Our base price assumes 2 x 45 min spots over 2 hours or part thereof. Additional performance times are available but they will be charged as an extra.

Recent review: The Solid Steel band played at our Engagement BBQ this Summer - really brilliant entertainment! All the guests immediately got into the vibe when they started playing. Great selection of hits that everyone knew. A really nice way to add something a bit different to your event which is both laid back but professional. Paul was very speedy with communication and also accommodated last minute time changes (due to the start time of the football quarter-finals!). Would definitely use again!

Recent review: Hi, they were amazing. Really lovely people, they arrived nice and early and we agreed the best way for them to set up. The set was ideal. A perfect blend of get-up-and-dance tracks with accomplished playing. They were endlessly enthusiastic, cheerful and engaging with the crowd. They were the center piece of our 1960s party and we feel lucky to have found and booked them. MANY THANKS!
