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.

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: "Wow, what an amazing band!! Monika has such a beautiful voice and the talented musicians on bass & keyboards were the perfect combination, playing such beautiful music!! I received numerous compliments about the band from my guests and I would highly recommend them! They were punctual, professional, very friendly and adaptable enough to be able to respond to the crowd, getting eveyone up dancing & creating a fantastic atmosphere!! We had quite a few swing dancers at the party and Monika was even willing and able to put a 'swing style' to much of their music, which was fantastic & very well received!! The Cool Groove Trio were the perfect choice for my party & I would definitely recommend them! (10 / 10) Emily"

Recent review: Daniel and his London Swing & Soul Band played at our wedding last August. We spent absolutely ages looking for the right band, and we were losing heart, until we saw this band in action. Simply awesome. The most amazing repertoire, which was great for us because our guests ranged from 4 to 84, and there was something for everyone, even traditional Jewish wedding dances (which we wanted even though our wedding was not religious in any way). Daniel supplied a jazz trio for the daytime (which was excellent), he played keyboard during the actual ceremony (and it was beautiful), then we opted for an 8 piece band for the reception, which was fabulous. So many of our guests commented afterwards about how much they loved our band. Three of our guests are professional musicians themselves, one teaches at the Royal Academy of Music, and one is musical director for the Ritz hotel in London, and they both said the band was fantastic. PLUS ours was a same-sex wedding, and it was important for us to feel comfortable with everyone involved. Daniel is really lovely, and it was a pleasure to have him be such a big part of our perfect day. Thanks Daniel and The London Swing & Soul Band - absolutely, unreservedly recommended, we could not possibly fault you in any way, Sarah & Sabina xx
