Set List/Services
We have a large repertoire of jazz, swing, Latin, rat pack, jump-jive, 1920s-1940s, trad, dixie, boogie-woogie etc etc. We have approx a 10-15min break in each hour, during which we play background music.
Our minimum set booking is for 2 hours and the longest we like to take is for 4 hours, but of course everything is negotiable so if you wanted Decent Chaps to play in the afternoon and then later in the evening, then all of this can be arranged and accommodated.
