The Rest Of The Band
To make sure we have the very best talent, we circulate events to the best musicians we have available. This also allows us to improve flexibility with the musicians and yourselves plus it makes sure we have the most suitable musicians to the genres selected on your event. All musicians are rigorously vetted by the Musical Director to ensure quality and rehearse together either remotely or in person.
