Wedding Jazz at Thornbury Castle

The Hipcats jazz and swing trio was invited to play at a lovely wedding in the Tudor Room of Thornbury Castle.  Susan, the bride, felt the music would be just right and made a special request for 'Fever' as the first dance.  The band very much enjoyed being guarded by a suit of armour on each side as they played a mix of classic tunes for the guests at this wonderful venue once frequented by Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn - luckily no-one lost their head.

Ashton Court Afternoon Jazz

The Hipcats trio had a lovely afternoon at Ashton Court to celebrate a fabulous wedding.  The line-up of double bass, piano and vocals was just right for a summer afternoon and they played a mix of classic jazz, swing and latin to suit the mood.  Perfect with champagne outside in the sun!

Wonderful Wedding Jazz in a Yurt in Dumbleton

The Hipcats Trio were asked to play in a wonderful wedding yurt in the pretty Gloucestershire village of Dumbleton.  It was a beautiful day and the trio started off outside and then moved into the yurt (a large wood-framed tent) for their second set when they had everyone tapping their feet and dancing.  A lovely way to spend a happy summer's evening.

Sunny Wedding at Goldney Hall, Bristol

The Hipcats (www.thehipcats.co.uk/bristol_wedding_band.htm) performed at a lovely wedding at Goldney Hall in Clifton, Bristol and were chosen by Stephanie, the bride, to add some tasteful music to the evening.  The five-piece of piano, double bass, drums, saxophone and vocals even put together a version of 'Heaven' by Bryan Adams for the first dance and then launched into their classic jazz, latin and swing which got everyone up dancing and kept many of them on the dancefloor for the rest of the evening!

A quality venue and a lovely warm day for wedding jazz in Clifton.

Jazz reception and dinner at Orchardleigh

The Nick Langston Quartet (www.NLA.me.uk) were asked to play a tasteful and contemporary collection of classic jazz, swing and latin by Staci and Brad for their wedding at Orchardleigh House near Bath in Somerset.

The music was perfect for the drinks reception as the guests arrived at the lovely venue and the mix of piano, vocals, double bass and saxophone helped add to the happy atmosphere.  The band then moved through to the dining area and accompanied the food with a set of laid-back and popular tunes.

The bride summed it up perfectly:  "We had a great time and luckily the sun came out in the end!  Everyone really raved about you guys! Think it went down a treat!  So just wanted to say thank you very much and I'm sure we will see you again at some point!"

Bath Wedding - Jazz and Swing

The Hipcats were chosen as the band for a wedding at The Saracen's Head in Bath and performed a great selection of tunes with their quintet of drums, double bass, keyboards, saxophone and vocals.  It was difficult to keep people off the stage, let alone the dancefloor, as guests danced to a classic selection of jazz, latin and swing tunes.  A great time had by all.

Jazz and Swing at The Snooty Fox, Tetbury

Nick Langston and Dale Hambridge appeared at The Snooty Fox on Friday 29th June for an evening of quality jazz and swing.  Nick's choice of classic songs hit the spot for the diners in the fabulous restaurant and his top vocals were accompanied by the brilliant keyboard skills of Dale.  A great lounge duo doing their thing with just piano and voice and very much enjoyed by an appreciative audience.
