Looking for 3 / 4 piece Jazz band for Christening


ED - NAGAIUTB

Recommended Posts

I'm not sure if this is the best section or not, but I'm looking for a 3 or 4 piece Jazz/New Orleans type band to play for a couple of hours after a Christening in September. I was hoping to find the sort of group that I've seen on a Sunday at the Great Exhibition. I did ask the last time I was there but the guys were playing together as a one off so couldn't help.


If you are in a band or perhaps know someone who is, please either reply to the thread or via PM if you prefer.


Thanks!

Hi. I know a three-piece band called Without Words, "An incandescent piano trio" - John Fordham, The Guardian. As well as jazz clubs and festivals - and recently the Wigmore Hall! - they also do weddings, private parties etc. The double-bassist is a good friend of mine and lives locally. I'll find out what they charge.

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
