Down for the Count are not an agency - we're a collective of 30 professional musicians who perform together in a range of different line-ups.
If the Hollywood Jazz Band aren't quite the right band for you, there's a good chance one of our other bands will be perfect:
A slightly larger line-up than the Hollywood Jazz Band. Lady Gatsby performs 1920s music (including modern songs in a vintage style) and can also play some music for dancing if you add drums to the line-up.
Unlike the Hollywood Jazz Band, this is an instrumental band - it blends into the background of your event providing subtle, sophisticated background music.
A totally acoustic jazz band (unlike the Hollywood Jazz Band, which requires power). Alexander's Dixieland Band can roam around your venue entertaining guests wherever they happen to be.
Subtle and unobtrusive, a cocktail pianist is perfect for background jazz music during dinner. You could also book the cocktail pianist for a "warm up" set before Hollywood Jazz Band takes to the stage.
