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 Lady Gatsby Jazz Band aren't quite the right band for you, there's a good chance one of our other bands will be perfect:
Similar to The Lady Gatsby Jazz Band, this is a smaller line-up who perform sophisticated 1950s classics from the golden era of stage and screen.
Unlike Lady Gatsby, this is an instrumental band - it blends into the background of your event providing subtle, sophisticated background music.
A totally acoustic jazz band (unlike Lady Gatsby 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 The Lady Gatsby Jazz Band takes to the stage.
Looking to dance to the band? Check out The Get Downs, our swing and soul band great at getting audiences up and dancing.
