Frequently Asked Questions
Are your jazz bands based in the South West?
Unlike the many national agencies claiming to represent local South west acts, all our Jazz bands and musicians on this site live in the South West. Hiring a local South west Jazz Band is cheaper than using a national entertainment agency or London act.
Top Tips for Booking a Jazz Band in the South West
We know how misleading the South West events market can be. That’s why we recommend requesting all suppliers put in writing: 1) Where the band is based and 2) How they plan to replace the act if an issue occurs.
We cannot emphasise enough that locally there are a limited number of professional musicians and bands; out of county suppliers would struggle to cover a jazz act in the region at short notice.
Will I get the South west Jazz band members in the video?
One of the most concerning developments over recent years is national agencies and musicians creating high-quality videos showcasing amazing bands. They book one act out multiple times on the same date so the act doesn’t contain any of the musicians on the video. How do they fill the booking? in the entertainment industry, known as a “scratch band”, which in simple terms means supplying musicians who have never met or played together before.
Top Tips for Booking a Jazz Band in Cornwall
Any bands regularly performing in the South West will have numerous live videos and photos of local events. Don’t forget to ask to see a video demonstrating this and if they are unable to provide its a big warning sign. Finally, ask the supplier if you will be getting the musicians in the video.
