Swing & Jazz Band for Corporate Events & Christmas Parties
A playlist can fill a room with noise. A live band changes the whole feel of the evening — and nowhere is that more true than at a Christmas party or corporate event, where you want something that feels like an occasion, not just background noise while people wait for the food. Frankly Jazz brings genuine live swing, jazz and Rhythm and Blues to corporate events and Christmas parties across Yorkshire and the Northeast, and we know exactly how to read a room full of colleagues who've had a couple of drinks and are ready to let their hair down.
Music That Works the Whole Evening
We build the set around how your event actually unfolds. That usually means warm, easy standards during the drinks reception and dinner — the kind of music people can talk over comfortably — building into a full swinging set once the tables are cleared and people want to dance. Cole Porter, Duke Ellington, Sinatra, Michael Bublé — songs everyone half-knows and nobody can resist once the band gets going. We'll always talk through your running order in advance so the music lands exactly when you need it to.
A Lineup to Suit Your Event and Budget
Not every event needs (or can fit) a full band. Our piano-and-vocals duo works beautifully for a smaller office gathering or a drinks reception, while adding double bass, drums and saxophone gives you the fuller, brassier sound of a proper swing band for a bigger do with a dancefloor. We'll help you work out what fits your venue, your numbers and your budget — no pressure to book more than you need.
Professional, Reliable, No Surprises
We know corporate events run to a schedule, and venues have their own rules about load-in times, sound levels and space. We turn up on time, set up efficiently and without fuss, and work smoothly alongside your venue's team or event planner — you won't be chasing us for details or troubleshooting equipment on the night. If you're booking through an events company or a PA, we're used to working directly with organisers rather than just the person attending on the night.
Book Early for December
Christmas party dates are the first to disappear from our diary every year — often booked up months in advance, sometimes as early as the summer before. If you're planning your office Christmas party or a corporate event at any time of year, get in touch as early as you can with your date, venue and rough guest numbers, and we'll let you know what's possible and what it'll cost. Call us on 07891509052, or send a message and we'll get straight back to you.
