Live Jazz & Swing Band, Harrogate
Harrogate isn't just somewhere we play — it's home. Frankly Jazz is based right here, which means when you book us for a Harrogate wedding or event, you're not getting a touring act passing through, you're getting a local band who knows the venues, knows the town, and takes it personally when a Harrogate gig goes well.
The Real Thing, Not a Playlist
We play genuine swing, Latin and old-school Rhythm and Blues — Cole Porter, Duke Ellington, Sinatra, alongside more contemporary numbers from artists like Michael Bublé — with the kind of feel and improvisation that only comes from musicians who've spent years actually playing this music, not just covering it. Whether it's gentle, warm standards drifting through a drinks reception or a full swinging set that gets the dancefloor going, we read the room and shape the set accordingly.
A Lineup That Fits Your Day
We don't believe in forcing every event into one fixed format. Start with our piano-and-vocals duo for an intimate ceremony or a quieter reception, bring in double bass and drums as the evening builds, or add saxophone for a fuller, brassier sound when you want the room properly swinging. Tell us about your venue and your day, and we'll help you work out the lineup that suits it best.
Weddings, Parties & Everything In Between
From hotel ballrooms to converted barns and country estates, we play Harrogate weddings throughout the year, along with anniversaries, birthdays, retirement parties, christenings and corporate events — including the office Christmas party season, when live music does more for a room than any playlist ever could. Being local means we know how these venues work, how the acoustics behave, and how to get set up without any fuss.
