Jellybean are a five piece jazz band, featuring two singers, a pianist, saxophonist, and drummer. We play a lively mix of jazz-inspired music: from Nina Simone to classic songs by the likes of Gerschwin, Hammerstein, and Cole Porter, and taking in the ‘hard-bop’ of John Coltrane and Miles Davis. We love to play music that you can dance to - the girl from ipanema, simone’s ‘got my arms, got my legs’, our very upbeat ‘fly me to the moon’. We are intent on doing the tunes our way - though they are classics, they should never be cheesy - but above all else we want our audience to have fun.

Have a listen to Jellybean right here:

We are available to play at your event for a reasonable price. We have previously been hired for birthdays, weddings, by a church and a university, and on behalf of bars and pubs. We provide all our own equipment and are at home playing outside as well as in. If you’re interested, drop us a line: info@jellybeanjazz.co.uk, or phone Lucy on 07948 403155.

We played at the corresponding event last year, [...]
