Jazz Bands in Norfolk
Jazz bands and musicians in Norfolk
Jazz is one of the most flexible kinds of live music you can book. In Norfolk it works as background for a wedding breakfast or networking reception, a set for a long dinner or an evening of swing and jump jive, and the line-up can be shaped around the event rather than the other way round.
Popular event venues in Norfolk include Manor Mews, Hockwold Hall and Curds Hall Barn, and our jazz acts travel to events across Holt, Great Yarmouth and Cromer. Wherever your event is, tell us the venue when you enquire and we'll help you choose a line-up that suits the space.
Jazz covers a lot of ground. Some acts specialise in Great American Songbook standards, others in gypsy jazz, New Orleans trad, Latin and bossa nova, or modern soul-jazz arrangements of pop songs. Listening to a few will quickly tell you which sound fits your event.
Hireaband has booked live music for events since 1999. Each jazz band on this page travels to Norfolk as standard, travel is always included in the quote, and the instant quote button will show you prices and availability for your date without waiting for a reply.
The essentials:
- Typical cost: from around £500 for a jazz duo to £2,500 or more for a larger band, depending on line-up and date
- Line-ups from solo pianist or duo through to a five or six-piece jazz band
- Background sets for receptions and dinners, or livelier swing for dancing
- Travel is included in every quote
- Every booking carries a 14-day change-of-mind refund
Room size and the kind of event decide most of it. A trio suits most receptions and dinners comfortably. A five or six-piece, with horns and drums, is the better choice for a large function room or a crowd that wants to dance. If you're unsure, tell us the venue and guest numbers and we'll suggest what tends to work.
Most jazz bookings fall between about £500 and £2,500. The number of musicians is the biggest factor, followed by how long they play and the date — a Saturday in summer or December costs more than a weekday. Travel is included in the quote you receive, so the figure you're given is the figure you pay.
Each jazz act's page carries real video and audio, a song list and reviews from previous clients. Watching a couple of clips tells you far more about the feel of a band than any description can, so it's worth listening before you choose.
The instant quote button gives you a price and availability for your date straight away. From there, we manage the contract and deposit and keep you updated until the event. Every booking is covered by a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and there's an emergency contact line on the day in case anything needs sorting.
