We performed at the British Embassy in Doha, Qatar in front of Prince Charles and Camilla. It was a beautiful sunny day and we played in the garden as the royal couple walked around saying hello before firing up the dance music in the evening for the invited guests.

All the band members are professional musicians who went to music college and have many year of experience playing in the West End and other similar groups. Personally, I have had over 3 decades of experience playing and being band leader, musical arranger and composer.

Duke Ellington, Glen Miller and Count Basie are my favourite artists - their band could really swing and were are great to listen to - we play many of their tunes as well as the famous Sinatra / Rat Pack favourites.
