In contrast, if you are hosting a Gatsby, 20’s / 30’s, Lindy Hop night, Vintage, Latin, Arabian, or James Bond event why not let the Brian White Quartet set the musical scene with one of our themed sets

Further more, if you would like to have a vocalist sing for you, the Quartet can be joined by popular and much loved local vocalist Mark Labey for a set of rat pack and Sinatra tunes

I just wanted to personally thank you and your jazz band for Saturday evening. The feedback from my guests has been incredible and I will certainly be recommending you should anyone ask.

Wedding Reception
Brian and his band provided us with the most wonderful entertainment for our wedding this month. Right from the start Brian was easy to communicate and organise things with, they hardly required anything from us in order to come & play and where very flexible even when our plans changed at the last minute. We thoroughly enjoyed the music they played and would highly recommend them to anyone considering a band for a wedding.

Great Gatsby Themed Party
You guys were super, everyone loved you and you were so hassle free. Thank you for helping to make our celebration a great success.

Savoy Friday Jazz Night
I really did enjoy your playing last night - what a treat! I'm just a budding amateur who likes the trumpet but always seems to be trying 'this and that' in order to make progress. Your tone and technique were just superb and I loved the Miles numbers. You've got a really well integrated group, full of vitality and ideas and a sheer delight to listen to.

Wedding Reception
We booked the Brian White quartet for our wedding in June and they were absolutely brilliant! All our guests commented on how great the band were and they played a great mix of music in the two sets, which really got the party going. They were happy to accommodate any special requests we had, including playing in a slightly unusual venue in our case. Dealing with Brian was a pleasure from start to finish and everything was handled very professionally. I highly recommend Brian and his band for any event.

Jazz Festival
I recently hosted a Saga jazz holiday at the Merton Hotel, Jersey, at which The Brian White Quartet was engaged to play. This was a unique experience, being Saga's first jazz holiday on the island and also that we had not heard the band play before. What a wonderful evening we had, with the band playing a superb programme of smooth, sophisticated jazz to the audience's delight. The band was very professional in every way - with good time-keeping and performing to our specified requirements. I have no hesitation in recommending this band if you are looking for something special, modern, up to date and very entertaining.

Brian White Quartet,
played for Durrell at the EAZA Directors day in the beautiful globe room at Maritime House.
The icebreaker event was a huge success and guests from all around the world were thoroughly entertained by Brian and his charismatic band. They are incredibly talented, extremely professional and a delight to work with. I will not hesitate to book them again for further Durrell events.
Thank you Brian for making the evening so special.

Thank you so very much for playing yesterday. We all thoroughly enjoyed it and it turned a sad occasion into the celebration that Della wanted. The music you played was fabulous. Everyone commented that the music was a magical touch and that Della would have loved every minute of it. So thank you and please send our thanks to the rest of your band. I found booking your band a very easy and straightforward process with prompt correspondence from you.
