Full Biography

Highlights
* Jazz Quartet ideal for drinks receptions, dinner entertainment & background music.
* Repertoire includes classics from the great American songbook, jazz & show tunes plus a healthy selection of bossa novas.
* Larger lineups available for a bigger sound.
* Trio available for smaller spaces and tighter budgets.



The Tivoli Quartet have played at countless weddings and parties and consider themselves connoisseurs in the art of reading a room and providing just the right music and feel for the particular event.

Consisting of Female Vocals, Saxophone, Guitar & Double Bass, the format is ideal to play in the background during drinks receptions and meals but you can add trumpet, trombone, piano and/or drums if you need a bigger sound.

Whatever the line-up, The Tivoli Quartet remain committed to the sound of the era, and will deliver a well-honed and polished performance, crafted by 7 years of experience as a band at home and on the road. Truly a class act.

The quartet's repertoire is mostly the great American songbook, jazz and show tunes, plus a healthy selection of bossa novas. If there’s a song you really love, give them some notice (1 week per song) and they are happy to learn it.

As a quartet the whole band fits into one vehicle, which keeps expenses down and it’s good for the environment!

Their sound system is top class, and can be set up or packed up in less than 10 minutes.
