New Orleans Dixieland Band
The Sunshines Collective are extremely talented jazz musicians from in and around London. Their repertoire is built up from classics of the pre-bebop era of jazz. They can perform as a traditional jazz band (dixieland / New Orleans style), a swing band or a strolling jazz band. Inspired by the music of the 1920’s and 1930’s era, they can keep everyone dancing and toe tapping.
Audio Recordings
The New Orleans Jazz Revolution was sparked over a century ago by a new music that was full of joy, intensity and passion. They like to bring the same magnetic feeling to their performances.
The band consists of musicians, all with a diverse interest in many styles of jazz and other music, who between them have toured the UK, Europe and further afield.

Dear Graham
Liz & Colin
I don’t remember if I said it on the day, but just wanted to drop you a line and say thank you for the wonderful music you gave us on stroll through the park and drinks reception. It was the most wonderful experience and your music made it perfect. We were especially impressed with your colleague who carried the sousaphone. He must have strong shoulders!
Kind regards

Dear Pajani,
I just wanted to drop you an email to say how amazing the band was, managing to play in the heat of the weekend must have been tough. Please pass on our thanks the team and apologies that I didn’t catch them to say goodbye. I hope the volunteers looked after them ok?
It looks like you have not invoiced us yet, are you able to do this week? we only run payments once a month and if not this week it will be the end of July.
Good luck with the rest of the Summer
Thanks againBest Wishes

Dear Titus,
I just wanted to say a huge thank you for all your help with the organisation for the Hampton Court Flower Show last night.

Hi – I’m looking interested in hiring you for a wedding ceremony in central London on a Saturday evening (21 September). It wouldn’t be more than an hour. Could provide a quote for me?
Thanks,
Amanda
Hello
I have two parties coming up, both private. The dates aren’t set yet but they’ll likely be late October/early November. One will be in central london, one in the countryside near Cambridge, both on Saturday nights (different saturday nights). For each party I’d like two 45-minute sets contained within 2 hours. I know this is a little vague but can you give me quotes for each party for the following line-ups?
trio
quartet
quartet + vocals
I understand you’ll need to check your musicians are available etc, and that the exact address might effect your price, but if you could give me a guideline quote that would be very helpfull.
Regards
Ed
