The Ensembles:

Sue will create the band you need for your occasion. Here are some of the possibilities:

Solo: As well as being a singer Sue is an experienced pianist, and able to perform as a solo act for small scale restaurant or private functions.

Duo:  Usually featuring Sue's vocals with a piano accompaniment, although guitar is another option.  An intimate and flexible arrangement, perfect for smaller events or venues, or where a low key approach is required.    

Trio:  Typically vocals, piano and bass. Again, guitar can be substituted for piano, or a sax or trumpet featured instead of the bass.  The choice is yours.   

Quartet: Vocals, plus piano, drums, bass.  A classic combination with plenty of room for manoeuvre, from gentle background atmosphere to lively swinging  sounds.   

Quintet: Extra energy from front line instrumentalists.  Tenor or alto sax, flute or clarinet, trumpet or flugelhorn are all possible additions to the basic four piece band.  Ideal for when you want maximum impact, and have the space to accommodate it.
