February events round up: Jazz Vocalist.

We recently worked with Visit Britain on a recent James Bond event they hosted to celebrate the launch of the new James Bond film, ‘No Time To Die’ – the 25th instalment in the James Bond series. Jazz vocalist, Michael, performed a selection of songs from the Bond films including ‘Skyfall’ by Adele, recently ranked the best James Bond song. The event took place at members club, The Conduit in Mayfair, London.

February events round up: Bingham Riverhouse

Our DJ’s have been busy at Bingham Riverhouse again this month having been booked for some gorgeous winter weddings. We are preferred suppliers at The Bingham Riverhouse, and so our artists regularly perform at weddings and events there. It’s the perfect setting for a wedding, well worth considering if you’re looking into wedding venues!

Our artists also perform for their monthly live music nights. Vocalist, Clare Sophia, will be performing next, on March 17th.
