Band Options

We can adapt the line up to suit your event and budget, As you add more horns, the sound becomes richer and fuller.

• Quintet - Featuring male vocal, rhythm section, and 1 horn
• 6 piece - Featuring male vocal, rhythm section and a 2 piece horn section
• 7 piece - Featuring male vocal, rhythm section and a 3 piece horn section
• 9 piece - Featuring male vocal, rhythm section and a 5 piece horn section

We can also add extra female vocals to each band size to extend the repertoire even further.

An ideal formula is to set the mood in the first part of the evening with a couple of sets of Swing, Rat Pack and Big Band classics, followed by a Classic Soul and Pop set to really get the party cooking! 

The Stirling Austin Quartet (piano, vocals, bass, drums)

Ideal for smaller, more intimate gatherings to create a sophisticated and mellow atmosphere in the style of Tony Bennett and Burt Bacharach, allowing you and your guests to talk & be heard whilst still getting people on the dance floor!

Ideal for events where the Soul/Pop repertoire is not required.

Vocal Duo/Trio with Piano/Bass

Stirling can also perform solo with a simple Piano/Bass accompaniment. This option is ideal when background music is required for a reception or cocktail event. This line-up can also be included as an introduction to an evening, for example before the band plays or as guests are arriving.

Auto DJ Disco (optional)

Between sets and when the band stops playing you can continue the music with our Auto DJ Disco service.
