Oh La La! is a charming and sophisticated acoustic accordion trio or quartet, amplified according to your requirements. We perform instrumental and vocal songs ideal for listening and dancing to. Their huge repertoire includes classic jazz,"Musette"(Parisian folk music), "Chansons Realistes" (made famous by Edith Piaf) and selected pop tunes, which are listed in the sample repertoire list below.

As well as performing regularly in the U.K the Oh La La! musicians have played widely across the globe having featured in Europe, North America, Japan, Australasia and the Far East. They perform mainly French tunes, Musette music, impressionist music, Famous jazz standards and a little bit of Tango! They are music graduates of Guildhall, Adelaide and Leeds.

The quality of their music is reflected by the quality of the venues they have played in. Between them they have played all the major hotels such as The Dorchester, The Grosvenor and The Ivy, as well as renowned music venues such as Ronnie Scott’s, The Royal Opera House, Wilton Music Hall, The Q.E. Hall and The National Theatre. They have played on cruise ships including Q.E.II and the Belle Vallee gracing the Seine with their music!

They have appeared on Television: Top of the Pops 2, Holby City, Children in Need (Canada) and alongside famous names such as Gilbert O’Sullivan, Stacey Kent, Gerry Marsden and Tina May to name a few.

Oh la la have had the pleasure of playing before Sirs Paul McCartney and Bobby Charlton, Steve Coogan, Bill Martin and soon, maybe for you!

Great both in the background or to dance to - why not book them to roam around table to table at your event?
