Biography

Urban Blue Can Do It All!

From smooth, stylish, swinging jazz to soul, funk and party classics, Urban Blue can create a sophisticated atmosphere for your function or get the party started on the dance floor - and do it all in the same evening!

Urban Blue are the perfect choice for wedding receptions, corporate functions, private parties and more. Need something in particular - just ask!

Our talented, versatile musicians play with big names, from Dizzee Rascal, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and the Sugababes to Jamie Cullum, Michael Buble´ and Jools Holland.

Sir Paul McCartney personally chose us for his Christmas party and liked us so much he couldn't resist singing 3 Beatles classics with us.

We can of course tailor our performance to your needs - but on a typical evening our singer will open with a jazz set including such favourites as My Baby Just Cares For Me, Come Fly With Me and Summertime. Once you’re in the mood they’ll shift up a gear with pop and soul classics like Walk on By, Son of A Preacher Man and Easy, before really getting the party going with dance floor fillers like Mustang Sally, Play That Funky Music and songs from The Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin and James Brown. All your favourite pop and soul party tunes, given the Urban Blue flavour.

The band are happy to provide music between sets on CD.

Whenever quality music and high-class performance is required, Urban Blue will deliver everytime.

Testimonials

"Just a quickie to thank you so much for being so wonderful at our wedding - you were all absolutely brilliant and really made the evening! We have had so many of our guests saying much they enjoyed the Urban Blue experience and how lucky we were to have you!"
- Amy and Colin Henderson

"Listening to Urban Blue via the internet prior to booking, I was impressed. I thought if the band sounded that good through a laptop then surely the reality would be magical you didn’t disappoint.With 100 people from across the globe, a variety of musical tastes and some strong opinions we assumed we wouldn’t be able to please everyone with our choice, how wrong we were. The two sets were fantastic and met our requirements exactly, thank you for making the evening an even better one."
- Sinéad Moran, Sterling Commerce

"The band were absolutely fantastic! We were thrilled to have chosen you. Our reception went really well thanks to Urban Blue...great musicians, lovely singer - and friendly and helpful too. We can't thank you enough."

"We wanted to write and thank you all for the absolutely superb evening of entertainment that you provided for us on Saturday 17th of July. Our wedding day seemed to go so well, and you were such an important part of that. Everyone has commented to us just how much they loved your music. From the moment you started playing we were in no doubt that we had not only chosen the right and the best band, but had somehow found a group of people who fitted in just like old friends. You responded to our guests desire to have fun, which was amply demonstrated by the fact that the dance floor was busy all night. Both Kay and I are musicians, and we appreciate the hard work put in and pure talent exhibited by all the members of the band. We simply couldn't have wished for anything more."

"Pip and I are back from our honeymoon and reflecting on what an amazing wedding day we had. The reception was just magnificent and your music was the crowning end to a perfect day. Your energy and presence had the dance floor filled from our first song until the last guest left. So many of our guests commented to Pip and I how great the music was and how they hadn't danced so much in years. Thank you so much for such a simply amazing night of music!"

"As a professional musician myself I wanted only the best live music at my wedding. I knew of Urban Blue's reputation and I wouldn't have booked anyone else. Each and every member of this band is at the top of their game, and they all bring their energy, enthusiasm and a sense of fun to their performance. Their professionalism, range and sheer spirit provided an amazing atmosphere, not forgetting the music, which was nothing short of superb."
