A range of line-ups to give you a party to remember

The Get Downs is available in a range of line-ups to suit all budgets.

Our most popular line-up is an 8-piece band featuring two vocalists, a rhythm section, plus trumpet and saxophone.

We can also perform in a 6- or 7-piece line-up we call The Get Downs Lite.

Our band really comes into it’s own when you book 10 or more musicians - and in fact we can go all the way up to a 45-piece orchestra!

All of our bands perform a great mix of swing, jive, soul and Motown music - to put it simply, the more musicians you book, the more flexibility we have with the repertoire and the greater the energy of the performance.

If you want to talk through the line-ups, then just get in touch - we’d be more than happy to suggest the best line-up for you.
