ELITE SYNCOPATIONS is a Ragtime orchestra specializing in music from the Ragtime era - a golden age of Rags, Two-Steps, Cake-Walks, Marches, Waltzes and Tangos. The music performed by the band dates from 1896 to 1917 using traditional instruments in authentic Ragtime band arrangements from the period - as far as we're aware, we are the only band of its kind in the UK. The music we play is upbeat, tuneful, colourful, sometimes quirky and will provide a joyful and sunny ambience to your event, whatever the weather.
We're a flexible band meaning you can have any number of musicians starting with 4 players (piano + 3 wind) up to a full 11-piece orchestra (piano, wind, strings and rhythm). We can play indoors or outside and provide amplification if required. We will also provide an electric piano if the venue doesn't have one.
