Everything from all Jazz crooners to Ed Sheeran style upbeat songs, Ciaran has a voice that can do it all. I would absolutely work with Ciaran again and fully intend to." Based in St Albans, England (155 miles from Exeter) Sarah Stratford - Private Event Booker Photo of L'Esprit du Jazz L'Esprit du Jazz "“L’Esprit du Jazz, accordionist Karen Street’s quartet in a pleasing set of tightly arranged swing and jazz. The music ranged from Galliano musette tunes to Scottish folk style and a smoky rendition of The Way You Look Tonight from bass-playing vocalist Charlie Pyne.” Bath Festival" Based in London, England (157 miles from Exeter) 26th March 2026 Knod Knowles - Bath Festival Photo of Mat Vickers Bass Player Mat Vickers Bass Player "Mat is a stellar musician and a fantastic asset to any band that has the pleasure to play alongside him.
