Reviews of Jazz Bands available in Athlone

5/5 from 1,981 reviews
Photo of Swingy duo Swingy duo "We were very lucky to have Alice and Fernando travel up the country and perform at our wedding. We had them perform at both our drinks reception and the after-dinner entertainment. We had given a few suggestions like to play some ‘summery rock music but in their own style’ as well as performing their own style of music, and they absolutely delivered! They are both extremely talented and it was such a unique musical act to hear at a wedding which was exactly what we wanted! We were so happy with everything they did and highly recommend them. The only downside was that myself and the groom were not able to just sit and listen to them playing as we were so busy throughout the day 😂" Based in Limerick, Munster (60 miles from Athlone) Ciara C - Wedding Photo of Bobby Mc and The Dukes Bobby Mc and The Dukes "Bobby Mc and The Jukes were absolutely fantastic" Based in Dunboyne, Leinster (61 miles from Athlone) Margaret Finlay - Suretank Ltd Photo of 8-Bit Funk 8-Bit Funk "Big thank you to 8-Bit for putting on a great show. The band were super accommodating, really well organized, very communicative. They did a great job of playing background jazz at a birthday and of course all the nostalgic gaming hits. Both young(5-15) and old(40 yr olds) loved it" Based in Dublin, Leinster (70 miles from Athlone) 22nd September 2026 Jonny - Birthday Photo of Mark Wilde Saxophone Mark Wilde Saxophone "Excellent music, brilliant performance.

Everything was handled to the highest standard — professional, organised, and with genuine dedication throughout. Her passion, commitment, and attention to detail were evident from start to finish. The level of involvement and care she showed made a real difference and contributed greatly to the success of the event. I would highly recommend Rihanna to anyone looking for someone professional, reliable, and truly passionate about what they do."

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring jazz bands is €600, with prices from €170 to €2,050+. The main cost factors are the number of musicians in the band, performance duration and the style of jazz. Jazz groups range from duos and trios to large swing orchestras, and line-up size has the biggest impact on price.

The jazz bands for hire cover a wide range of styles including swing, bossa nova, gypsy jazz, smooth jazz, bebop and New Orleans-style jazz. Some groups also perform jazz-influenced pop or Rat Pack classics. To get the best results, listen to audio samples on each band's profile to find the right style for your event.

Hiring jazz bands is a versatile choice for many types of events. They are especially popular for wedding receptions, cocktail hours, corporate functions, private parties and gala dinners. Jazz works well as background music during dining or drinks, and can also be the featured entertainment where a more sophisticated atmosphere is desired.

On Gig Heaven, jazz bands are available in a variety of sizes, from duos and trios up to full big band ensembles of 15 or more musicians. A smaller group such as a trio or quartet is ideal for intimate settings and lower budgets, while a larger ensemble can fill bigger venues with a richer, more dynamic sound.

Most jazz bands are self-contained and bring their own amplification for smaller to mid-sized venues. Acoustic jazz groups may not need any amplification at all for intimate settings. For larger venues, additional PA equipment may be required. It is worth discussing sound requirements with the band before booking.

Many jazz bands are skilled at adjusting their volume and energy to suit different parts of an event. They can provide subtle background music during dinner and then shift to a more upbeat, danceable set for the evening party. It is a good idea to discuss the event flow with the band so they can plan their sets accordingly.
