Reviews of Jazz Guitarists available in the United Kingdom

5/5 from 536 reviews
Photo of Chris Flegg Chris Flegg "Chris is not only a highly accomplished musician, with fabulous guitar skills, he has a wonderful voice, and a great sense of fun. So happy to have him perform In our home, where he played a sang for 2 hours from an extensive list of songs old and new. We also enjoyed some light hearted banter with Chris during the evening. It was sad when it all had to end. No hesitation in recommending Chris for a personal or lively event." Based in St Albans, England 5th October 2026 Martin - 40th Birthday Photo of Roger Gamon Guitarist - classical/jazz/pop Roger Gamon Guitarist - classical/jazz/pop "Roger was brilliant from when I first made contact right through to the day itself. He played beautifully and made such a huge difference to our wedding celebrations. Everyone was blown away by his professionalism, skill, and kindness. A truly outstanding performer, thank you!" Based in Manchester, England 23rd September 2026 Laura S - Wedding Photo of Luminous Duo Luminous Duo "We booked the Duo for our wedding in Barcelona. Before the ceremony the Duo were incredibly helpful and flexible in helping finalise the set list for our welcome drinks and cocktail hour and the equipment they would require. We were also fortunate that the Duo learnt our first dance song, sending over a demo well before the ceremony so that we could check that we were comfortable dancing to it. On the day, both Nadine and Lumai were brilliant. They were exactly the style of performer we were looking for, with their bossa-nova sound setting the perfect atmosphere for our guests on their arrival and during our cocktail hour. We’ll always remember that we were fortunate enough to have a live band perform our first dance - thank you so much for making this happen!" Based in London, England 19th September 2026 Grace and Tom - Wedding Photo of Eugene Moore Eugene Moore "Brilliant music for our 50th celebration, responsive on messages, prompt and flexible with our requirements- thank you!" Based in London, England 19th July 2026 Niloufar Nikpour - BIRTHDAY Photo of JSG Music JSG Music "We asked James to play classical guitar for our wedding ceremony, and we’re really glad we did. He was easy to work with from the start—communicative, reliable, and happy to accommodate what we were looking for. In the lead-up, he helped us think through the music choices without making it complicated, which we really appreciated. On the day itself, his playing was beautiful and set exactly the right tone for the ceremony. It added something special without ever feeling over the top, and it fit naturally into the moment. A number of our guests mentioned how much they enjoyed it as well. If you’re looking for a classical guitarist for a ceremony or similar event, I’d definitely recommend him. He’s talented, professional, and easy to work with." Based in Selby, England 3rd May 2026 John Guercio - Wedding 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 26th March 2026 Knod Knowles - Bath Festival

Frequently asked questions

Pricing for jazz guitarists ranges from £120 to £950+, with an average of £300. Rates depend on the guitarist's experience, performance duration and whether the booking is for a solo performance, a duo or a larger ensemble. Jazz guitarists are a popular choice for background music at receptions, dinners and cocktail events.

The jazz guitarists for hire in the United Kingdom perform a range of jazz styles including swing, bossa nova, gypsy jazz, smooth jazz, bebop and jazz-funk. Many also cover popular songs and standards in a jazz style. The jazz guitar has a warm, mellow tone that suits both background and featured performances.

Common events for jazz guitarists include cocktail receptions, corporate dinners, wedding ceremonies, restaurant entertainment and private parties. A solo jazz guitarist provides sophisticated, unobtrusive live music that enhances the atmosphere without overpowering conversation.

Many jazz guitarists offer flexible formats including solo performances, duo or trio settings (often with double bass and drums), and as part of larger jazz ensembles. It is advisable to discuss the best format for your event and venue.

For intimate settings, many jazz guitarists can perform without amplification. For larger venues or events with background noise, a small amplifier is typically used. Most jazz guitarists bring their own equipment. For the best experience, confirm the setup based on the venue.

Sitting in with an existing line-up is normal work for jazz players, who are used to reading charts and following a standard repertoire with little rehearsal. Agreeing a set list, or at least a shared songbook, is what makes it work. Where the other musicians are booked separately, say so at the enquiry stage, as it changes what the guitarist prepares.

A solo player normally works in sets of around 45 minutes with short breaks between them, and unbroken playing across a long dinner is quoted differently. Whether the music has to be continuous is worth deciding early, since it changes both the fee and whether a second player is worth adding. Most will say how long they can comfortably play in one stretch if asked.

A single guitar suits rooms of up to around a hundred guests once amplified, beyond which the sound thins against the noise of a crowd. For larger events players usually suggest adding a second instrument rather than turning the volume up. Guest numbers and room size are what decide this, not the style of music being played.
