From £600
Jazz Duo | Jazz Background Music | Modern, Soul and Jazz Jazz Duo | Jazz Background Music | Modern, Soul and Jazz

The Retro Effect are a Jazz and Soul duo to impress and entertain. The lead vocals of singer, Edward, are certain to make heads turn in what can only be described as one of the best male voices to be heard on the UK function scene. Backed by the sound of Hammond Organ and classic 60's Rhodes keyboard, their soulful vibe is about as authentic as it gets.

The band can adjust their set to work with any situation, either as chilled out background music or as the evenings entertainment. The duo also go out as a 4-piece function band performing covers from the likes of Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson and Bill Withers. So if it's the 2-piece or full band line-up your after, just send us the details of your event using the contact form below and we'll get back to you the same day with a quote.
