About The Dapper Chaps – professional swing trio based in London
The Dapper Chaps are a stylish jazz trio putting their spin on the hits of today alongside the all-time greats of years gone by.
We regularly perform at weddings, parties and corporate events in London and internationally.
So if you're looking to hire the finest swing trio London has to offer for your wedding or event, get in touch with us.
We're regularly booked to perform for weddings and events at Trinity Buoy Wharf in London and Berkeley Castle in Gloucestershire.
The group, which consists of trumpet, guitar/vocals and double bass, regularly performs all over the UK, overseas and at the hottest London jazz venues including the legendary Ronnie Scotts, 606 Jazz Club, The Jazz Cafe, Pizza Express Jazz Club and at Prohibition era/Great Gatsby-themed swing events.

The band's vintage look and sound allows them to transport your guests to a different age, providing a sophisticated backdrop whilst people chat, eat and dance!
Being fully acoustic allows the trio to roam: playing to smaller groups of guests if they are booked through dinner, or they can just set up in a corner and swing.
Between them, the musicians have picked up several prestigious Jazz awards and backed some of the biggest names in pop on their UK appearances on world tours.
A sample set list is provided below, but the group has a vast repertoire and is happy to take special requests as well.
Although principally a trio, the group can often increase in size where required for your event, e.g. to a 5-piece band.
Their standard quotes for UK events include the following:

Here are just some of the locations where we have been booked by clients on FixTheMusic for weddings and events...
When the saints come marching in
What a wonderful world
Bourbon street parade
It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing
All of me
Exactly like you
Ain't misbehaving
Basin street blues
Blue moon
Georgia on my mind
I got rhythm
I'm getting sentimental over you
Just friends
Lazy river
My foolish heart
On the sunny side of the street
There will never be another you
Yesterday's
Satin doll
sweet Georgia brown
When your smiling
The way you look tonight
What's new
Stardust
Mood indigo
A kiss to build a dream on
"Made a great impression on our guests having the swing trio perform during our wedding drinks reception. The band had lots of people dancing to them and was a talking point of the day!"

I hope they enjoyed the event as much as we did. Your assistance was very much appreciated and we have passed on your details to our guests. With kindest regards, Marrion Jolly (nee Kaye)."
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"The Dapper Chaps really made our wedding a day we will never forget, they were the main act performing in the evening and instantly had the whole room swing dancing from start to finish!"
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"I have known Mark personally for many years and have only ever known him to put 100% into every aspect of his music career so when my wife and I started to plan our big day, I knew that his passion and skill would bring something really special and unique to the day. We had the swing trio perform at our wedding and the guys were fantastic! Really set the mood for the afternoon whilst we were having the photos taken. The set list that Mark put together was perfect and really encompassed the feel of the day. Would highly recommend Mark and his swing trio for any event."
