The band can be expanded to include saxophone, bass, guitar and brass if required. The smallest format of the band is a duo featuring Ed and Craig on vocals and keyboards.

Ed feels that an ideal combination for most functions is a four piece band, including a saxophone.
They can be an unobtrusive, cocktail party style act, or more upbeat, as the main act at a wedding or function. They play a mixture of jazz, swing, Latin classics, with some more contemporary songs performed with unique swing twist.
