Live Musician / Ensemble
Live Music, Held to the Room
A saxophone over a dinner, a pianist through a reception, a trio that lifts a room — played with the restraint the occasion asks for.
/ About the Role
We're after live musicians and ensembles who can read a room — saxophonists, pianists, vocalists, string players and DJ-hybrid acts for private and corporate events across London.
You'll play for the house occasion by occasion — a saxophone over dinner, a trio that lifts a reception, an act that takes a room into the night. You can play background and bring a room to its feet, and you know which the moment needs. The occasion stays the point; you make it feel alive.
/ What You’ll Do
- Play sets tailored to the occasion — solo, as an ensemble, or alongside a DJ
- Read the dinner, lift the drinks reception, then own the dancefloor
- Adapt repertoire, volume and energy as the night moves
- Work with the event lead, the venue and production on staging, sound and timings
- Turn up self-sufficient — your instrument, your backline, your backups
- Keep to time and set length, and stay composed whoever’s in the room
/ Who You Are
We care more about how you read a room than the length of your set list. That said, here's what makes a strong fit:
- An accomplished musician with experience at private events or luxury hospitality
- The versatility to serve the occasion over the spotlight
- A repertoire that crosses jazz, soul, contemporary and Mediterranean
- Reliable in soundcheck as well as on stage
- Free for evenings and weekends across the London events calendar
- Acts that pair live instruments with a DJ are welcome
/ What We Offer
A profile on the collective, free of charge — your work presented to the private and corporate clients who come to the house, with your own website and Instagram linked from your page.
And qualified leads for your kind of work: when a brief calls for live music, it comes to you. Pay is agreed for each engagement.
