Vieux Carré Jazzmen
(it’s pronounced VEE-URR KA-RAY)
playing the popular music of the 1920s and 1930s

With a repertoire ranging from Louise Armstrong, Clarence Williams, Jabbo Smith, Clarence Hayes and all pop songs, rags, blues and marches, the whole spectrum of traditional Jazz is covered.
The band play with verve and enthusiasm taking the audience with them.
Easy-listening trio, quartet or six-piece trad jazz band, the choice is yours.
With our state-of-the-art Laney PA system we can perform in any large-capacity venue or acoustically in smaller more intimate settings such as bistros and hotel suites.
Apart from our weekly venues, many of our engagements are for corporate clients such as: Nexus, National Trust, Baker Tilly, Newcastle City Council (The Mansion House), NUFC, The Pension Service PTP, RNLI, Blyth Valley Council, River Escapes, Tyne Valley Community Rail Partnership, Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council, The Original Garage Door Company, AD Events, South Tyneside Council, and CGP Books (Eccle Riggs). The band is used typically for sales promotions, product launches, exhibitions, corporate entertainment and hospitality.
