ACT PROFILE
Upbeat Swing-Jazz
You know what’s great about creating our acts? We get to build acts that we’d love to have at our events – without the compromises.
And with King of The Swingers, we know you’ll be as delighted as we are.
Toe-Tappingly charming, King of The Swingers takes the very best Swing-Jazz, and New Orleans Blues and then they kick it up a notch. Hear classic tracks from artists like Ray Charles, Louis Armstrong & Duke Ellington performed by some of the best Jazz performers on the market.
And if that’s not enough, we’ve taken newer songs and developed exclusively never heard before Jazz arrangements. All exclusive to Earcandy.
If you want your event to be stand out, we think you’ll love King Of The Swingers.
What You Get
Discover the things that make Earcandy packages go further
Earcandy
Disco
Package™
More than a ‘DJ Package’
Many bands or agencies will promise you a DJ package, but our Disco Package gives you more than what the other agencies typically provide. And there’s plenty of reasons to back this up:
Avoid Empty Dance floors.
When your band finishes their set the music should continue. That’s why we developed Earcandy’s Disco Package.
This is more than a laptop or iPod left on ‘auto-play’. Managed by your sound engineer, this is a continuous playlist, from over 3,000 of the newest and best-loved classic tracks. What’s best, unlike an iPod or laptop playlist, you avoid awkward silences between songs so the energy can continue.
Make Requests.
Another incentive for your guests to stick around and enjoy the party – just like a stand-alone DJ, you can make requests from our catalogue of over 3,000 tracks.
Either submit us your song choices before the day, or you can make requests on the day.
Guest Requests *New Feature*
You can now involve your guests early, getting them geared up for your evening. Opt for your guests to request a song before your event. All you need is their email address, and we will contact them on your behalf.
You get the final say on any requests and can make adjustments to the Disco Package set up, up to four weeks before your event.
Provided at no extra charge.
Our Disco Package is provided with most band bookings at no extra charge. Check your personalised quote to find out if it is included. Our Disco Package looks best when complimented by our Premier Package Dancefloor Lighting.
Upgrade to a Stand Alone DJ
Looking for something even better?
Then take a look at our stand-alone DJ for the ultimate DJ experience between band sets. with an expanded repertoire, upgraded equipment, advanced mixing skills and compering throughout the evening. All complete with Club-experienced professional DJs.
Entertainment
Coordinator
When you book an Earcandy Act, know that you are in safe hands.
Your booking is managed by your very own experienced event coordinator. They will help guide you through the things you should be considering when organising a band, and can help to make useful suggestions so that you get the best out of your entertainment.
They will liaise with your venue, and your other suppliers to help make sure that your event runs smoothly, without a hitch.
Sound Tailored
For your Venue
What is a sound engineer?
A sound engineer may be the biggest secret to an amazing sounding band. You may not know it, but most demos that you will hear from bands have been mixed by a sound engineer.
Have you ever been to an event where you can’t quite hear the vocals, or where you can hear high-pitched feedback? That’s normally because the band haven’t got a professional sound engineer to mix their sound levels.
Do I need a sound engineer?
If you have booked an evening band with more than three members, we always recommend that you book a sound engineer. Without a sound engineer you may risk both the quality of the sound and the safety of you and your guests.
Don’t let Sound Limiters risk your event
In order to control the volume of entertainment, many venues have installed sound limiters. Sound limiters can cut out the power to the band if the volume exceeds a certain level.
When you hire a sound engineer, the band has more control over their volume and significantly decrease the chances of the band’s performance cutting out due to the power being cut by a sound limiter.
Health and safety
Long exposure to high levels of sound may contribute to hearing loss and can be uncomfortable to listen to. A sound engineer has more control over the volume of their performance.
Can’t the band do sound engineering?
Some bands will offer to do the sound engineering themselves. This may be ok for acts with limited amplification, or bands up to a three piece. However sound engineering a bigger band is a lot more complex and a specialist job. It takes years of experience to master – this is usually not what band members are best at.
There’s also a practical consideration. If the band are behind the speakers they will not be able to adapt and adjust the sound through performances and will normally need to stop their performance in order to adjust the sound and listen to the speakers that are facing out to your guests. Depending on the number of guests in your room, the acoustic properties of the room change. That means that there may be no feedback, and the band may sound good when the room is empty, but without a sound engineer to continue to monitor and properly adjust the amplified sound, the audio quality can quickly deteriorate. That’s when feedback and muffled sound creeps in.
For the best experience, and the safest sound levels we recommend you always check that a sound engineer is booked for any evening act larger than a three piece.
Make
Song Requests
Depending on the package that you book, you will be able to have your own say on your act’s song list. That means you can personalise your booking to suit you and your guest’s preferences. Besides, we think your event should be personal.
Hand picked
Performers
Our staff come from the record industry, and so we know where to find those performers that are involved with high-level projects like West end shows, support slots for high end acts and session musician work. Unlike other agencies, we work exclusively with our own acts. That means we can offer a lot of work, at a fair price, throughout the year to performers.
The result? A higher calibre of performance for you and your guests.
How we maintain quality
We believe every event should be exceptional. That’s why we assign each act it’s very own Musical Director (act owner). Their job is to be responsible for the quality of performance and to ensure that you and your guests get a fantastic experience.
Unlike many acts who may rely on last-minute ‘deps’ if a performer is unable to perform at your event, we work with the West End Show model. This means that all our bands are made up of a small pool of handpicked interchangeable performers each who performs regularly with the act. Not only does this protect against last minute cancellations, but it also means we can access better performers who work in the west end and on high-level performances.
Each one auditioned and handpicked for their particular look, musical style and energy and they are all regular performers of our acts.

The only disappointing thing about the evening was that they had none of our chosen songs for the DJ in between. This meant that I needed to spend half an hour with them getting the songs in the system so we could get the music we requested on the second slot. Overall the band were super and got show more...

The Earcandy Difference
Discover what makes us different.

At the heart of every Earcandy act is a simple philosophy; Life isn’t about facts and figures. It’s about feelings. The moments that shape who we are, moments that bring us together. These moments are what we live for.
That’s why our musical team buck the trend and develop our acts entirely from scratch. They are a manifestation of our passion and collective experience in the record industry; each one designed to leave you and your guests speechless.
The result? Acts that redefine what ‘live event entertainment’ should be.

We don’t have thousands of acts on our books; we believe that you get better entertainment when we focus on developing a select number of the best concept acts.
Performers that are with Earcandy events are auditioned and hand picked by the Musical Director (Act Owner) and are chosen for their performance quality, stage presence and that ‘special something’ that makes Earcandy performances spectacular.
