So, you’re looking for that perfect band for your wedding…?
…a band that will get people dancing?
…a band with infectious energy and fun?
Rare Groove Ensemble is the band for you!
Check us out on our very own website – www.raregrooveensemble.co.uk
Here, you can see us, hear us, and read what other people have said about us! Why not get in touch for a quote?
But hurry…we’re booking up fast for 2009..!
We’re all looking forward to next weekend – that is 10th-12th October – as the band will once again have the pleasure of playing at the 17th famous Marsden Jazz Festival.
This 3-day festival has in the past seen national stars such as Humphry Littlton, as well as a whole range of local talent. There’s loads going on this year too, including saxophonist Dave O’Higgins as well as rising-stars Empirical.
Exciting times!
Empirical are going to be a must-see for anyone around Marsden on the 11th, and as they are during the afternoon, that leaves plenty of time to see the Rare Groove Ensemble’s sister-band Extra Curricular in the evening.
But…
…perhaps most excitingly of all is that the Rare Groove Ensemble will be performing in the festival at the Puleside WMC on Friday 10th Oct, kicking off at 8.30pm.
It’s going to be a great gig – this will be our third trip out to the hills, and we’ve found that the Marsden crowd are always up for a party!
So, if you haven’t heard us before, come ride the jazz-bus from Marsden town centre, and find out what all the fuss is about!

Please note that for this gig we are playing under our alternative name of ‘Dirty Boy Jazz Massive’.

Rare Groove go pro on the web…

So, what with it being the 1st June today, we are now well and truly into the wedding season. This is particularly relevant for me as it’s going to be my wedding in just under 6 weeks! Good times. And yes, I might well be playing at my own wedding…
Got lots of exciting gigs to look forward to. We’re thinking of new songs to stick in our set too…(and any suggestions are appreciated!)
After being inspired by the DJ at the Oldham gig, I think we’ve decided to get Curtis Mayfield’s Move On Up into our set, mainly because it’s a completely brilliant track! That’s one for our master-vocalist Thabo I think.
Got another Brand New Heavies track on the way too…Last To Know from their album Shelter. This track has what I consider to be the best saxophone solo ever played (on a coolness:time ratio) – you’ve got to check it out! The solo is something like 8-bars long, but…well you’ll see when you listen to it. Hopefully we’ll be able to replicate some of it’s party vibe.
So now we’re being splashed about all over the internet!
We’ve got a few things on the boil at the moment, but if you search for ‘bands’ in leeds, or even in west yorkshire, you should find a lovely banner with our name and logo all over it.
Check it out here!
Very exciting!
Should point out that our fantastic new logo was designed by our good friend Joel, who’s got a talent for that sort of thing. He’s done a fab job too I think.
