02 — The network

Born out of the Phoenix Arts Club.

The Phoenix is the late-night cabaret club tucked behind Charing Cross Road, where West End performers actually go after the curtain comes down. It is where most of our musicians met each other.

That is the whole roster. Working performers from a real London room, not a directory of strangers. You get people who know how to read a crowd because they do it for a living.

03 — What we do

Three formats.

The right music in the background changes everything. People mingle, conversations land, the room stops feeling like a meeting room. That is the whole job.

CORPORATE
Corporate
Friday socials, end-of-quarter drinks, leaving dos. Soft acoustic sets that make a meeting room feel like a wine bar.
[ OFFICE_SOCIAL ][ TEAM_DRINKS ][ CLIENT_EVENING ]
CONFERENCES
Conferences
That awkward gap between the keynote and the next panel. Live music turns it from forced small talk into the bit people remember.
[ NETWORKING ][ BREAKOUT ][ RECEPTION ]
AWAY_DAYS
Away days
Mid-afternoon energy dip on day two. A musician in the breakout room is the cheapest, fastest way to bring a tired group back to life.
[ OFFSITE ][ KICK_OFF ][ WIND_DOWN ]

04 — The acts

Pick your sound.

Every act on the roster has played a real London room. No mystery hires. Tell us the room, the crowd and the brief, and we will match you.

ACOUSTIC_DUO
Acoustic duo
Guitar and vocals, familiar pop reimagined. The classic drinks reception choice.
SOLO_GUITARIST
Solo guitarist
Instrumental fingerstyle. Holds a room on its own without dominating it.
JAZZ_PIANIST
Jazz pianist
Standards, light improvisation. Works hard for canapé receptions and after-dinner.
UPBEAT_SOLOIST
Upbeat soloist
Guitar and vocals, crowd-friendly set list. The one that gets people singing along by the second drink.
JAZZ_TRIO
Jazz trio
Piano, bass, vocals. Bigger sound for venues with high ceilings and bigger budgets.
FOLK_SINGER
Folk singer-songwriter
Original material and warm covers. A good fit for non-profit and mission-led events.
