About this Act
The Martinis are a high-energy jazz and soul band performing your favourite songs - with a vintage twist. Alongside a repertoire of classic soul numbers featuring the likes of Stevie Wonder and James Brown, the band will blow you away with their special jazzy arrangements of rock and pop hits. Think a 40s jazz cover of the White Stripes' 'Seven Nation Army' or a salsa rendition of the Deep Purple gem 'Smoke on the Water'.
Let their two talented vocalists serenade you with their dulcet tones while the rest of the band - including a storming six-piece horn section and full rhythm section - get your feet itching for the dance floor. Whether your favourite tunes are their soul and motown classics or their novel re-arrangements, one thing is for certain: the Martinis will make your event a night to remember.
