Watch
The show
Two decades of singing gets you a repertoire that runs deeper than a set list, and James Flynn's covers jazz standards, contemporary hits and songs he wrote himself. He sings in his own voice rather than doing an impression of anyone. The hosting is the other half of it. His MC work has taken him to the Singapore International Jazz Festival two years running, and to the stage introducing Gregory Porter, and he's hosted a long run of corporate events closer to home in Perth.
On the day
Setting up the instruments and running a soundcheck usually takes a couple of hours. That gets booked in at whatever time suits you and the venue, and it's normally done and dusted before your guests walk in. Sound equipment, a sound engineer and lighting can be arranged, though those sit outside the standard booking.
Performance options
The line-up scales. The Fly Little Big Band is the full seven piece, and it can be trimmed down or built up depending on the room and the occasion. Playing times, how long you want him on, and whether sound, staging and lighting need supplying all get worked out with you before anything is settled. Speech writing help and a personalised song are available too.
