About the Band

Band of Gold is one of the UK's top function and festival bands playing a mixture of mainstream and traditional jazz, lounge jazz, swing, bossa novas, blues and rock & roll.

For private parties, weddings, corporate events or any other special occasions they'll also play all your favourites from the 60's, 70's and 80's.

When Jeremy Huggett formed the band in 1997, he wanted a band that played mainly jazz, blues and swing, and a wide range of other music to appeal to everyone's musical tastes.

Band of Gold publishes its own regular newsletter The Auricle

The result was Jeremy Huggett's Band of Gold, and it rapidly became one of the most exciting, most popular and most versatile professional bands in the UK.

Whether you are looking for a band for a jazz club, jazz festival, wedding, private party, corporate event or any other special occasion or function, this Band is guaranteed to entertain and get your event or party off to a swing.

Why not be different and be the talk of your family and friends and have a live band playing for your wedding ceremony? Jeremy Huggett's Band of Gold is so versatile they have provided the music for weddings and civil ceremonies, as well as playing for the wedding guests upon arrival and at the wedding reception afterwards.

The Devon based band is led by young virtuoso Jeremy Huggett. A recent UK award winner for best reed player, Jeremy clearly demonstrates his skill and maturity on all the saxophones, flute, vocals and keyboards.

Jeremy is joined by the formidable rhythm section of Steve Dow on guitar, the superb bass lines of Tony Mann and the driving, yet sympathetic, drumming of Brian Clarke.

With the emphasis on entertainment, and playing at a volume sympathetic to the occasion, Jeremy and the band pride themselves on a professional approach to their music, presentation and appearance.

Although based in Devon, the Band is prepared to travel anywhere in the UK and abroad. Since its birth in 1997 the Band has been in great demand and has worked extensively at jazz venues, weddings, private parties and corporate events throughout the UK and Europe. They have also appeared at all the major jazz festivals including Bude, Birmingham, Keswick, Cork and the Old Duke Jazz Festival in Bristol.
