WATCH & LISTEN
See what all the fuss is about.
Real weddings, proper recordings and a few favourite tunes we’ve picked up along the way.
Some polished.
Some filmed on somebody’s phone halfway through a packed dancefloor.
That’s probably the best way to understand the Biscuits.
01 / A REAL WEDDING
Megan & Steve
A marquee.
A windy Shropshire hill.
A tiny corner to squeeze the band into.
And a very good crowd.
This is pretty much the whole thing in one video.
MEGAN & STEVE · CHURCH STRETTON, SHROPSHIRE
A real wedding with the Hot Jazz Biscuits.
02 / PUT YOUR HEADPHONES ON
Listen properly.
We’ve recorded a few different versions of the band over the years — from the party stuff to the quieter jazz end of things.
Have a flick through.
Turn it up.
We won’t tell the neighbours.
03 / A COUPLE MORE
More from the band.
Ain’t Nobody
One of those tunes we’ll probably never get bored of playing.
I Will Survive
One of our favourite venues. One of our favourite days in the studio. And a tune that should sound enormous. So it does.
04 / WHAT DO WE ACTUALLY PLAY?
Find your favourites.
Have a look through the songs and tell us what you love, what you’d rather avoid, and any requests that mean something to you. We’ll use those choices to shape the music for your day.
