Stylish and charismatic, The Gypsy Tones bring the sound of 1930's Paris crashing into the modern world of contemporary pop! Suitable for lounging or dancing.

The band's unique busking style combines the sublime talents of three astonishing musicians (rhythm guitar/vocals, piano and double bass) to put a contemporary twist on a classic 1930’s gypsy jazz sound. Whether entertaining clients in a busy city bar or creating a beautiful mellow ambiance for an early evening event, The Gypsy Tones never fails to capture an audience.

Band members have worked with musicians such at Justin Timberlake, Mark Ronson, 50cent, Katherine Jenkins and Russell Watson, and toured the UK with some of the country’s biggest bands, playing events such as the O2 wireless weekend and venues such as The Clapham Grand. International performances include gigs in New York, Asia, and a recent string of gigs in Europe.

The band base themselves in the North West of England, but travel nationally and internationally to entertain wedding clients and corporate clients alike, who are looking for something a bit different.

What people say Help

  • The Gypsy Tones are a fantastic band and something a little bit different. Their style helped to set the tone of my Roaring Twenties inspired 30th birthday party while still keeping the music up to date and the dance floor full. The music was varied and catered to the many age groups present and was certainly not intrusive for those who wanted to have a conversation while others danced the night away. Many of my guests commented on how original and talented the band were, some even wishing they could purchase a CD. Rob and the guys were very polite and professional throughout the evening and kept my guests and I very much entertained, I can't thank them enough for travelling so far to attend and helping to make the night so memorable and fun. I've already been recommending The Gypsy Tones and of course Function Central, who helped to ensure I had all the information I needed, made the booking process go so smoothly and kept me informed throughout, I can't thank you all enough and I will certainly be in touch again for any future events.


    Thanks again to you and your colleagues for helping to make my landmark birthday very memorable and I hope to deal with you again in the future.

  • Just wanted to thank you so much for your fantastic performance at our wedding this year at Arley Hall. Everyone had an amazing time, and your music throughout the day and into the evening was just superb! Having you play as I walked down the aisle was a personnel highlight and people are still talking about how good you guys were!
