Trio for dinner and dancing, then DJ Josie

Chris Gable joined Josie and Tim to form the Duke trio for dinner and dancing.

Chris added vocals, sax, bass and acoustic guitar to the line-up. We played over dinner, then opened the dance floor. Chris also performed Billy Joel’s “Just the Way You Are”.

Josie took over as DJ to finish the night.

“Josie is a true professional, she was a pleasure to work with from the moment we first enquired about Duke. We had already postponed our wedding due to Covid before we met Josie. She answered all our questions and gave us the flexibility we needed if we had to move our date again which gave us peace of mind. Josie was super friendly and made the whole experience fun and relaxed. Everything ran so smoothly music wise on the day. Duke set the tone for our ceremony with a beautiful selection of acoustic songs combining our favourites with tunes they selected that fit beautifully. At the reception Josie and the crew read the room really well to keep the good vibes and dancing flowing all through the night to the very last song. All our guests commented on how fantastic the band were. Loved the saxophone!! Nailed the Billy Joel song we chose for our first dance. And hearing him playing the violin in Runaway by the Corrs… that was very cool. Thank you for helping make our wedding the best day ever.”
