String Theory

Jazz & Swing

  • North West (willing to travel)

Biography

String Theory are a wonderfully chaotic gypsy jazz band, performing your favourite pop, soul and rock classics in their own inimitable style.

Formed back in 2014, they started out as a guitar duo but quickly made an impact in the North West and expanded their line-up into a variety of combos that now includes vocals, bass, drums and divine harmonies.

Renowned for their frantic energy and heavily improvised live shows mixed with intricately arranged medleys, String Theory are guaranteed to bring a highly unique and memorable performance to your wedding.

As well as barnstorming evening sets, the band are happily and readily available for hire as a more traditional background music act for daytime/garden receptions.

Reviews

We can't thank String Theory enough. We wanted something different, something unique, and these guys fully delivered. Hearing all those classic pop bangers in this style was just so much fun, everyone knew all the songs but they are DIFFERENT! It was like all our dreams coming true, and we can't stop reminiscing and watching the videos back. Thank you so much.

The energy String Theory brought to our wedding was unbelievable. They are such lovely people, then they go on stage and BANG! Something special happens. I've never really seen anyone like them and it's their unique nature that will ensure our wedding lives long in the memory of everyone present. Our gratitude knows no bounds!

We weren't really sure exactly what we wanted when we began scouting for a band. When we saw String Theory online it piqued our interest...is THIS what we're looking for? Is it this?! YES IT IS! They are absolutely amazing and were a perfect fit for our wedding, which was pretty offbeat and quirky. We feel blessed to have found them, truly blessed. Thank you String Theory!!
