GRAND WAZOO - KINGS OF SOUL
CONTINUES TO ACCEPT PRESTIGE BOOKINGS FROM OUR JEWISH CLIENTS WITH RELIGIOUS SETS INCLUDED
The Jewish Sets are an add-on service, involving Grand WaZoo’s Rhythm Section, as well as a Violin & 2 Horns (under the musical direction of Jewish members), presenting this element of your function. We perform with our versatile Jewish Singer, SHIMON WALLES, or if he is unavailable we engage another outstanding Singer — and tailor the Jewish Music to suit YOU. The Band performs @ Parties, Weddings, Corporates & Private Functions, but only rarely at Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, due to the quality and sophistication of the music, which is not current ‘pop’.
NB. Grand WaZoo is an established act of 14-15 regular onstage members, who perform vibrant SOUL Music for your dancing or listening pleasure. The Band NEVER reduces its size and generally brings in a small crew. It is at the ‘top end’ of entertainment market.
