The A Rangers are a group of talented musicians in Oxfordshire, performing unique jazz and funk arrangements of your favourite pop tunes. Our unique arrangements of the classics you know and love makes them both fun and invigorating, yet instantly recognisable. The band consists of 5-6 members (vocalist, horn section and rhythm section), rehearsing and performing regularly around the South East region. The A Rangers are the ideal entertainment for weddings, birthdays and other private parties; guaranteed to get your head bopping and your feet tapping!
The A Rangers have an extensive set list covering a wide range of pop music, spanning from the sixties to today’s chart music. We usually provide a mixed set list, spanning all genres and eras to ensure an enjoyable experience for the whole audience. However, you are also encouraged to choose your own songs from our existing set list. If you have a favourite song you would like to hear played, or something in mind for a first dance, why not ask us and we will do our best to make it happen?
The A Rangers most commonly provide 2 x 50 minutes for an evenings entertainment. The band can also slim their ranks to provide up to 2 x 45 mins of dinner jazz and swing standards as a supporting jazz quartet if desired (ideal for background listening during meals). Alternatively, if you require entertainment for a smaller event, such as a wedding reception, then a smaller ensemble may be more suitable. We can compact our talent into a trio, for a lighter and quieter sound. Equally if you are looking for something more space effective or within a lower budget, then a solo saxophone act with recorded backings is available.
The band was formed from long standing friendships and a selection of talented musicians, many of whom teach music professionally. The band was realised by Rob Digweed to stand alongside The Robert Digweed Quartet to accommodate the growing demand of vocal sets and his personal interest in playing more mainstream music. After several years of gigging we discovered we had an uncanny talent for revamping pop songs in our own unique jazz-inspired style. It seemed only appropriate to dedicate these arrangements to an act of its own.
