The Musicians

Nairobi offer live musical services, including an acoustic Duo, Trio, a concert Quartet or an electric Dance-band.

With twelve years international experience, Nairobi are New Zealand’s most experienced and professional musical services provider.

Duo
These guys make their instruments ‘talk’. Sometimes the intimacy of the Duo is ‘just right” for the occasion (e.g. cocktails, private dinners etc.)

Trio
The acoustic trio play “with a passion and flair that international audiences adore” - Stephane Grappelli 1992.

Ideal for cocktail or corporate and private functions, performing “unplugged” either as a strolling group, or from a fixed point/ stage.

Quartet
The Nairobi Trio concert Quartet have released five albums and appear regularly at top Festivals throughout the world (including the Edinburgh International Festival). The Nairobi concert quartet are ideal for corporate events, trade shows and product launches.

The Electric Band
A top quality dance-band. Electric violin, electric guitar/keyboards, bass, and drums including 4 vocalists (one of whom also plays a mean sax.) The repertoire focuses on the dance floor, featuring classic hits from the '30's to the '90's - something for everyone. (Check out the song list below). This is ideal for corporate functions, parties, gala dinner/ dance or conference and awards presentations black tie or casual.

Thanks to you all, once more, for making our 50th wedding anniversary an absolutely memorable day... to have had that special time was a bit like having Santa's sleigh suddenly arrive in one's living room! I couldn't believe my eyes.
- Jacqueline & Ray Niall

The dance topped off a wonderful day – and you had an excellent grasp on how to get everyone up onto the floor.

The Nairobi Trio was absolutely the making of the evening, many of our guests remarked that it was the best wedding they had ever been to.

I can certainly understand why the Nairobi Trio is recommended by many people…
- Alison O’Shaughnessy

Thank you so much for all the extra effort that you all put in to our special day. Everyone said that you were amazing during the Israeli dancing and we totally agree.
- Shari & Mike

We have had some fantastic comments back including our visitors from the UK and Australia, saying that it was one of the best weddings they had attended. We’re pretty sure that the length of time that the “Yiddish” dancing carried on for has got to be a New Zealand record.

Jewish Wedding

- The spirit and energy with which all your members participated had to be seen to be believed, and played a huge part in the success of the wedding.
- Barbara & Michael Clements

On behalf of the IHC I thank the Nairobi Trio for supporting the IHC and Telecom Art Awards on 11 March.
The Nairobi Trio played such an important role in creating a great atmosphere for the evening. As always, your music was superb, and the way you are able to be part of and in the atmosphere of an event is quite unique.
