The Ritz Trio
The Ritz Trio is a busy, professional, function band
consisting of musicians who have been performing
together for over fifteen years. The music is a mixture
of Jazz, Swing and Latin with a repertoire ranging from
dinner and cocktail classics such as “The Girl from
Ipanema” and “Take Five”, to the more modern end of the
spectrum.
The Trio are able to tune the mood substantially for
your wedding or event, blending into the background
during the reception so that guests can mingle and talk,
or cooking up a little more energy later if required.
The Ritz Trio is the resident band on the Royal Yacht
Britannia and are accustomed to playing at other
prestigious venues including Skibo Castle, The Old
Course Hotel, Gleneagles, Hopetoun House and Rufflets.
