The ensemble is made up of drums, bass, piano, trumpet and guitar - with strong 3 part  vocals.

The ensemble's strength lies in its musical versatility, allowing it to adapt to an array of styles and songs to suit any occasion or venue. From Frank Sinatra to the Plan B, via Elvis and Motown, the ensemble specialises in a truly eclectic mix. This makes The Nick Rye Ensemble an ideal backing to any event, able to provide gentle dinner jazz when backing music is required, easy listening swing as the evening picks up and then floor filling dance music guaranteed to give you a party to remember!
