The Gentleman Players

About Me

The Gentleman players are a group of musicians put together by producer, arranger and songwriter Mister Speaker in Norrköping Sweden.
We're currently recording and remixing with various artists from around the world.
We'd love to collaborate with like minded artists. It would be great to exchange remixes / re-edits and work on some song arrangements.
If you're a DJ or podcaster and would like some decent quality mp3s of our music to play just get in touch and we'll send you some.
