Recreating live for you all the excitement of the 30s, 40s and 50s eras, with classic tunes and original arrangements.

9-piece Swing Band to 14-piece Swing Orchestra:

The swing era is generally accepted as being the period between 1935 and 1946, which was the hey-day of the great American big bands, from Duke Ellington, Chick Webb, Benny Goodman through Count Basie, Gene Krupa to Glen Miller and Woody Herman and many others; some of whom continued to swing on into subsequent decades. And the vocalists swung too-Ella Fitzgerald, Billy Holiday, Dinah Washington and of course Frank Sinatra.

This music combines elements of all the aforementioned with a bit of ‘Boogie Blues’ thrown in for good measure; all intended to keep audiences ‘swingin and jumpin’! Whether it be the nine piece band or the now available full fourteen piece Swing Orchestra, the show includes a complete 1940’s style stage presentation and clothing, recreating the wonderful atmosphere of the Swing Era. An added attraction is be the option of a Swing/Lindy Hop dance troupe, which can greatly enhance the ambience and visual effect.
