Swing is the Thing brings that swing thing to your event or celebration. An authentic, 40's style swing band, bringing the sound and looks of that fabulous era. If you want smooth, mellow jazz... we've got it. If you want bouncing swing to really get the party moving then that's what you'll get. Swing is the Thing is the perfect band for any vintage type event. With our 7 piece line up, we can set up quickly, ready to play with minimum disruption. The great atmosphere that any live music brings to an event is immeasurable, but swing seems to appeal to all ages. Our fabulous rhythm section of drums, piano and double bass keep that groove going, whilst the punchy brass lines of our amazing trumpet and saxophone players bring the tune to life and will blow you away. The final icing on the cake; to complete the line up is the velvet smooth sounds of our superb vocalist. Although we pack a big sound, we are a relatively small band and so are able to be very competitively priced. We can also fit into smaller venues and are great for garden parties or weddings.
Line up:
We do offer DJ/background music as an extra.
