We perform the Big Band sounds of Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Stan Kenton, Ted Heath and more, through the 1930s, 40s, 50s through to the present day. Our extensive repertoire includes jazz standards, R'n'B, charleston, rock and roll, latin, dance and contemporary music.

 

Don't be put off by our size - we are a big band for hire and have played in all types of venues and for all occasions. You'll be surprised at how accommodating we can be.
