Swing Band

Hire a jazz and swing band for your wedding or event

Orchestra of Swing are a mini big band who bring the sounds of the swing era back to life, with an electrifying show full of incredible energy and musicianship.  

Since bursting onto the scene at Twinwood Festival in 2013, the band have quickly earned themselves a reputation as one of the hardest swinging bands in the UK. They are constantly in demand and have sold out shows at Ronnie Scotts Jazz Club, Hideaway Streatham, Pizza Express Jazz Club Soho, Le Caveau de la Huchette (Paris) and the opening night of The London Jazz Festival.

The band recreate classic tunes from the likes of Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong and Glenn Miller, but this is no mere nostalgia trip! Orchestra of Swing perform each song in their own unmistakeable style, breathing new life into the best vintage music.  

Combine that with the band’s top class instrumental solos, sublime vocal performances, and irresistible humour and joie de vivre and you get a show that will leave you feeling uplifted and wanting more.
