Music and Dance 

What is swing?

To my mind swing is a feel thing, a groove, a danceable beat irrespective of the period or style. The swing era however, 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 ‘just too few to mention’.

Our 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’!

Dancing to our music

From formal shows and TV appearance with international dance troop ‘The Jiving Lindy Hoppers’ to swing dance events, private functions and weddings, this band, like many bands of old is eminently for dancing; but it also has a big following at festivals and clubs with the discerning listening audiences.
