Swing Bands & UK Big Bands for hire.
Big bands and swing bands are definitely back in
vogue. There is nothing like the cool sophistication
of a dynamic swing band to liven up any type of
function. For listening or dancing pleasure, Yorkshire
Entertainment Agency offers a wide variety of
highly skilled musicians performing music ranging
from lively zoot-suited, jump-jive boogie to the
traditional big bands playing standards & classic
jazz and swing. This used to be a style of music
predominantly enjoyed by 'mature' 1940s enthusiasts.
However, the performances by Harry Connick Jr, and
more recently the huge success of the Jools Holland
Orchestra and Robbie Williams (with the ‘Swing
When Your Winning’ album), have dramatically
increased the popularity of the swing style orchestra. |

swing band performing ‘walkabout’ jazz
reception sets followed by 'Rat Pack' big band swing
as recently covered by Robbie Williams. If you desire
the best, then look here! Perfect for a wedding,
