Bands

Basin Street Brawlers

The Basin Street Brawlers are ´London´s top hot jazz ensemble´ (visitlondon.com). This band of master musicians swing and stomp their way through the most beautiful melodies and raucous rags of the 1920s and 1930s ´with all the energy and assurance of a bunch of Kansas City veterans´ (The Sunday Times).

Louise Messenger's Savoy Swing

Louise Messenger’s Savoy Swing are a standout on the UK swing scene. Based in London and showcasing some of the country’s finest jazz talent, the band brings the dancefloor to life with a joyful mix of timeless standards, gems from the Great American Songbook, and classic Lindy Hop and Balboa favourites. Swing dancers across the UK, Europe, and Australia have been captivated by Louise's performances, including her work with The Gordon Webster Band and The Intercontinentals.

The Jim Wynn Swingtet

Birmingham’s hippest band, specialising in authentic vintage swing music from the 1930s and 40s. The Swingtet’s repertoire is a mix of big band classics and small band favourites. A regular at swing dance events, they're sure to get the joint jumpin’ !

Loredana Fantini & Eric Ranzoni

With a deep-seated love for blues since 1998, Loredana is a passionate and dedicated blues singer. She has journeyed through the musical landscape, honing her craft and leaving a mark on every stage she graces. She will perform with renowned blues pianist Eric Ranzoni (Mud Morganfield's tour pianist), bringing a wealth of experience and a captivating presence to her act.

Django's Tiger

Django’s Tiger play swing in the tradition of Django Reinhardt and Stefan Grapelli.

This music (known variously as gypsy jazz, jazz manouche or gypsy swing) grew out of a fusion of American swing jazz of the 1920s to 40s, Parisian musette dancehall music, and traditional gypsy tunes. It is melodic, and with an infectious sense of fun; the strong dance rhythms are perfect for swing dancing.
