Our Repertoire

We play mostly "big band" jazz: (A Mixture of Swing and Latin as performed by: Glen Miller, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Frank Sinatra, Robbie Williams etc and a smattering of fifties/ sixties numbers in a rock and roll/jazz-rock or funk style.

We play a good mix of vocal and non vocal numbers.
