Celebrate a century of swing with one of the UK’s most beloved big bands
Step back into the golden age of swing with the Down for the Count All Stars, in an evening of glamour, joy and the greatest hits of the Swing Era.
Enjoy a fresh selection of the finest swing music as the band traces the style from its origins in 1920s America to its heyday in the 1930s, 40s and 50s. Expect instrumental favourites from the likes of Duke Ellington and Glenn Miller, vocal classics made famous by Nat ‘King’ Cole and Ella Fitzgerald, and original arrangements of jazz standards from the band’s new album, Just You, Just Me, all delivered with Down for the Count’s own unmistakable witticisms.
