About The Band

There's nothing quite like the sound of a live band to get your feet moving. The Rutland big band can liven up your party with the old swing favourites, jazz numbers, latin tunes, and newer music written for big bands.

Our repertoire includes popular tunes from the swing era such as "Moonlight Serenade" and "American Patrol" through "Rock Around The Clock" to more modern party tunes such as "Copacabana".

You can hear what we sound like on the 'listen to us' page.

The band started with just a handful of people in 2005. In the early days people would pay to make us go away, but now people have started asking us back a second time. We have performed at the Uppingham Fringe arts festival, the Oakham Festival, weddings, & several 40s nights. So if you need to hire that Big Band sound for your wedding, party or other event, please get in touch, and give your guests a good dance. We'll happily travel around Leicestershire,  Stamford, Melton Mowbray, Corby and other places around Leicestershire and  the East Midlands.
