There’s nothing quite like the sound of a live band to get your feet moving! We can liven up your birthday party, wedding, festival fete or fair. You could have a night of swing, Sinatra and 1940s tunes, or we can add some party music for people to dance around to.
We have performed at the the Oakham Festival, weddings, birthday parties, numerous 1940s dance events, and in the Curve theatre in Leicester. If you are looking to hire a wedding band or a party band, please get in touch, and we will give your guests a good time. We’ll happily travel around Oakham, Leicestershire, Uppingham, Stamford, Melton Mowbray, Corby and other places around the East Midlands.
Naturally there’s 1940s swing era music such as Glen Miller but also a glorious mix of other music including James Bond theme songs, songs by Stevie Wonder, Van Morrison, Duke Ellington and of course tracks made famous by the Rat Pack. It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing so enjoy the rhythms, clap your hands, tap those feet , and if the mood takes you and the health and safety officer is looking the other way, grab your partner, swing them round and dance into the night.
Thanks you all for a really great night!

I will certainly be having you back in the future.‘ – Steve Heywood from RAF Wittering

We can adjust our setlist to suit your event. We love to make music, so please ask about booking us, or suggesting somewhere we could do a gig. And if you just like listening, join our mailing list!
