Swing and Jazz Acts

Swing acts will take you back to the classic swing and Rat Pack sounds of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Bobby Darin and Sammy Davis right through to modern sounds of Michael Buble. Jazz originated in the African-American communities of New Orleans and became popular through the likes of Duke Ellington, Billie Holliday and Louis Armstrong through to Miles Davis.

We have a range of acts covering these genres who are ideal for corporate events, private functions and weddings amongst others.

There are also tribute acts available for Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin & Michael Buble, who will put on a special show of Swing classics from those artists and some of our solo vocalists and bands can do a Jazz/Swing set.
