Reviews of Swing Bands available in Aberdeen

5/5 from 837 reviews
Photo of La Dolce Vita Swing Collective La Dolce Vita Swing Collective "Not knowing what to expect I was ready for anything on a warm September night in Edinburgh. This was a Sunday night too and the setting was complete in the nightclub atmosphere that is the Dirty Martini lounge. This band can swing, bass and drums groove sweetly while sax and piano trade solos making this a full sound like there are more on stage. Tony Delicata on vocals blends his Italian roots with Volare, On An Evening In Roma and O Solo Mio as we were escorted to warm Italy with cool sounds and cocktails to suit. The second half opened with I Wish I Knew, an instrumental from the days when Cinema was a TV series before Tony returned with more signature arrangements. By now the audience were itching to dance and with peaks like Mack The Knife and (Theme From) New York New York they were at one with the band. The closing title song was a creative masterstroke and a deserved ovation followed." Based in Edinburgh, Scotland (92 miles from Aberdeen) K107fm - concert Photo of Paul Skerritt Music Paul Skerritt Music "Paul Skerritt can work a room with the skill of a Las Vegas entertainer and he had those present in the palm of his hand. He sings, he swings, he ring-a-ding dings. Old Blue Eyes ain't dead - he just lives in the North East of England!" Based in South Shields, England (150 miles from Aberdeen) Lance Liddle - Bebop Spoken Here Jazz Blog Photo of Dr Jazz Dr Jazz "Thank you all so much for your amazing performance on Saturday evening, which was everything I could have hoped for! Your music was brilliant, got everyone up dancing and I can’t tell you how many people told me afterwards ‘how brilliant the 1920s band were’. As soon as you played your first song I knew we’d struck gold! It couldn’t have been more perfect given the whole Gatsby theme and everyone so dressed up, so thank you all so much. You may be interested to know that we raised an astonishing £7,000 on the night! With just 96 people in the room…amazing! Thanks again Matthew and I’ll not hesitate to recommend you if anyone should ask me for a fabulous 20’s Jazz Band!" Based in York, England (224 miles from Aberdeen) Gayle Wharton - Charity Ball - Lincolnshire Photo of Swing Jamboree Swing Jamboree "Thankyou so much for playing for us! IT was a great night!" Based in Beverley, England (237 miles from Aberdeen) 20th January 2026 Rob, Lindy Fridays - Lindy Hop Christmas Party Photo of Marty Clarke Vocalist Marty Clarke Vocalist "The Las Vegas Experience was a great show for our Christmas Party. Music for all tastes with a fantastic singer and musician performing with a full light show and great sound. Marty is a true professional and a gentleman, nothing was too much trouble and provided a good DJ service as well." Based in Barton upon Humber, England (247 miles from Aberdeen) Steve - Army Reserve 150 Regiment RLC Photo of The Easy Rollers The Easy Rollers "We couldn’t have been happier with the band who made it such a special night. They were a perfect choice for us with a great look, sound and spirit that got everyone in the party mood. Dani and the gang are excellent performers and really made the extra effort to make the Gatsby/1920s 1920s-themed night one to remember." Based in Manchester, England (253 miles from Aberdeen) 30th June 2026 Paul - Gatsby Themed 50th Birthday Party

Frequently asked questions

The average price for swing bands on Gig Heaven is £650, with rates from £170 to £2,000+. Cost varies based on the number of musicians, set length and the style of swing. Swing bands range from intimate jazz combos to large orchestras, and the size of the ensemble is the primary factor in pricing.

The swing bands for hire perform swing, big band jazz, jive, boogie-woogie and related styles from the 1930s through to the modern swing revival. Many bands offer a mix of vintage classics and contemporary songs performed in a swing style.

Typical bookings for swing bands include vintage-themed weddings, black-tie dinners, corporate events, cocktail parties, swing dance nights and gala celebrations. Swing music creates a sophisticated, energetic atmosphere that is perfect for dancing.

The swing bands on Gig Heaven range from small combos of three to five musicians up to full big band line-ups with horn sections and vocalists. A smaller group suits intimate settings, while a larger ensemble delivers the classic big band swing sound.

Most swing bands are self-contained and bring their own instruments, PA system and amplification. Larger ensembles may have specific staging requirements. It is worth confirming technical and space needs with the band before booking.

Swing is written for dancing and most bands build the set around it, varying the tempo so the floor stays busy rather than holding one pace all night. Several will run a short demonstration early on at events where guests do not know the steps. A floor area clear of tables makes far more difference to this than the size of the line-up.

Most perform in vintage-styled suits or dresses in keeping with the era, and many will match a black-tie or 1940s theme if asked. Some carry more than one look and will confirm which suits the occasion. Mentioning the theme when enquiring is usually enough, as it rarely affects the fee.

Most line-ups include one, and in smaller groups the singer often doubles on an instrument. Some acts are instrumental only, which works well for background playing but changes the feel once people want to dance. Profiles say which format each act offers and several can supply either.
