Reviews of Swing Bands based near Chichester

5/5 from 48 reviews
Photo of Miss Dolores & Friends Miss Dolores & Friends "Thank you all so much for such a fantastic evening on Saturday! The feedback has been unbelievable - everyone loved the evening and especially the band. Your voice has been commented on by many and lots of people are saying we must get them again! Whether that will be jazz / jive or 60s/70s, I don't know...but I will get back to you when the time is right. The selection you chose for the 2 sets was perfect - the first allowing people to chat and the second winding up the tempo for a dance. We have never seen so many people dancing in the Hall and - of all ages. So, very well done to you all and lots of thanks." Based in Petersfield, England (13 miles from Chichester) Lyn B - Swing Party Photo of Pink Champagne Duo / Trio / Quartet Pink Champagne Duo / Trio / Quartet "Absolutely brilliant! Contact from the start was quick, and all ideas were discussed. Pink Champagne brought everything they needed for the gig, and set up by themselves. The music was enjoyed by all. I would 100% recommend and use them again!! Thank you Pink Champagne!" Based in Fareham, England (17 miles from Chichester) Francesca Tucker - D-Day Community Fete Photo of Murielefrenchsinger Murielefrenchsinger "It was a pleasure having Muriele Frenchsinger perform at this year's Concours des Légendes at Wilton. Her set was a great addition to the event, and she brought a lovely atmosphere that our guests really enjoyed. Muriele is professional, easy to work with, and a talented vocalist. I would highly recommend." Based in Winchester, England (28 miles from Chichester) 24th August 2026 Geoff Love - Concours des Legendes Wilton House Photo of Tritone Tritone "What can I say?

Despite the down pour (we’re saying it added to the day :) ) your playing and vocals were really special. You blew everyone away!" Based in Brighton, England (28 miles from Chichester) Nicola Elliott - Private Event Photo of French Jazz/ Piaf French Jazz/ Piaf "Working in the music industry myself for over 30 years now with many artists, I can honestly say Sam stands out amongst them as being one of the most talented and original. I believe Sam would be a great choice for any musical endeavors or projects anyone had in mind and could bring a wealth of experience as well as a fresh and original perspective to the creative mixing pot."

Frequently asked questions

The average price for swing bands on Gig Heaven is £600, with rates from £190 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.
