The wedding was magical and you made the atmosphere absolutely amazing!" 18th September 2026 Gabriella Photo of Ken Weiner | Jazz 🎷 Ken Weiner | Jazz 🎷 "Ken and his trio were excellent. Their playing really helped make the night. Highly recommended!" 21st September 2026 Bryan - Birthday party Photo of Erika Petti Erika Petti "We hired Erika for a private event in Tuscany and it was honestly one of the best decisions we made for the whole trip. We had a group of English friends over for a few days in the Tuscan countryside, and we wanted something special for one of the evenings. Erika came with her guitar and voice and completely won everyone over. She's incredibly versatile, moving easily between Italian classics, jazz, bossa nova and English songs, so there was something for everyone in the group. Beyond the music, she was warm, professional and easy to organise everything with beforehand. She read the room perfectly and adjusted the set as the evening went on, which made the whole night feel effortless. Our friends are still talking about it. Highly recommend her for any private event, big or small, especially if you want a mix of languages and styles done really well" 24th September 2026 Katherine - Private Event

Frequently asked questions

The average price for swing bands on Gig Heaven is £550, with rates from £170 to £1,750+. 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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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 in London, England, United Kingdom 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.

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.
