Reviews of Swing Bands available in Peterborough

5/5 from 1,080 reviews
Photo of Mickey Fordola Mickey Fordola "What a fantastic voice, Mickey's performance was outstanding! He entertained our audience of 650 plus members and guests, at our New Years Eve Ball, with effortless charm, from the ballads he began with, to the big band numbers he sang at the end. Many of our guests are still talking about him now! A classy and professional act I would highly recommend." Based in Cambridge, England (30 miles from Peterborough) Mark Pawley - Hong Kong Football Club Photo of Harmony In Harlem Harmony In Harlem "Harmony In Harlem performed at our wedding at the Plaisterers' Hall on London Wall in 2012. We thought that the band was fantastic - our guests loved it and at least one said it was the best music they have ever heard at a function - I certainly thought so!" Based in Cambridge, England (30 miles from Peterborough) Lord Collins of Mapesbury - Private Wedding Photo of Annelise - Jazz & Swing Singer Annelise - Jazz & Swing Singer "What a lovely voice and very talented performer, Annelise Molloy was well received by the audience and was a real success." Based in Letchworth Garden City, England (41 miles from Peterborough) Patricia Hunter - Community Event - 09/06/19 Photo of The Wedding Jazz Company The Wedding Jazz Company "Hired a jazz trio with Dan for my wedding - which was themed around an outdoor garden party. Dan was fantastic at keeping in touch and booking couldn't have been easier. The guys were there and ready for when they said they would be, and they were absolutely brilliant! Provided the perfect backdrop to our event, excellent musicians too. I would have no hesitation in recommending these guys, and should I have any events in future that would suit some smooth jazz then these guys would be top of the list!" Based in Royal Leamington Spa, England (57 miles from Peterborough) Sean - Wedding Photo of Funk'N'Soul Function Band Funk'N'Soul Function Band "Funk’N’Soul performed at a wedding celebration held at Maisemore Gloucestershire on 28th August. The two hour set and DJ kept everyone on the dance floor, which was exactly what was wanted!! Awesome night!" Based in Warwick, England (60 miles from Peterborough) Vicki Williams - Wedding Event Planner Photo of Miss Swing Miss Swing "Tracy has sung for me at a number of venues I have managed. Most recently she entertained with her Miss Swing theme. Was amazing, all our guests thoroughly enjoyed their Sunday afternoon and have been left waiting for more of Tracy later in the year. So accommodating to this new venture, I cannot recommend enough, get booking!" Based in Colchester, England (68 miles from Peterborough) 10th June 2026 Wendy Rundle - Pub

Frequently asked questions

The average price for swing bands on Gig Heaven is £600, with rates from £160 to £1,850+. 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.
