Reviews of Swing Bands available in Yorkshire

5/5 from 993 reviews
Photo of Mr Swing's Dance Orchestra Mr Swing's Dance Orchestra "We just wanted to drop you a quick message to say thank you so much for being such a fantastic part of our wedding last week! We have lost count of the number of guests who commented on how fantastic you all were, both on the night itself and in messages afterwards. The atmosphere was exactly as we had hoped it would be. We can’t think of a better way that we could have gotten all of the different people from all walks of our lives up and dancing all night! Dexter particularly isn’t much of a dancer so I hope you do take it as the high praise that it is that he was on the dance floor for so much of the evening. We also just wanted to say a massive thank you for being so flexible with the timings and playing later than planned without any issue. Hope the rest of the wedding season continues to be such a success. Thanks so much again." Based in Tadcaster, England Helen & Dexter - Wedding - Tyne & Wear Photo of Nightflyers Big Band Nightflyers Big Band "I have seen them play twice at Leeds Jazz Club. They bring so much life to their music! I hope to see them again." Based in Queensbury, England Charlie Castell - Went to a gig Photo of Darren Newbould Darren Newbould "Thank you for singing a our wedding at Raven Hall you were fantastic. Sarah & Gary xx (10 / 10) Sarah Miller" Based in Stocksbridge, England Sarah Miller - Wedding Reception Photo of Wedding/funeral/events singer Wedding/funeral/events singer "I found Sarah, by chance, looking for a soprano to sing at my mother's funeral in 2022. Sadly for me, the funerals of my husband and father happened in succession all to quickly over the next two years. Sarah provided all occasions with such grace. We worked together to create something very special. Nothing is too much trouble for Sarah, she was able to suggest music from repertoire but also took on music she did not know, and sang all beautifully. Her voice and presence was a rock to me and everyone commented on the beauty of her voice. I would highly recommend Sarah for all occasions - happy, sad, fun, solemn and she will deliver a bespoke service. I remain deeply grateful to know Sarah and now call her a friend!"

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."

Frequently asked questions

The average price for swing bands on Gig Heaven is £650, with rates from £180 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.
