2018 has been an amazing year for Down the Count, with a record-breaking number of bookings. We’ve gone as far afield as Liverpool, Broadstairs and Cornwall for weddings, and have performed to packed dancefloors wherever we go.
We’ve also had huge success with our vintage Swing Orchestra, which has sold out venues such as Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club, Hideaway Streatham, Pizza Express Jazz Club, The Other Palace studio theatre for London Jazz Festival, and Le Caveau de la Huchette in Paris.
Thanks for all your support – with your help we can make this year an award-winning one!
