New tour dates announced for 2021
We've been working so hard behind the scenes and we're delighted to announce 11 new dates for our Legends of Swing tour in 2021. We'll be travelling up and down the country, sharing our music at loads of fantastic venues - and we'd love to see you there!
The show celebrates our musical heroes - the legendary pioneers of jazz and swing music, from the great bandleaders Duke Ellington and Count Basie to the incredible vocalists Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, and many more.
We've already performed the show to rave reviews at Banbury, Eastbourne, Frome and Snape Maltings and today we're delighted to announce 11 more dates.
