The Story of Swing From The Ratpack to Robbie, from Basie to Bublé.

 

Presented by Award winning vocalist and World Class trumpet player, Gareth John and featuring the stunning SOS Big Band - The Story of Swing takes you on a musical journey through decades of the iconic genre of swing and big band music.

Featuring the classic, much-loved hits of Bobby Darin, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr, right through to modern day crooners such as Michael Buble, Robbie Williams, Matt Goss, Paul Anka and Harry Connick Jr.

Gareth is renowned for his top-class showmanship, performing from the heart with huge passion for the genre. His stage presence and natural rapport with the audience are second to none. Not surprising, as he has shared the stage with many household names, including The Beautiful South, The Specials and many more.

Gareth will also be joined by some very special guests on the night.

 

 

'Love the show, the arrangements, performance and concept are just fantastic' Tony Minvielle, Jazz FM

'First class singer and band, playing big band and swing music the right way' Dennis Rollins MBE 

'A very professional show that is a must-see' Andy Pierce, BBC Radio Leicester 

'I love what Gareth and the band have done with this, a really fun evening for all' Carol Leeming MBE FRSA
