Book 52nd Street Swing

Swing Band

52nd Street Swing are a three piece Harlem swing band that have turned back the clock to play a dazzling set of vintage American music. Classic favourites like ‘Ain’t Misbehavin‘, ‘The Joint is Jumpin’ and ‘Your Feet’s Too Big’ are carefully woven into well known hits like ‘Jeepers Creepers’, ‘Darktown Strutters Ball’ and ‘I Ain’t Got Nobody’ to create an authentic 1920/30’s Harlem party atmosphere.

They bring back to life the forgotten era of prohibition, speakeasy’s, Vaudeville, tin pan alley, rent parties, stride piano and hot jazz.

Standard Length of Performance:

2 x 45 minute sets

They provide all necessary equipment. The minimum they require is a power supply. They are happy working with in-house PA’s as long as there is an engineer provided by the venue at no expense to us. If the venue has a piano we would like to use it.

The band also have The Bombshells available to add that sexy touch to the performance. They are dressed in burlesque style costumes that leave you speechless whilst also bringing glamour to the event!
