Mr Swing is a 13 piece dance orchestra playing dance music from
the radio broadcasts of the 30's, through the Glen Miller sound
of the 40's and on to the “Rat Pack” days of the 50's
and beyond.
These artists' cool numbers are capably performed by the focal point
of Mr Swing, which is singer Phil Chapman, who hails from Leeds
and has had a love of big band music all his life. This affection
becomes very apparent in his performances. From quick-steps - for
the more energetic members of the audience - to ballads for those
who fancy a 'smooch', plus all the dances in between. Mr Swing encourages
everybody, of all ages to get up and have a dance.
Mr Swing’s dance orchestra has entertained many venues including
Buckingham Palace and has always received favourable comments, be
it a dinner/dance, company conference, wedding or a society ball,
the band is continually enjoyed by audiences of all ages. The band
always take great pride in their professionalism and always enjoy
the performance they give.
This excellent dance orchestra is flexible and would be happy to
fit in with your arrangements for an evenings entertainment. With
a typical 2 or 3 sets totalling 2 hours, they offer background music
to keep your function flowing between live sets, or alternatively
can organise a disco for you, to ensure the dancing continues throughout
the evening.
