Amazing 11-piece dance orchestra playing 1920s and early 1930s Jazz. This band has played last in Edinburgh in 2017, so we're thrilled to bring them back! Before the gig, starting at 18:45, we've got a conversation about "How Swing dancing came to Edinburgh" with Jamie Davies, Kathy Harrison, Michelle Davies and Rhona Davies, all Swing dancers, dance teachers and event organisers.
Here's a video of the band

Fantastic octet playing classic Jazz tunes from the 1930s to 1960s. This well-known band now plays very rarely together, so don't miss this opportunity to see, hear and dance to them. A great choice for dancing Lindy, Jive and Foxtrot. Before the gig, starting at 18:45, we've got a talk about "How Jazz music came to Britain" by Dick Lee, musician, composer, band leader and Jazz historian.
