Purveyors of good-looking swing, Electro Swing offer modern songs rearranged into hip-shaking, jump-jiving funk and swing.
Having honed their skills as the resident band at the BBC Club & Grange St. Paul's they are now one of the most sought after alternative covers bands in the UK.
Think electro-swing Beyonce and retro remixed Rihanna alongside some toe-tapping tunes from Elvis and Ray Charles. What is not to boogie at?
Boasting four vocalists, saxophone, clarinet, keys, bass and drums between just five outstanding musicians Electro Swing offer an impressive package. Pleasantly professional, well presented and adaptive they entertain all ages as background or foreground entertainment.

Thank you again for your performance; it was simply effortless perfection, there is no other way to describe it.
Chris Collier-Smith - Private Client
It was an absolute joy to work with you. You were professional, on time, and flexible with the changing needs of the event. Communication was great pre, during and post event. I really appreciate that you tailored your set to suit our audience, I felt that you really listened and understood exactly what I was trying to achieve and I was impressed with your ability to offer a range of music starting with the traditional background jazz and finishing with a modern twist!
Thank you so much for a fantastic evening of music – it was great to see the guests dancing and enjoying themselves! I will certainly recommend you for future events. Finally, thank you for accommodating our requests and schedule!
