| You will hear a selection of songs
evoking nostalgic glimpses of a more glamorous past from the repertoire
of the classic American songbook made popular by Frank Sinatra and The Rat
Pack, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat ‘King’Cole, Fred Astaire, Nina Simone
and more recently Michael Bublé, Norah Jones and Jamie Cullum - a
genre of musical expression that has remained timeless and everlasting.
The members of this London-based band comprise the country’s top session and gigging musicians, having worked with the likes of Shirley Bassey, Kylie Minogue, The London Symphony Orchestra, BBC Radio Big Band, Syd Lawrence Orchestra and can be regularly seen in the theatre orchestras of West End Shows. Simply Swing's line-up ranges from an intimate Trio ensemble of keyboard, double bass and drums, up to a 6-piece band with additional vocals, saxophone and guitar. In their fuller format, the ensemble can adjust their pace and prominence to suit the mood of your evening. As well as providing CD's to play during the band breaks, Simply Swing also offers an Auto DJ Playlist service whereby after the live sets of music we "put the records on for you" to keep the party going. This is especially popular should you want a Pop/Disco set of music for dancing towards the end of your evening.

Louisa Clark - private party "A top-class band who received superb feedback from all who attended the function. Many said they were that good they would have just liked to have sat down and listened to them, let alone danced to them. All round the musicians were excellent and the lead vocalist superb.
