Reviews

" We have just had Gypsy Jazz/Swing Band play at our Sunday Social dance at the Hen and Chicken and they did a superb job! Good quality musicians providing an excellent range of swinging, high energy tunes. We had people who came just to listen but mainly it was a room full of dancers and they kept the floor full and buzzing. Their set was interesting, playful and spot on for what we wanted. We would definitely have them back! A note to organisers: Very easy comms. They turned up with plenty of time and were clean and efficient in set up and take down. What’s not to like?! "

""If you are looking for a band that is lively, that is going to appeal to an audience, then look no further than Sephora Swing. They play Gypsy Jazz which is guaranteed to bring people onto the dance floor. With a tantalising mix of Clarinet, Violin, Double Bass and Manouche guitars they bring a new dimension to swing that will leave you breathless at the end.”"
