Sabra Swing band’s recent shows include the EFG London Jazz Festival, Arts Depot London and Tsitsit Jewish Fringe Festival, and they have performed around the world to rave reviews. Described by the New York Times as "soulful and virtuosic", the band are known for their heartfelt and fiery performances, along with colourful set lists and quick-witted onstage chat, making them a firm favourite with audiences. Sabra Swing have an extensive musical repertoire including jazz standards, Klezmer and Ladino, musical theatre and cabaret songs. The band's full line-up of five features Miriam Kramer - “a violinist of superior natural talent” (The Strad), singer Sara Feldmann Brummer - “sensuous and impertinently hilarious vocals" (This Is Cabaret) and pianist Nicholas Durcan, whose Rhapsody in Blue (Gershwin) was praised as "a sparkling performance" by The Observer. Bassist Steve Rossell and drummer Hamish Birchall complete the sound. A guest trumpeter is available on request, as an additional musician. Sabra Swing are also able to perform as a trio (violin, voice and piano).

Customer questions

Will the singer be the same as who I see in the videos?

We strive to make sure the line-up you see is what you get on the night. We do have pre-auditioned 'dep' musicians available in case a band member falls ill or is unavailable. As a professional band our reputation means everything, so you can be confident that all of our players are of a very high level.

Do you have different line-up options?

Our usual line-up is: Female Singer, Violin, Keys, Double Bass, Drums. We also performs as a trio - Female Singer, Violin, Keys. We can add a Trumpet player to any of these line-ups and/or additional vocalists if required.

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

We always try our best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let us know.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

We are able to play an iPod playlist before and between our sets via our PA - playlist requests must be arranged with us in advance.

How much time do you need to set up?

We usually set up about 1 to 1.5 hours before the performance time.

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

Our set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests dance and have an amazing time. However, we're happy to include song requests if this is discussed in advance with us. Our fee includes a free music consultation on zoom to discuss song choices.

Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?

Our PA system is included - we can provide a piano keyboard and/or drum kit if your venue does not have this.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

If a song isn't included in our song list there may still be a chance we already know it. If there is a special song you'd like us to learn we are happy to do this for you. There is a fee of £50 for this service to take into account rehearsal times etc
