The Antonio Socci Jive & Swing Band

Being such a fan of Louis Prima and having played trumpet with The Jive Aces, The Bevin Boys, The Three Belles and The Glamophones it was inevitable that Antonio should form his own band, the Antonio Socci Jive & Swing Band. Recreating some of the fantastic sounds from the 40s & 50s, Antonio can often be found hopping tables with other band members and delighting audiences with his natural charm and sense of fun. The band recently completed a successful residency at Manhattan Suite, Birmingham and perform as a 7, 8 or even 9-piece Jump, Jive and Swing band. Antonio's debut album has been played on over a dozen local BBC Radio stations and on BBC's Elaine Paige on Sunday show. Antonio & the band can provide the full wedding day package, from ceremony music to background dinner music, to the full after dinner Jive & Swing band. Other credits include BBC Songs of Praise, The Big Breakfast and tours of Europe with The Bevin Boys, Rosemary Ashe and The Jive Aces. Corporate clients include events for HSBC, Birmingham City Council, the National Memorial Arboretum, Drayton Manor Park and the IM Group. With years of experience performing in dance bands and jazz bands, Antonio's band can provide the perfect intimate jazz setting with or without vocalists or can recreate the ballroom dance band era with a full band sound.
