We Got That Swing!'s Reviews

5 out of 5

I wanted to say the performance at West Road was just brilliant from your band. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed it as did everyone else. The comments were fabulous that we overheard in the break just afterwards. Please do pass this on to your band. Just brill.

You're the best band I've ever heard! The music was varied in style and tempo and played brilliantly, but, unlike so many bands I've danced to, every piece was great for dancing.

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

We play lively and exciting music. We play jazz but the songs and instrumentals are to the point and not overlong.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

West Road Concert Hall, Cambridge Swing Dance halls.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Indigo Swing, Brian Setzer.

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

We played in front of 400 people at West Road Concert Hall in Cambridge as part of a "Last Night of the Proms" evening.

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

Yes. As our singer is also a saxophone player she is integral to the band,

Do you have different line-up options?

Our line-up is: Vocals/sax, sax, keys, bass, drums. We have a 6 piece option with another horn (sax or trombone, for example).

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. Significant changes may require a different fee.

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

This can be provided given advanced notice; before and between sets is free. If you'd like a budget-DJ service via our PA after the final set until the venue closes or midnight (whichever is earlier), we can provide this for an additional £100 per hour. Please bear in mind this would involve a much smaller and not as flashy set up as a full blown DJ.

How much time do you need to set up?

We require 1.5 hours set up time.

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

We are happy to receive suggestions from our set list and will endeavour to include them all, with sufficient notice.

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

Our PA and lighting system is included in your quote. We require a minimum of 3.5m by 3m space to perform. For outside performances a rainproof cover will be required (not supplied); this option is only available in the summer months.
