Wedding Swing & Jive Bands for hire in Bath
What our expert says...Swing and jive bring a sense of fun and nostalgia that few other styles can match. The horns, rhythm, and vintage charm create a dancefloor that feels straight out of a 1950s celebration.

Latest reviews of our Wedding Swing & Jive Bands in Bath
"I just don't have the words in my vocabulary to express how incredible these guys are. They really stole the night. There were some who were sceptical about our band choice but even they were absolutely blown away on the day. Not sure there was a single guest that didn't comment on how brilliant they were. The whole party was dancing, whether it was on the dancefloor (which was swealtering) or outside on the decking - it was almost impossible for people not to dance. In the run up to the event, Gary was very professional and polite, always responding promptly to emails and accommodating the requests of the venue. We really couldn't have asked for more. Overall: really friendly, fantastic guys, absolutely mind-blowingly incredible musicians with a great sound that sets the mood for a wicked party. I just now wish they were playing at every party I went to!! Thank you so so much guys. Sarah & Tris"
