Join the UK’s hardest swinging band Down for the Count All-Stars for one hellova celebration of vintage music (TimeOut London) as they celebrate A Century of Swing.

Described as a breath of fresh air on the swing scene, Down for the Count are regularly found in jazz clubs across the UK and abroad (Ronnie Scotts London, Le Caveau de la Huchette Paris), at festivals including London Jazz Festival, and on BBC Radio. Now they are bringing the sounds and feels of the best jazz clubs to theatres around the country – with an electrifying show full of incredible energy, musicianship, and their own signature wry wit and humour.

Let the band take you on a whistle-stop tour of the best swing music, tracing the origins of the style from 1920s America through to the genre’s heyday in the 30s, 40s and 50s. The band will also perform their own original arrangements of classic jazz standards featured on their new album, bringing swing music right up to date.

You’ll hear instrumental songs from the likes of Duke Ellington and Glenn Miller and vocal classics from singers such as Nat King Cole and Ella Fitzgerald, all presented with Down for the Counts own unmistakable witticisms.
