A complete dance floor filler.

5 stars - Prestige Swing are Highly Recommended
booked Prestige Swing for their event

“We just wanted to say thank you so much for your help in making our wedding on Good Friday such a great day. I'm sorry to have only spoken to you fleetingly but can safely say your sets were one of (if not the) highlights of the wedding. A complete dance floor filler and we had so many comments about how much people enjoyed your music. If you ever need any recommendations from 'real life couples' just give me a shout and I'd be happy to help. Many thanks and best wishes to you and the rest of the team.”

5 stars - Prestige Swing are Highly Recommended
booked Prestige Swing for their event

“A good sized and appreciative audience at Fleetwood's Marine Hall were well entertained by a band that certainly lived up to its name of Prestige Swing. Led by Pianist/Trumpet and Vocalist Chris the band played a excellent selection of favourites made famous by such as Glen Miller, Count Basie, Woody Herman, Frank Sinatra etc. Although only 11 musicians they were all masters of their craft featuring many fine soloists, particularly bass player Steve. Simone was not only a good vocalist but a very talented saxophonist who at one time had been lead alto wit the Ivy Benson Orchestra. Featuring numbers like In The Mood, Woodchoppers Ball, Chicago, Georgia etc the band had the audience foot tapping along then cheering for more at the end of a very entertaining evening.”

booked Prestige Swing for their event

“I just wanted to pass on my thanks and appreciation from both myself and all my team here at Xero and was hoping you could please express our thanks to the rest of your band. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed you playing at our event the other night and are still raving about you guys as we speak so much so you even agreed to an encore on the night. You had everyone up dancing from the minute you started playing and I for one know that my feet were killing me come midnight which is always a sign of a good night dancing. I honestly cannot thank you all enough for attending our event and putting on a marvellous show. We will certainly be keeping you in mind for any other events we plan to hold in the future and wish you all the best with everything you do. Many thanks!”
