Full Biography
Experience the magic of The Swing Smiths Orchestra, a show-stopping orchestra renowned for their stunning renditions of music from Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday, Nat 'King' Cole, and Ella Fitzgerald, among others.
With sensational vocalists, lusicious strings, and swinging horns, The Swing Smiths Orchestra delivers a spectacular performance that is the epitome of elegance and entertainment. Whether it's a dinner dance, gala ball, or award ceremony, they provide the perfect soundtrack for any occasion.
Praised by the esteemed DownBeat magazine as "a sonic ride back to the sounds of Capitol Studios in the 1950s," and hailed by Stage Reviews... "you won't find a better interpretation of these golden tunes anywhere in the UK right now", The Swing Smiths Orchestra sets the standard for musical excellence.
Drawing inspiration from the legendary recordings of Capitol Studios, where the likes of Frank Sinatra, Nat 'King' Cole, and Peggy Lee rose to fame, the orchestra faithfully transcribes the greatest hits of the Swing Era. But they're not limited to the golden days —this professional orchestra can also groove to the soulful sounds of Motown legends like Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, and Marvin Gaye, ensuring a great time for all.
Above all, every performance is performed with genuine love and respect for the original artists, creating an infectious atmosphere of camaraderie between the musicians and their audience. It's no wonder fans keep coming back for more!
