Full Biography

Is there a more spectacular sight or sound than when a big band hits the stage?

With the cool rhythm section setting the tempo and the brass section starting to swing with 3 trumpets, 3 saxophones and 3 trombones, The Matt Thomas Big Band brings back to life the true sound of the roaring 40’s!

Let The Matt Thomas Big Band fill the air with Sinatra’s wonderful songs, not to mention iconic music from the Glen Miller era, Duke Ellington and Count Basie. Matt and his band can also weave more contemporary material into any show by performing songs from the Robbie Williams swing album and of course the sensational Michael Buble!

As well as incredible live entertainment, Matt can also provide a DJ service between the Big Band's live sets should it be required.
