Jazz, swing and vintage wedding acts for hire in the UK

As we’re getting deep in to Autumn and the leaves are falling off the trees theres a distinctly sepia and vintage tinge to the country so we thought we’d feature a few jazz and swing acts for weddings we have available for hire in the UK. The larger acts are available to perform as the main act at receptions and the smaller bands are ideal for background music at drinks receptions and the like.

Experienced in the Lindy Hop dance style, she adds a true vintage twist and pizazz to her performances. It also means she knows the good toe tapping songs to fill those dance floors.
