About

Goosebumps are one of the hottest Swing Jive and Jump Blues bands in the UK. These highly-experienced musicians are truly the cats "meow" and will Jive up any event with their Swing. "The Jumpingist Jivers in town" - the high energy Swingy-Jazzy-Jivey-Bluesy music is the name of the game with these fellas, from their togged-out period clothes to the in between-song banter, they will guarantee to have everyone up struttin' their stuff on the dance floor.

Goosebumps have been featured in live sessions on BBC radio and have performed at many music festivals throughout England, as well as weddings and corporate events. Their repertoire consists of 1940's energetic Jive and Swing infused with cheeky good humour but they are also able to play vintage Rock n Roll tunes, Ska numbers and a grooving Funk set should a particular event call for it. Whatever style it is, Goosebumps never fail to liven up any event, so book them now - they'll cook up a storm!

Where are they based?

The band are based in and around Canterbury and Maidstone area but play all over Kent, Sussex, London and further afield
