Avenue 54

Needless to say the most popular wedding acts we book for clients are your standard live wedding acts but occasionally we are asked to source jazz and swing acts for weddings and below you’l find a selection of them.

Live and swingin’ is a popular and dynamic cabaret show which features classic and popular songs from the original ratpack/swing artistes, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr, Bobby Darin, Matt Monro as well as current stars of the genre such as Harry Connick jr and Michael Bublé. This high energy show is performed by either two or three or four fabulous vocalists who all happen to be great friends. Expect to hear classic hit after hit in a show which is ideal for wedding entertainment, after dinner cabaret, theatres or any event which is looking for a Ratpack/swing show which will both entertain and create a great atmosphere.

Need a big band sound but haven’t got the space? Do you want to have an evening of dancing to hot swing and jive from some of the finest swing musicians in Yorkshire? Look no further; Avenue 54 has the perfect solution for you. Avenue 54 is a hot swing rhythm and blues band based in Leeds, guaranteed to get you jumping and jiving to the classic hits of the new and old swing and rock “n” roll tunes. Their music includes works from artists including Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles, Bobby Darin, The Blues Brothers, Brian Setzer, Peggy Lee, Bill Haley and Michael Bublé.

The Counsellors are a seven piece extravaganza of a band. Their sound is classic lounge, with a twist of lemon, and an extra jigger of dry Vermouth. Comprised of vocals, three horns (trombone, trumpet and sax), guitar, bass and drums, The Counsellors swing (and we mean swing) from all over the world, with members from Australia, Canada, Brazil, Ireland and Scotland. Combine all these finger clickin’ ingredients and you have a veritable fondue of grooves, taking musical titbits from Dusty Springfield, Doris Day, Aretha Franklin, Patsy Cline, Sammy Davis Jnr and er, The Carpenters.
