Friday 24th September 2021 - "The Hint Of Swing Big Band"
There’s more than a “hint” of swing when this 18 piece ensemble take to the stage. They each have an impeccable musical pedigree, and when they come together under the baton of their new Musical Director Ivan Cocking, they’re being led by big band royalty in order to deliver what their audience has come to hear. Ivan not only led and administered army bands during his extensive and distinguished military career, but he also went on to work with some of the most famous names in show business, including Shirley Bassey, Roy Orbison, Eartha Kitt and Helen Shapiro.
It’s therefore hardly surprising that their repertoire ranges from favourites of yesteryear to the swinging sixties and seventies, featuring two experienced vocalists. James Henshaw also plays trumpet (but not at the same time as he sings – he’s good, but not that good!), while Corina Sills is Conservatorium-trained and brings with her an impressive record of TV and stage performances in her own right.
So sit back, open your ears and let the memories flow back in for a night of nostalgia on steroids.
