Come along and enjoy the Big Band sound as the Syd Lawrence Orchestra transports you back to the heyday of swing. Now boasting 12 years as the ‘Best Big Band in the Land’ this new show celebrates the music of Glenn Miller, Count Basie, Tommy Dorsey, Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman, Billy May, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald and many more; recreating the romance music lovers had with Big bands in the mid-20th century. Bold and exuberant; the chemistry between the audience and music just sparks, all overseen by the quick wit and charisma of Chris Dean.
