They also thoroughly enjoy playing for swing dancers and perform for Swing Patrol and The Swingsters on a regular basis.

“A regular hit with our audiences, and a great group that we can't stop going back to. We program them on a number of occasions, and we're always asked by our audiences when they're next going to be with us. A real feel good group that our audiences can't get enough of!” Arts Depot

“The music is so evocative and everyone is so talented. A real treat.” Heath and Hampstead Society
