Swing is performed by using vocal and music arrangements that use rhythmic ‘riffs’ Developed in the 1930’s after the 20’s Dixieland styles, swing gave the melody an added depth. Band instrumentation changed in the 30’s the rhythm led by a piano, bass, and drums. Swing was the king in New York and throughout the country, from it came jive and boogie-woogie and the jitterbug or bop, a great source of touch dancing that disappeared in the 60’s and 70’s. Swing produced the ‘cats’ and ‘kittens’ or hep-cats fans in their millions. Now in America there are jiving-swing dancing venues with members in their 20’s and 30’s learning the fun of partner dancing once more. So put your glad rags on and come on in and join the fun, as the song says, ‘It don’t mean a thing if it aint got that swing’.
WEDDINGS Ideal for that wedding breakfast or evening Buffet. An hour of the sounds of the rat pack in the background to listen or to dance and to entertain the guests whilst they have their reception drinks or photo’s taken. We can also cover the whole evening with background and party music mixed with live sets.
CORPORATE EVENTS Great to entertain the guests as they arrive for pre dinner drinks - An hour of the big band Rat pack live vocals on superb playback tracks. Then through the dinner with a mixture of 50’s 60’s 70’s live vocals sung to playback tracks - including smooch time in between the courses - Songs from the great ballads of Nat King Cole, The Platters. Etc.
GOLDEN, RUBY and SILVER ANNIVERSARIES An ideal opportunity to book a whole evening of your music - A great mixture of background and party music mixed with live vocal sets.
We have received the following from the client, I would just like to say how nice the gentlemen were. Everyone enjoyed the entertainment and I would book them again. ST. Upminster
Back to Back are fantastic, it was a shame that there wasn't enough people at the club to enjoy them, but everyone who did attend thought that they were great. Watford Labour club
We were very impressed with the performance, quality of
Back2back Swing. We had a lovely time, every one who attended
thought they were very good, I would not hesitate to re book or
recommend them to friends and family. Thank you for a wonderful
evening. Rochester
I had such a fantastic time on my 40th birthday, everyone loved
Back2Back Swing - from younger to older members of my party.
many people asked for their details during the following weeks
and i will recommend them in the future. Thank you so much for
making my 40th a night to remember. - Hornchurch
Just a note to say what a fantastic evening we have had - the guys were absolutely wonderful and really made it a special evening for us. They were very adaptable, especially to our small event and felt like guests - but with great voices ! ....Harlow
Once again Robin and Geoff made our special occasion (Joint 25th Silver<BR>Wedding anniversary / 50th birthday party ) even more special with their<BR>superb performances, we were delighted they were able to do a return visit. Our ballroom dancing classes paid off and it was lovely to be able to practise all our steps to the fabulous 'rat pack' numbers and - as one guest put it: 'real music - music as it should be done!' (we quite agree). Forget disco - this is the way to make an event swing! Even those who preferred not to dance told us how much they were enjoying the opportunity to just sit and relax listening to them, and so many said how excellent they were, a very slick performance.
