About
Aperitif Swing are an exceptionally talented jazz ensemble based in the Midlands who perform at all types of events from sophisticated champagne receptions to swinging wedding receptions.
With experience performing at Ronnie Scott’s and the Jazz Festival, the band pride themselves on being versatile. Aperitif Swing offer a range of line-ups to suit all types of events, whether it’s a duo for a relaxed dinner or a quartet for something more upbeat to get people up and dancing.
Musically trained at Royal Conservatoires across the country, the band cover all the greats from Frank Sinatra to Stevie Wonder. Recent clients the group have entertained include Longchamp, Ashurst Law Firm, The Royal Society of Arts, and The Bank of America.
Aperitif Swing made the restaurant sound as though you'd just stepped into a New York Jazz Club in the 50s. Dressed impeccably, arrived and set up with no fuss, and delivered a performance which created a beautifully warm atmosphere for the guests.
