Our first gig of 2024 is next Friday at Greenodd Village Hall. The full Swing Band will be performing, and there will be a few numbers from the Little Big Band as well.

Entry is on the door (£8/£5), and you are encouraged to bring your own refreshments (of any type) and snacks, although tea & coffee will be available. Seating is cabaret style.

Students need to arrive by 7pm at the latest so that we can get set up on the (small) stage and work out the best way to squeeze together – any advanced Tetris players are welcome to come and observe/advise!!!!

Uniform is: black shoes/socks, black jeans/trousers, Swing Band shirt/black shirt (I am trying to either get hold of more band shirts or make them available to buy online.

Below is the provisional set list for the Swing Band gig on Friday 1st March. Please could all players ensure they are happy with it? LBB is the ‘Little Big Band’.

#As you all know, we are once again hosting the Royal Marines on 26th/27th April at The Coro. The concert on the 27th features UVHS Wind Band and th Marines in a joint concert. Tickets are now available here:

Please could all players have a listen to this version of ‘I Wish‘ which our version is vaguely based upon – ignore the over-indulgent piano intro!!!!
