Our Music

Covering nearly 100 years from the 1920’s onwards we play the music of Benny Goodman, Ted Heath, Gene Austin, Glenn Miller, Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Bob Hope, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, Herbie Hancock, Gerry Raferty , Wilson Pickett, Mama Cass, Vera Lynn, Elton John, Supremes, the Beachboys, the Beatles … and many, many more.

We even have Amy Winehouse, Caro Emerald, and Pharell Williams (Happy)!

As a band we are lucky with our in-house arrangers.

Dave Egerton arranged all of our original arrangements creating a large library of excellent music.

Today our librarian, Howard Keable, re-arranges many pieces to suit our line-up. We also have players who arrange for us from scratch including Philippa Simpson. This combination has given us a wide variety of styles and genres, everything from Millers Moonlight Serenade to Van Morrison’s Moondance to Happy to Valerie!
