VINTAGE RETRO SWING BAND

20s to 40s Swing Band Specialists Performing Modern Songs

6 Piece Young Vintage Swing Band 

“We couldn’t have been more delighted with Hot Shoes performance, the dance floor was packed from the moment they started and stayed that way for the whole set!”

“They were amazingly relaxed and flexible – exactly what you need on your wedding day when nothing seems to run quite to plan!”

“The whole experience was great, from the ease of booking to your response to my questions, thank you!”

“Punctual and professional, I will definitely book them again…”

This young and energetic swing ensemble guarantees to get your feet tapping with their exciting arrangements from the swing era and beyond.

The band was founded with dancing in mind, but we find that our broad repertoire is popular with all ages and tastes. Ideal for weddings, parties and dance events the Mr Swing is a professional, experienced and entertaining band that always goes down well!

They love to mix the repertoire up and perform a wide range of swing songs, but something that sets them apart are the innovative arrangements of modern popular songs in a classic 20’s style

As you may have noticed, we have two different female singers. Both singers perform with us full time as we perform at a large number events throughout the year. We also offer the option of adding more brass or you can choose the slightly smaller five piece version of the band (see booking options).

The band have a wealth of experience of performing for clients such as Porsche, GQ Magazine, Diageo and DHL as well weddings all over the UK. We have also had the privilege to play for The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince Charles and Camilla and The Duchess of Cornwall. Furthermore, we’ve performed at Jazz clubs and festivals around the world, including London Jazz festival, Brecon Jazz festival, Langnau Jazz Nights Switzerland, The 606 Club London, Hay Festival of literature and art and countless more.

We use both female singers seen in our promotional videos. Clients are able to express a preference, but due to availability we cannot guarantee the singer choice.

The in demand 6 piece perform both authentic repertoire from the 20’s-40’s and modern pop tunes in a swing style. If you’re looking for a hot, swinging, vintage party band then look no further!
