The heartbeat of the night will be the wonderful big band itself, an electrifying 26-piece orchestra comprising some of the finest musicians in the land, the perfect complement for spine-tingling performances by a roster of top guest singers.

Backed by a tasty cocktail of tango, salsa, tap and jive dance routines from the ballroom, glittering costumes as sharp as a needle factory and classic archive big-screen footage from some of the most famous venues of the time, Simply Big Band is the show that brings this truly golden era back to glorious life.

You will be transported back to a pulsating epoch when immortals such as Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Frank Sinatra and Ray Charles ruled the boards, and legendary big band leaders such as Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington and Quincy Jones were the musical masters of their generation.

Simply Big Band will have you clicking your fingers from the first beat, bopping in your seat by the interval and dancing in the aisles by the final encore.
