County Durham Jazz & Swing Band
The Gershwin Gang Jazz and Swing Band is a sophisticated jazz band with a large repertoire of jazz favourites. The band is ideal for receptions, dinners and dances, such as weddings, birthdays, anniversaries and corporate events e.g. exhibitions, product launches, ‘Peaky Blinders’ parties, ‘Gin and Jazz’ etc.
We are a 1920s’ jazz/swing band that performs all over County Durham – not an agency that books different bands from London. So you can speak right now to our band leader who will give you a quote for The Gershwin Gang to play at your party.
Don’t worry if your event is very soon – next week or even tomorrow! Some of our musicians will probably still be available so we will try to give you the best price we can.
Subscribing to the principle that the old songs really are the best, our jazz and swing band specialises in the well-known jazz/swing songs from the 1920s and 1930s written by the Gershwin brothers, Cole Porter and Irving Berlin and made popular by Fred Astaire, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole and Sinatra.
We also play more modern songs with a jazzy twist.
We are regularly booked to perform at venues all around County Durham – in hotels, village halls, company offices and in private homes and marquees in the garden.
Our line-up ranges from solo to quintet but its most popular format is a Manhattan-style trio comprising piano/vocals, double bass and drums. Whatever the format, our music will brighten any event while ensuring that it is not so loud as to spoil your guests’ enjoyment and drown conversation!
To hear our music just click ‘Samples’ at the top of the page – or ask us for some sound files and we will email them to you immediately.
If you require the band for your wedding in the evening, our pianist can also come earlier in the afternoon for the ceremony and drinks reception.
We can also provide a disco at the end of the evening to compliment the live jazz and swing band.
Our Durham and Bishop Auckland-based musicians have more than 20 years’ experience of playing at weddings, parties and corporate events just like yours. And we will try our best to fit within your budget.
Contact our band leader now for friendly advice, free music samples, availability and prices. You can ring us any day of the week between 9am and 9pm, including week ends. Or just email/text us and we will try to get back to you in 10 minutes.
