New Big Band

We have recently formed the 'Wantage Big Band'! It is an 18-piece swing band, performing music from many legendary artists, including Count Basie, Glen Miller and Duke Ellington, to name but a few. The Band's programme can be tailored to suit individual requirements such as weddings, outdoor festivals, corporate events and parties of all descriptions, where the band can play a selection of hits from the 20's to the 80's. As well as performing as an 18 piece, the band can also play as a smaller combi.

Its players comprise many music graduates from London, Manchester, Birmingham and Welsh music colleges.
