About us:
Swingin' Bill's Vintage Revue are an energetic and highly entertaining six-piece musical act from Cardiff, South Wales, who appeal to all ages, covering classics written by the likes of Louis Prima, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Jordan, Jackie Wilson, Nina Simone, Doris Day, Cab Calloway and Ray Charles.
After decades in the music business, the band's members have played everywhere from village halls to stages at all of the big festivals, and have both provided support for and played with a number of big acts.
We play a mixture of jumping jive, rhythm ‘n’ blues, swing, boogie-woogie and jazz standards (with dashes of rock ‘n’ roll, ragtime and the odd showtune thrown in to leaven the mix). We're bound to get your audience smiling, tapping their toes, and singing along.
