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 village halls to stages at all the big festivals, and have supported and played with a number of big acts.
Playing 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), they're bound to get your audience smiling, tapping their toes, and singing along.

Testimonials Datganiadau
"Thank you for giving us a fantastic fun night out. On a wet and windy night there was a great audience, many of whom had travelled 40 miles or more to attend the first Aberjazz event of 2022. The show was vibrant, funny and very entertaining with quirky versions of familiar songs including jazz standards and fifties rock ‘n roll. A large part of the audience was made up of dancers who relished the opportunity to strut their stuff to a live band, much to the delight of the non-dancers who had the pleasure of watching these great dancers while at the same time enjoying an exceedingly engaging band."
Mr & Mrs Stronghold, organisers of Aberjazz Festival and Night Out promoters
"Should you want to have a great evening's entertainment, you need to look no further than Swingin' Bill's Vintage Revue. They are great fun, play a wide range of music and will soon have the audience's feet tapping and singing along with them. I have no hesitation in recommending them."
J Rowlands B.E.M., Chair of Hood Memorial Hall, Devauden
