We’re interested in getting an agent. We can’t believe that there is no person or organisation in the arts that thinks a 20piece big band is not worth £5k for a two hourlong sets of classic big band music. If you do, DM us.
Hello folks! It's that time again - the next Big Band Double Header is coming up! And this month we have the ever-brilliant Blake's Heaven! It'll be a fab evening of great music with some truly original arrangements. Bring your friends and family - and your Dancing Shoes!
Experienced Jazz & swing drummer needed to join established Oxford Big Band. Sight reading ability preferred! Wide repertoire of classic and modern swing tunes and songs. DM me for details.
Weekly rehearsals Thurs evenings. Around 12 gigs a year, mostly on Thursdays, in Oxford.
