the squid swing set

 
 

The swing set is a five piece jazz &     easy listening band. The longest  running version of the squids, the  swing set have been playing together for nearly ten years evolving their unique  repertoire of jazz standards, Latino, blues and 60's T.V. theme tunes.

 

With a residency every Sunday, for six years, the repertoire exploded, as have the musicians who make an input.

We can call on professional players from around the country and turn up just about anywhere that needs good quality music from people who can gauge an audience and respond to their needs.

As a great all rounder of a band the Swing set can get just about every party guest smiling.. 

 

The squid swing set and friends were also the resident band for the Lost Vagueness silver service 'al a Carte' restaurant at Glastonbury festival in both 2002 and 2003. Last year we played over 24 hours of live music over a three day period.
