Description

Sponsored by Plastics Direct Ltd

Who better to open the festival and get the party going than these Kings of Swing? This fantastic band has been on the road for two decades playing every European country, the USA and Russia. Dazzling musicianship and riveting stage performances.

“The hardest act to follow since the parting of The Red Sea”, (Paul Jones, BBC Radio 2)

“Behind the fun and rollicking good times lies an outfit with the bite and precision of the Basie Band”. (The Guardian)
