With a monthly residency at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club, Kai’s Cats is led by the lovely American songstress Kai Hoffman. With a flare for the 1950s, Kai's Cats dress and swing in the manner of the true entertainers of the era - Nat King Cole, Louis Prima, Louis Jordan and more. This band has something for everyone - and can play both background jazz and up-tempo jumpin' jive for dancing later on! High-energy kitsch classics of the highest callibre!

Our tunes are perfect for Lindy-hopping and other types of swing dance, as well as for pure listening pleasure. And even if you don't know how to swing, we'll have your guests jivin' in no time! Perfect for corporate parties, weddings and social dancing.

A six-piece band, Kai's Cats play a swingin’ retro mix of tunes from the 40s, 50s and 60s. With numbers like Louis Jordan’s ‘There Ain’t Nobody Here But Us Chickens’ and a jump-jived version of Nat King Cole’s ‘Mona Lisa’ this band is guaranteed to get toes tappin’!
