For over a decade, The Southwest Swing Collective have been delighting audiences throughout the UK with their high energy mix of soul, funk, pop, disco and swing, making them the perfect choice for your special event. Whether it's a wedding, birthday party, anniversary, corporate party or festival. The Southwest Swing Collective have a wealth of experience when it comes to keeping the dancefloor jumping and your guests smiling.
With an extensive playlist, The Southwest Swing Collective cover a wide range of artists from modern-day icons such as Bruno Mars, Pharrell Williams, Cee-Lo Green and Justin Timberlake as well as all-time musical legends including Stevie Wonder, James Brown, Marvin Gaye and Ray Charles. Add to this The Southwest Swing Collective's long list of swing, Latin and jive tunes (more details below), and you have a band that can tailor their performance to suit any occasion and make any event a special event.
The Southwest Swing Collective are available as either a five-piece band (vocals, sax, keyboards, bass and drums) or a six-piece (including guitar), the difference being that the six-piece option adds further songs to the bands repertoire that rely on the funky sounds of the bands' six-string supremo." For more intimate events, we can also offer a 3 piece version of vocals, sax and piano for listening and setting a cool vibe.

Our space requirements are something like 3.5m deep by 4.5m across min (bit more would be better still) If it is in a marquee then we do however need a solid, flat, horizontal surface to set up on which is especially crucial for the drummer and pianist/ keyboardist.
Minimum requirements are 2 separate 13 amp supplies within 3 metres of the performance area (so if inside just 2 separate sockets in the vicinity of the band area.If in a marquee, 2 supplies taken from different sockets or 2 sockets from a generator with enough input to handle it (something like a 4KW supply))
Including our sound engineer
For the very best results and/or if you need the quickest set up possible then bringing in our sound engineer as well would be a good choice. With this option the sound engineer can help set up the PA system and also adjust the balance of the band as we go.It is fine just setting the balance at the start and then leaving it but you get an even better sound if someone is constantly on it. It also means the band can completely concentrate on performing without having to attend to technical issues.
Yes. We are completely self contained. We bring our own PA and also a 4 light lighting rig.
We can sort this nearer the time but we would probably speak with the venue co-ordinator. Knowing the size of the performance space and whether there is a sound limiter would be helpful to know.
We will play our generic playlist through our PA before and during our sets. We are also happy to play your playlist through our PA too.
It has to be the main stage at the Dart Music Festival. The sun was shining, the crowd loved what we did and we got rebooked!
Swing: Frank Sinatra and the rest of the Rat Pack and Michael Buble.
Pop, soul, motown: Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Bruno Mars, Pharrell Williams.
We've been working as a band for over 20 years. We initially came together as like minded musicians wanting to go out and play great music for weddings, parties and more.
We embrace them all. It's the vibe of the event not the type of event which gets us most excited.
2 x 1hr sets. We find this works best. If however if 3x 40 mins fit into their timings better we can do that as well (both generally over a 3hr period)
We like to allow 90 mins for set up. That said if a quicker set up is required we can be more prepared and we can probably get it done in about hour from gaining access to the space.
Yes but we need to make sure our electrical equipment is safe from the rainy British wedding which generally means we will need some cover over the stage area like a gazebo.
You can have an input as to what we play from our extensive playlist.
The best wedding band they have ever seen!
