The band was founded with dancing in mind and we find that our broad repertoire is popular with all ages and tastes. Ideal for weddings, parties and dance events - The Kings of Hot Swing is a professional, experienced and entertaining band that always goes down well!

We are steeped in the tradition of the 1920s swing era and perform classics such as The Charleston and "It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing". However, our speciality is performing modern Pop music in a swing style for weddings and parties. Our set includes songs from artists such as; Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Pharrell Williams and Daft Punk. See below for our full set list!

As you may have noticed, we have two different female singers. Both singers perform with us full-time as we perform at a large number of events throughout the year. We also offer the option of adding more brass or you can choose the slightly smaller five-piece version of the band (see booking options).

The Kings of Hot Swing have a wealth of experience of performing for clients such as Porsche, GQ Magazine, Diageo and DHL as well as weddings all over the UK. We have also had the privilege to play for The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince Charles and Camilla and The Duchess of Cornwall. Furthermore, we’ve performed at Jazz clubs and festivals around the world, including London Jazz Festival, Brecon Jazz Festival, Langnau Jazz Nights Switzerland, The 606 Club London, Hay Festival of literature and art and countless more.
