The orchestra draws its repertoire from the libraries of the best big bands from both sides of the Atlantic - bands such as Glenn Miller, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, The Rat Pack, Woody Herman, Stan Kenton, Ted Heath, Ken Mackintosh, Benny Goodman and many more. The programme, although ever evolving, always provides excitement, nostalgia and class.

Nearly thirty years after its inception and now under the leadership of Joe Pettitt, the band can be seen up and down the country playing at concert halls, theatres, festivals and jazz clubs.
