Swing State, an international group of talented musicians, have performed live on BBC Radio 3, at renowned jazz venues across the UK such as Ronnie Scott's, SevenArts Leeds and Pizza Express Jazz Club, as well as at numerous private events and weddings, including at high-profile venues such as The Royal Automobile Club.
They are able to offer one free song request if it's not already in their repertoire list, depending on suitability. Most of their clients book them for a performance duration of 2 x 45-minute sets.
It takes them approximately 60 - 90 minutes to set up before their performance.
They can provide suitable pre-recorded music during their intervals, or you can bring your own playlist on an iPod or similar and use their PA system. They provide their own lighting.
With the perfect balance of experience, talent and youthful energy, Swing State are sure to make your event one to remember.

"They were perfect for our venue, I hired the band to perform a Gatsbys themed Christmas Ball. From start to finish, an impressive performance, everyone had an amazing night on the dance floor, all down to Swing State going above and beyond to meet our expectations. Thanks Chris for keeping me in the loop and well done to the band for an outstanding performance. Regards Dan"

Verified booking on FixTheMusic"Thank you so much for playing on Friday, you were all absolutely amazing and easily one of the best swing bands we have ever danced to! The highlight was being able to do the shim sham to you guys playing T'ain't what you do (and well done on doing that so last minute) and everyone kept commenting on what a beautiful voice Rebecca has. I will be recommending you to EVERYONE!"
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"My son and his fiancée booked Swing State for their wedding. Wow! Just brilliant!! If you like Postmodern Jukebox you will love this band. They were a huge hit with all the guests and I would book them in a heartbeat. Thank you to everyone in the band for adding something special to the event."
