Swinging the Lead
The Antidote to Boy Bands
These just some of Swinging the Lead's current repertoire! Tell us any you'd like us to include!
You can see from the list below how wide are our musical influences. They have all been recorded by a number of different artists, some many times over. When we play any of these, we play our own arrangements so you can expect an original and lively interpretation of the music. Think of folk music played with the exuberance and freedom of jazz! This allows our performances to be fresh and dynamic. Like Lonnie Donnegan, we never play the same arrangement twice! So be prepared to be surprised and delighted!
