 The Phil Dando Big Band on stage! |
The band faultlessly recreates the sound of the Big Band era with such all time classics as String of Pearls, One O'Clock Jump, Perfidia, Pennsylvania 65000 to name but a few. Trumpeter Mike Blake's superb original arrangements also include music which ranges from the Roaring Twenties right through to the present day. Singers Heather Castle and Brian Crane add their own distinctive sounds to the bands repertoire and there is even a vocal group to add to your enjoyment. |
