The Northern Swing Orchestra is a 16 piece Big Band based in Leeds, West Yorkshire, we play some of the very best in big band music.
We have an extensive Swing Band library including numbers made famous by the bands of Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington, and Count Basie, to name just a few. More recently, the band’s library has grown to include new arrangements by some of the country’s leading composers and arrangers.
The vocalists enthral audiences with classic Frank Sinatra, Bobby Darrin, Ella Fitzgerald and Judy Garland numbers.
