Jonathan Wyatt – Swing Band Leader
After running the Jonathan Wyatt Big Band in East Anglia for 30 years, Jonathan relocated to Huddersfield and started the Northern Swing Orchestra Big Band which captures the sound of the big band era.
As a band leader Jonathan takes pride in the versatility of the band which has performed at a wide range of venues. As well as concerts, the band is often booked for dances offering the chance for people to foxtrot, quickstep and jive to the fantastic sound of a live big band.
Whether it is the nostalgia of the 1940’s or the excitement of big band jazz, The Northern Swing Orchestra will always provide excellent entertainment.
