Swing Band Hire

The Queen will shortly be commemorating her Diamond Jubilee 2012, celebrating a grand total of 60 years as Monarch. Thousands of people around the UK and the Commonwealth will be celebrating over the long bank holiday weekend of 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th June 2012.

The Queen’s Jubilee is often celebrated by memorable street parties, a fantastic British tradition that kicked off after World War II and is carried on with enthusiasm today.

Street parties bring communities together with good food, fun and music outdoors. A fun, lively and stylish band is a must for any celebratory occasion including the Diamond Jubilee so if you are looking to hire a swing band for your street party, why not book Silk Street Swing?

Equally at home indoors or outdoors, Silk Street Swing are the perfect band to create a cheerful party atmosphere with our huge repertoire of tunes and songs. From jazz hits through to funk, swing, blues and rat-pack, Silk Street Swing delivers them all, and will turn up to your Diamond Jubilee street party immaculately dressed and flexible to your unique requirements.

Outdoor tea parties often mean an acoustic band is required to mingle with guests and wander around – no problem for Silk Street Swing, as we are experienced at playing acoustically anywhere from boat races and fêtes to garden parties and festivals.

From a solo artist to a six-piece swing band, Silk Street Swing are sure to have just the right line up, however big or small your celebration. For more information on all swing band options, please visit our help page or our FAQ page where you can find out anything from what we wear to how long we can perform for.
