What a beautiful evening we had, thanks for making my Birthday party so special.
The Swing Effect have a bespoke set list which are unique to the band
- Can I Request a song which isn’t on their set list? Of course you can just give us a call let us know well in advance and we can get in touch with the band
- Can you set-up earlier? – Yes! Great if you want to avoid disturbing the ambience if everything is taking place in the same room.
- Can you finish later? – Yes! whilst most venues are licensed until midnight, they realise that many are fine to continue the celebrations until 1am
The time and effort they put into creating set lists is of great importance to them. Everything they perform for you, has been arranged by their co-founder and Double Bass player Tom.
This means their bespoke arrangements of classic jazz standards and swing tunes, to the postmodern jukebox style songs, are completely unique to The Swing Effect.
A normal standard performance is 2 x 60 mins
