Get your glad rags on and join us for what is sure to feel like you’ve travelled back in time to party Gatsby style! The Big Easy are a firm favourite of M&P’s, and everything you would expect to find if you were in a Speakeasy Jazz Bar at the start of the 20th Century. Make sure you wear your dancing shoes, and we suggest ordering a Martini to complete the look!
The Big Easy are an energetic swing band from Leeds, consisting of vocals, trumpet, guitar, piano, saxophone, double bass and drums. Their repertoire is carefully chosen to give a lively and varied performance of the best swing from throughout the 20th century; covering repertoire from the early days of jazz, classic New Orleans tunes and lively jump-jive.
Since its birth in the 1920s, swing has been music for celebration. The Big Easy have taken some of the greatest tunes by the giants of swing; Louis Armstrong, Louis Prima, Nina Simone and many more household names, added their own interesting arrangements to bring you a set of the finest swing tunes. The Big Easy has been busy since 2014, playing at some of the UK’s top venues, festivals and touring throughout the UK.
Their dynamic, energetic and often virtuosic performances make them great to watch; their high-energy swing interspersed with moments of soulful-melancholy are sure to make your Friday night entertainment something truly special. From Sweet Georgia Brown all the way through to King of the Swingers… The Big Easy have it all!
