I have seen the Kings of Swing five times now and they are amazing. If you are a fan of the Rat Pack or Bobby Darin, the show is a must. Fantastically entertaining and highly recommended for a great night out.

This was a stunning show, very well received by an enthralled audience. The three musicians (violin, guitar, double bass) gave a  display of integrated virtuousity, delivered with energy, passion and humour.

The excellent soloing and vocals, underpinned by driving slap bass and brilliant chord work on guitar, and combined with a winning stage presence, was irresistible. Please come back soon! [less]

He is a fabulous singer but is getting a bit 'sickly sweet' with the chat. He was better in that respect when I saw him on tour earlier in his career.

Wow! Actually she really can sing like Ella Fitzgerald, and Sarah Vaughan and Nina Simone. This lass has a real top voice, and she's funny as well. We saw her at the Komedia in Brighton hosting a sort of variety show May, lets face it, she was the show. It was so refreshing to hear a singer who can really deliver a great tune from top to bottom. I can't believe she's not totally famous.
Well I'm glad cause it means we can still afford to see her. [less]
