Tony Jacobs

Tony Jacobs and his musicians present ‘A Swell Party’ - a celebration of some of the greatest popular music of all time.

From Irving Berlin and Cole Porter to Flanders and Swan; Tin Pan Alley to Broadway and the Hollywood Musical, this wonderful show has it all.

Music and songs include Alexander’s Ragtime Band, From This Moment On, Sisters, A Foggy Day, Chattanooga Choo-Choo, Georgia On My Mind, Tiger Rag, An Apple For The Teacher, Ugly Duckling, You’re Just In Love, Smile, There’s No Business Like Show Business, Someone To Watch Over Me, Sweet Georgia Brown, Lady Be Good and many, many others.

Tony Jacobs is one of the country’s most entertaining performers. After a five year tenure fronting the tea-dance band at London’s Waldorf Hotel, Tony joined the Syd Lawrence Orchestra and there he remained for ten years – touring the UK and Europe, appearing on TV and radio and performing in venues including London’s Barbican and the Royal Albert Hall. Since leaving the orchestra, Tony has produced highly successful theatre shows (including tonight’s), sung on Radio 2’s Friday Night Is Music Night’ and performed in New York at the iconic Birdland and with Grammy award-winning Vince Giordano’s Nighthawks.
