Ages Adults Teens
Kick off the festive season in style with the sensational Down for the Count Swing Orchestra, as they return to Tivoli Theatre for their much-loved annual show, Swing Into Christmas! This is a Christmas celebration like no other – the unique 30-piece big band with strings recreates the music of Nat ‘King’ Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday and many more in their own inimitable style.
Expect exuberant recreations of classics from the swing era, including I’ve Got You Under My Skin, New York, New York and That’s Life, alongside original arrangements of jazz and festive standards by principal conductor Mike Paul-Smith and arranger Simon Joyner.
The Down for the Count Orchestra are one of the UK’s most highly regarded vintage ensembles, having sold out numerous shows at Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club, The London Jazz Festival, Cadogan Hall and more.
It may be cold outside, but a night with the Down for the Count Swing Orchestra is guaranteed to leave you in the warm glow of the holiday spirit.
