    dunno about the instrumentation you mentioned but The Roaring 40s are an excellent swing band. based in cork i think. played at my friend's wedding a few years ago and went down a storm. top musicians all of them, great show.

    Ah, "swing dancing" as opposed to "swing music", two very different animals -- as my swing band discovered in the past!

    Hi there,

    We're the Swingin' Bluecats, a 6 piece (Double Bass/Drums/Guitar/Baritone Sax/Tenor Sax/Trumpet) Jump/Jive/Swing band playing classics from the 1940's to present (but always in the "Swing" style). I'd send you more info and some pics if I knew how. In the meantime, you could simply Google us or check out our outdated website at www.swinginbluecats.com. All the best for now!
