Starting out life as a busking trio in 2010, the Swing Ninjas are one-of-a-kind. Blending vocal harmonies and a mix of New Orleans' swing and vintage UK jazz (with a modern musical flair), this Brighton (UK) based band provides an authentic, up-to-date approach to the sound of a raucous 1930s band to all stages and parties that can fit them on. With 2 original albums and 4 albums of classic US-UK jazz/swing, it’s little wonder this fun-loving, charming and soulful group play over 150 shows a year. 100 year-old music is given a breathe of fresh air by the highly skilled energetic performance, group vocal harmonies, immaculate dress and tongue-in-cheek charm of the band. This is not stagnant swing and jazz as you know it – the sweat and passion is real. They perform in various sized bands, trio up to a 9-piece, acoustic or plugged in, headlining festivals from Virginia to Bahrain. The main 7-piece band comprises of alto sax, baritone sax, helicon/tuba, Gibson guitar, double bass, piano and drums and features group vocal harmonies. The smaller band can be mobile or walkabout acoustically (leading a parade or procession) or provide a soundtrack for champagne breakfasts or canapès.
