Combining a homecoming show for Story of Swing host Gareth John, and the launch of his long-awaited third album, we are delighted to be bringing the show to LEICESTER this winter! With an expanded big band and special guests to be announced, this promises to be an electric, one off event, that you do not want to miss!
Presented by Award winning vocalist and World Class trumpet player, Gareth John and featuring the stunning SOS Big Band – The Story of Swing takes you on a musical journey through decades of the iconic genre of swing and big band music.
Featuring the classic, much-loved hits of Bobby Darin, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr, right through to modern day crooners such as Michael Buble, Robbie Williams, Matt Goss, Paul Anka and Harry Connick Jr.
Gareth is renowned for his top-class showmanship, performing from the heart with huge passion for the genre. His stage presence and natural rapport with the audience are second to none. Not surprising, as he has shared the stage with many household names, including The Beautiful South, The Specials and many more.
Gareth will also be joined by some very special guests on the night!
