The Ashby Big Band

The Ashby Big Band is a 13 to 16 piece Swing Orchestra using the classic Big Band formation of saxes, brass and rhythm section of some of the great big bands of the swing era. Our music is a tribute to Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, more recently Ted Heath and a name youngsters will recognise; Jools Holland and his Rhythm and Blues Orchestra.

With this being our flagship band, we rehearse monthly and play at some of the most prestigious events where only the best Big Band will do. The music is rehearsed to perfection and each program is tailored specifically for the event. We are based in Ashby-de-la-Zouch and available across Derbyshire, Wales, Nottingham and Yorkshire.
