Music from the 30- 50s for Lindy Hop, foxtrot and various social dances. The Bluestones Big band will be playing jazz standards and swinging tunes.
Free tea and coffee will be available, but we are asking guests to bring their own cups, saucers, tea pots etc. to save ourselves the washing up. You'll also need to bring any other refreshments you desire. We think that you could have fun dressing your table: bring a tablecloth, cake stand, flowers... The choice is yours and we will be providing prizes for the most impressive/imaginative etc. Get planning now, and we'll all enjoy the beautiful tables!

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.
