The Swing Ninjas Purveyors of Happiness - Dirty-horn, New Orleans swing band

Depending on the band size chosen, we usually just need 1 power socket.

We can provide a small PA system included in the price. Lights and larger PAs can be hired if needed.

We need a contact number for the venue and any parking details.

We can provide a playlist between our sets, and for an extra fee, we can organise a Spotify playlist to play after we have finished.

We were thrilled to play at the European premiere of the Jungle Book movie in London. The best venue we've played was the Splendido in Portofino, Italy - all the elegance of 1940s Italy in a stunning setting.

We adore the music of New Orleans throughout the ages - from Louis Armstrong to Cab Calloway to Nat King Cole. It's impossible to choose just one song - a catalogue of 100 years of stunning music!

We started giving up our day-jobs and busking in the streets of Brighton, UK. Very soon we started touring and becoming busier and have been full-time for nearly 15 years. So many wonderful memories and many more to make in the future. The music and smiles are never-ending.

We adore playing the music we love on a sunny afternoon in a beautiful outdoor setting, but equally, a small, intimate space where everyone is listening to every note is a joy!

Our male group vocals are unique. We're also not pretending to be something we're not - we love the music we play, and our individual styles and approach to music make for a unique listening experience.

We normally allow for 4 hours on-site from arrival to finish, and 90 minutes of music (usually 2x45mins). However, we can always discuss if other timings are needed. We usually allow 1 hour for setup but just for safety - normally much quicker.

Very happy to perform outside - we can be totally acoustic, semi-acoustic (using our battery setup) or with our PA.

We are happy to learn specific songs at an extra cost, otherwise, if you have a preference for a certain style from our current set list, we'll be happy to focus on that more in the performance. We adapt our set list during the performance based on how people are reacting, etc - this makes for the best overall energy for both the band and the guests.

Most people are charmed - we're authentic, we love what we do and that shines out of the music. Even people who don't like swing/jazz /vintage music will enjoy our performance just based on the feel of it.
