Swingtime Big Band with Andy Prior & Emma Holcroft

Musical Director and trombonist Jez Murphy launched this dynamic big band a couple of years ago and in that short time it has achieved a fine reputation for high class musicianship, swing and entertainment value. Resident vocalist Emma Holcroft is joined on stage for this gig by Andy Prior. Lancashire born Andy, himself a band leader who has toured the world, including a season in Las Vegas, is without doubt one of the greatest big band singers ever to emerge from the UK. Frank Sinatra himself praised Andy during his stay in the USA. It’s a credit to Swingtime to have Andy on board for this gig and a huge pleasure for SMJ to welcome them all to their first gig at the club for a dip into the classic big band vocal repertoire.
