The Phil Dando Big Band
Phil Dando Big Band
The Phil Dando Big Band is a fifteen piece Swing Band consisting of five saxophones, four trumpets, piano, bass, drums, vocalists Brian Crane and Heather Castle and Phil himself on trombone. Male vocals are drawn from the libraries of Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Michael Bublé, Bobby Darren, Dean Martin and Matt Monro to name but a few and from our female vocalist comes a range of songs from Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holliday, Shirley Bassey and many other greats.

The Big Band, along with the fabulous Vocal Group, produces a wonderfully rich sound as it recreates the music from the Big Band years. The original Big Band Library has been created by trumpeter and arranger Mike Blake and encompasses music from the Big Band Swing Era, Rat Pack songs, Ballroom, Latin and a good range of Classic Pop hits.

The Big Band's programme can be tailored to suit individual requirements ranging from a Wedding, a Theatre Show, an Outdoor Festival, Corporate Event, Dinner Dance and Parties of all descriptions when the band switches into party mode with a selection of hits from the 1940's, 50's, 60’s, 70’s and 80’s.

The Big Band has it's own PA system and a fully independent lighting rig helps complete the line up.
