Alisa Lands Swing Quartet
Nov 12th
8-10:30pm
Be transported back to a classy 1930’s Parisian night club with a lead singer that has the power of Barbara Streisand and the emotional delivery of Edith Piaf plus great Swing and Jazz musicians, we’re in for a treat!
The Alisa Lands Swing Band are an exciting gypsy-swing style band inspired by the vibrant Hot Jazz of 1930s–40s Paris. Their repertoire features uplifting gypsy swing numbers from the Django Reinhardt era, timeless Jazz standards from the Great American Songbook, sultry Latin flavours, and evocative French Chansons — all delivered in their distinctive, invigorating
gypsy-swing sound.
They’ve delighted dancers at our swing and tea dance events for many years, offering high-quality, engaging music perfect for both dancing and listening!
Swingsters supports weekly live music!
