Now established as one of the UK’s favourite dance big bands, The Big R are facilitators of SWING.
This is your last chance of the year to catch them in action, all in the hot, fun, and sweaty intimate Canteen: The Big R are going to blow the bloody doors off.
Led by Bristol's best dressed drummer, Richie Paradise and his chums will have you Lindy hopping, Balbaoing, Jiving, Jitterbugging, Shagging (it's not what you think), and much more. This band are Savoy savvy, so if you’re desperate for some Duke, or begging for Basie, The Big R have got you covered.
Dashing, debonair, dandy and dapper, the classic swing tunes of the 30's and 40's are sounding, and looking, pretty damn good.
