A 17-PIECE big band will present a nostalgic evening of classic swing music for Live at St Wilfrid’s on Thursday, October 12.

Swingshift will showcase the songs of Glenn Miller and Frank Sinatra at St Wilfrid’s Church in Church Lane, Grappenhall, from 7.30pm

The band, based in Ormskirk, regularly play at big band and jazz clubs around the UK.

They are also the resident big band for Southport Melodic Jazz Club

A spokesman for Live at St Wilfrid’s said: “Swingshift Big Band, directed by saxophonist, Phil Shotton, swung into life in 2000.

“It has gained an excellent reputation for being a versatile, dedicated, well-rehearsed and fun band.

“There is nothing like the experience of a live 17-piece big band fronted by a great singer, and they regularly work with a fabulous singer, Chris James, who has an extraordinary voice, an immense talent and a real mastery of the classics.”
