A return by the ensemble that began our involvement with Big Band Music, The Urban Big Band is a meaty, swinging band that provides a varied programme of music from the classic big band era mixed with some more recent compositions and styles. Always lively, this is a band that obviously enjoys itself and communicates this to its audience, which in turn creates a marvellous afternoon’s musical entertainment. In addition to all of that, you are highly likely to get the bonus of a vocal or two from the marvellous bassist and vocalist Charlie Pyne. The Urban is a perennially popular band at Googlies and early booking is recommended.
Entrance £8 members, £11 non-members. There is a 50% reduction for students at all events.
