A Musical Journey Through Decades of Iconic Swing & Big Band Music

Presented by award-winning vocalist and world-class trumpet player, Gareth John, and featuring the stunning SOS Big BandThe Story of Swing takes you on a musical journey through decades of the iconic genre of swing and big band music.

Featuring the classic, much-loved hits of Bobby Darin, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr, right through to modern day crooners such as Michael Buble, Robbie Williams, Matt Goss, Paul Anka and Harry Connick Jr.
