The Moonlight Swing Band is a Dorset based big band.

The band provides an opportunity for amateur musicians to improve their skills with regular rehearsals and performances. We meet every fortnight and present concerts and dances throughout the South West. We have raised thousands of pounds for charity since 2002.

We have performed on BBC Radio and have also recorded an album ‘In a Sentimental Mood’ ~ see our  CD page for details

The band is completely self-funding and regularly supports local charities through our own events and engagements. We are also available for private bookings at reasonable rates.

Our repertoire includes a varied selection of charts ranging from modern versions of well-loved tunes to big band standards, encompassing swing, latin and jazz as well as romantic ballads. Our featured vocalists perform some of the most beautiful songs ever written. We perform music associated with the greatest singers such as Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald and Nina Simone.

Our Musical Director Kevin Morgan joined us at the beginning of 2009. As a trombonist he has performed with many of the country’s finest orchestras and is Principal Trombone with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra. He is also a composer and arranges for the band.

Our vocalist is Colin Robbins, long time lead singer with the fabulous ‘Bourne Durty’ which performed regularly at The Crown, Winterborne Stickland.
