Down For The Count Swing Orchestra

Down for the Count are a UK-based swing band, known for their energetic performance, sublime musicianship, and love and respect for the music of the Great American Songbook. They perform in two line-ups: the 10-piece Down for the Count All-Stars and the 30-piece Down for the Count Swing Orchestra.

This "big band with strings" is styled after the Capitol Studios orchestras of the 1950s, and performs the music of Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole and Judy Garland alongside original arrangements. Every year, the Orchestra goes on a national tour with its festive extravaganza, Swing Into Christmas.
