1940’s Events

No 1940’s event would be complete without the sounds of ‘The Big Band’

We have an extensive repertoire of music from the Big Band Era to cater for your event…from the likes of Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Harry James, Count Basie, Woody Herman, Duke Ellington and many more.

We are happy to tailor a programme to fit whatever mix of styles you need for your event and can play special requests if we can obtain the music.

Here is a recent video clip of The Umbrella Big Band playing Two O’Clock Jump
