If you are looking to hire a big band often the accompanying price tag is a put off as you are hiring up to 19 musicians! A. J. Strong and the Biggish Band takes that great music and the classic big band sound, and condenses it down to a Jazz Octet! This makes hiring a “Rat Pack” themed band much more affordable, but no less swinging.

The repertoire of the band covers the most popular numbers from the Great American Songbook made famous by the likes of Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jnr, Bobby Darin and Dean Martin. Each tune has been specially arranged by A. J. Strong so none of the swinging nature of the original version has been lost, and so you don’t have to hire a full big band to get that classic sound!

The Biggish Band is available for hire for any occasion, but it is particularly suited to larger events and for is great for dancing. Typical events include: - wedding receptions, private parties, corporate events, university and charity balls, corporate product launches, and jazz festivals to name just a few.
