Hailing from Leeds, The Big Easy have built a reputation as one of the UK's most exciting modern swing bands, performing at festivals, jazz clubs and major venues across the country. Their energetic performances have taken them to venues including Ronnie Scott's, where their blend of classic swing, New Orleans jazz and jump-jive has delighted audiences and dancers alike.
