Five Star Swing are recognised as one of the most versatile and accomplished Jazz and Swing bands in the U.K. Whether performing for dancing, listening or major theatre productions, you can be sure that your event will go with a swing!
Chris Smith (Band Leader).
Chris’s compositions and arrangements are frequently played by Jazz FM, Capital Radio, B.B.C Radio Big Band and of course Five Star Swing! As a Piano/Trumpet player, Chris has appeared on B.B.C breakfast T.V, Top Of The Pops, Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club and The Royal Variety Show.

Style is added to every performance from an exciting repertoire, featuring songs from Frank Sinatra, Natalie Cole, Glenn Miller and Jazz favourites, through to modern day artistes - Robbie Williams, Jamie Cullum and Jools Holland.
