Nat King Bing And The Kings Of Schwing

There's a new sound in town.

It's the sound of your favourite indie rock, dance and pop classics played in the Jazz Swing style.
It's the sound of the past mixing with the present to create the future.
It's the sound of Schwing!

Your best-loved songs now sound even better.

Nat King Bing And The Kings Of Schwing take much loved modern anthems like The Killers "Mr Brightside" and The Arctic Monkeys "Bet you Look Good On The Dance Floor "and re arrange them with a unique jazz swing feel. They re-work dance floor classics like Culture Beats "Mr Vain" and Snaps "Rhythm Is A Dancer" to give them a Vegas Lounge Style. They are unlike any other band in the UK.

Nat King Bing and The Kings of Schwing offer you a unique evenings entertainment combining brilliant musicianship with fabulous showmanship.

Equally as happy playing a wedding, corporate event, military party, university ball or bar mitzvah Nat King Bing And The Kings Of Shcwing have just one aim and that's to make your party go with a Swing.

The Kings Of Schwing are four of the UKs finest jazz swing musicians. Professor Strange on Keyboards, Chubby Bottles on double bass, Contenido Caliente on drums and Eggs Benedict on guitar. They are joined up front by a great vocalist and consummate showman , Mr Nat "King" Bing.

In Print

Tony Hadley’s autobiography "To Cut A Long Story Short" " .......were an outstanding five piece pop/rock band. The quality of the songs was impressive and the singer, R B (AKA Nat King Bing) ,had a great voice."

Martin Lillekars Book about the history of music in Sheffield "Beats Working For A Living" Jarvis Cocker from Pulp says "I remember going to parties and if RB (AKA Nat King Bing) was there you could guarantee that around 1 or 2 in the morning there'd be some a capella sing song going on."

"Great to work with you too, thought the bands were great last night."
