The Jumping Jive Five

The Jumping Jive Five are the all singing, all swinging heart of the party, getting everyone on the dance floor to Lindy hop, Jive and boogie the night away.

With stunning three-part harmonies, scorching horns lines and a rip-roaring rhythm section, The Jumping Jive Five not only hark back to the Golden Age of Swing with music from the likes of Benny Goodman, Louis Prima and Louis Jordan (to name but a few) but also manage to modernise their repertoire playing the occasional top 10 in a vintage swing style.

Featuring the finest musicianship from some of the country's best young jazz musicians, The Jumping Jive Five are a sure fire hit with everyone from those pesky kids of today, to the good old fashioned old timers!

Definitely a force to be reckoned with the The Jumping Jive Five members have collectively played for and supported such artists as Gary Moore, Taio Cruz, Pendulum, damage and The Streets, played prolific venues such as the 02 arena and Ronnie Scott's, worked in the studio for labels such as Warner brothers and Mercury Records and performed as session musicians on TV shows including the X-factor.

With their professional attitude and vast experience The Jumping Jive Five will not disappoint and have a big swinging future ahead of them.

Booking The Jumping Jive Five for our event took our evening from good to great. Our attendees absolutely loved the entertainment and the guys in the band were a joy to work with. I would highly recommend The Jumping Jive Five to any event organiser looking for top class entertainment from a very fun and very talented band. Rich Crosby CCK

“literally had the time of my life and that is hugely influenced by you guys putting on such a great show. Every single person has been raving about how good it was and I don't think I've ever seen /will ever see a first dance as mad as that one! The whole place was jumping from start to finish. Huge amounts of fun that got everybody in the place swinging!! “ Stuart and Martha wedding client.

“Thank you so much for performing at our wedding.
You were so helpful during the booking process and such a breeze to work with (always important during manic wedding preparations!)
You all looked so very dapper, set the scene perfectly and every song you played was met by cheers from our guests.
The dance floor was filled from the word go and the way you interacted with the guests was just super and such a personable touch.
We have had so many wonderful comments from friends and family, who marvelled at your incredible musicianship. We cannot thank you enough.
