Music that is so infectious that you will have a job sitting still in your seats. From the beginning to the end of the concert the audience will be glad they came to this show. The Jive Aces have performed in over 25 different countries and with a host of international celebrites including Isaac Hayes (soul man) Tony Christie Rolf Harris Lionel Blair Kenny Ball Tom Cruise Bobby Davro and appeared often at Ronnie Scotts, the Pizza Express On the Frank Skinner Show and at several international jazz festivals. Their music is jump jive in the style of Louis Prima ... but they are not copyists .. this is the real thing. Here's what some critics have written "Easily one of the best hot, young swing bands from Europe that's taking America by storm" "the band play together with precision and feeling. Indeed the Jive Aces are one of the most popular bands on the modern jive circuit" Here's the line up Ian Clarkson Lead vocals and trumpet. Great showman inspired by Louis Prima Frank Sinatra & Dean Martin Vince Hurley On keyboards, Vince has the sobriquet "The Professor" earned from his honours degree in music from the London College of music. Think Jerry Lee Lewis on steroids. John Fordham "Big" John, a Maori from Auckland New Zealand, plays tenor & baritone saxes & clarinet in a style reminiscent of Earl Bostic Peter Howel On drums Pete was inspired by the sounds of Basie and Ellington and is a driving force for this non stop exhilarating band Ken Smith Ken is an enthusiastic, acrobatic, left handed bassist who was also a great dancer who won London's Swing Dance Champion for three years running from 1983 Alex Douglas On trombone Alex duels with the horn section and is quite a showman So there you have it ..
