Kick off the festive season in style with the sensational Down for the Count Swing Orchestra, as they head to Ipswich for their much-loved annual show, Swing Into Christmas!
This is a Christmas celebration like no other – the unique 32-piece big band with strings recreates the music of Nat ‘King’ Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday and many more in their own inimitable style.
Fast becoming a Christmas tradition in Ipswich, Swing Into Christmas features joyful recreations of classic tunes from the swing era. You’ll enjoy recreations of classics including The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting), New York, New York, I’ve Got You Under My Skin, Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas and The Most Wonderful Time of the Year performed in authentic big-band-with-strings style, along with many fantastic new song selections for the 2025 show.
The Down for the Count Swing Orchestra are one of the UK's most highly regarded vintage ensembles, having sold out numerous shows at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club, The London Jazz Festival, Cadogan Hall and more.
It may be cold outside, but a night with the Down for the Count Swing Orchestra is guaranteed to leave you in the warm glow of the holiday spirit.
