DENMARK STREET BIG BAND

BACK TO LISTING

Paul Burch, Musical Director and Band Leader, has put together a big band that creates the same kind of energy, excitement and style of the greatest big band of the past era. Paul has hand picked musicians with impeccable reputations & experience. He called upon musicians & friends who had played together from his time playing with The Coldstream Guards and playing with bands on-board luxury cruise liners.
The band members have performed with some of the biggest names in the music business & have played in many West End Musicals. After assembling the musicians & taking it name from the London street that has been the heart of British music scene, The Denmark Street Big Band was born.

The Denmark Street Big Band performs a fantastic tribute to Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr plus the other great crooners of the 50s' and 60s' that features the incredible vocals of our guest singers.
Using the authentic arrangements of Nelson Riddle, Billy May and Quincy Jones, the band will transport you back to the showrooms of Las Vegas and perfectly capture the wonderful music, sounds and style of this fantastic era of entertainment.
If you would like to book the band to perform our Rat Pack show for your event or wedding please get in touch and we will be happy to discuss your requirements.
