Paul Drakeley Allstar Big Band
Step into a world of timeless glamour as the Paul Drakeley Allstar Big Band brings the Golden Age of swing to life in a dazzling live theatre experience.
Featuring the unforgettable music of Count Basie, Glenn Miller, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Judy Garland and more, this spectacular show celebrates an era when music was bold, elegant, and irresistibly uplifting.
On stage, a full-scale big band made up of some of the UK’s finest musicians and vocalists delivers an authentic, high-energy performance. Expect soaring saxophone sections, punchy brass, a driving rhythm section, and exceptional vocals - all combining to recreate the unmistakable sound and style of a bygone age. Whether you’re a lifelong fan of swing or discovering it for the first time, this is music that gets under your skin and lifts you out of your seat.
Fronted by Paul Drakeley, whose career began at just 15 touring across the UK and Europe, the band brings both pedigree and personality to every performance. Over the years, Paul and his Allstar Big Band have shared the stage with artists including Anita Harris, Kenny Lynch, Max Bygraves and Buddy Greco, and have performed extensively across Europe and on leading cruise lines such as Cunard and Royal Caribbean International.
With a reputation for sell-out shows and standing ovations, this is more than a concert - it’s a night of pure entertainment, nostalgia, and world-class musicianship.
