Bemsha Swing draw on many genres of music, reinterpreting all of them in a gypsy jazz style. Fronted by a virtuoso guitarist, backed up by a dynamic rhythm section of double bass and acoustic guitar, they can provide vintage background music or a centrepiece performance for any event.

They were a perfect accompaniment to our wedding cocktail hour and meal! Elesha, Wedding at Stanhill Court Hotel, Charlwood

“They were great!”

Tracy, Corporate Event at Victoria Embankment in London, June 2018

“The booking of the band was really simple and efficient, with great communication. The courtesy call was great as it gave me a chance to speak to the band guys and make sure things were up to scratch a few days before the event. They were professional and knew what they were doing. I was really pleased with the choice of music, and we received some really positive feedback!”

Nadia, Corporate Event at The Dorchester in London, November 2017

“We booked Bemsha Swing very last minute and we were so lucky to find such an amazing band. The musicians were professional and mature and were happy to work around our needs and the weather changes! Function Central had such a great choice of musicians for all types of events and the videos gave a useful and needed backup to the text. FC even contacted me out of office hours to help me out as my booking was such late notice. We had great feedback from all of our guests and I would not hesitate to book the band again, they were a perfect accompaniment to our wedding cocktail hour and meal. Thank you so much!!”
