Eighteen musicians give Hint of Swing the scale and presence of a true big band from the moment guests see them. The Gold Coast ensemble draws from jazz standards, swing, Latin music, blues and the American Songbook, evoking an earlier age of music and dance. Male or female vocal arrangements can be requested, letting you decide how voices sit within that large instrumental sound. Musical director Ivan Cocking previously served as a military band master and music director, and has played for artists including Roy Orbison and Eartha Kitt. A handsome match for a wedding that wants the sweep of a golden age ballroom.
Watch Hint of Swing perform and get a feel for their sound, style and fit for your wedding.

Eighteen musicians on one stage sounds like nothing else, and that's the whole point of booking Hint Of Swing. Jazz standards, Latin numbers, American Songbook material, swing and blues, played by people who have been doing it for decades. Male or female vocal arrangements are available if you want a singer out front. It's a big, warm wall of sound, and guests who have only heard a big band on a recording tend to be a bit stunned by it live.
The band works with whatever the venue already has. If there is a house sound system, they will run through it. If there is not, they bring their own. Either way it is handled at their end, so this is one job you can take off your list.
Bookings get put together around the function rather than sold off a fixed list, so tell them the event, the room and the date. Public and private work are both taken, with travel from Brisbane, along the coast and down to Byron Bay. Adding a singer out front is optional, and there are male or female vocal arrangements to choose between.
