Hi there!

If anyone out there is interested in joining a Jive band or knows anyone who plays Trombone, Piano or Bass and wants to join, then get in touch with me ASAP

The band is called The Gigolos and recreates the sound of Louis Prima and his band.
For people who dont know who Louis Prima is, remember the Jungle Book and I'm the King of the Swingers. Well the guy who sang that and played the trumpet is Louis Prima, also recently heard on the GAP commercials playing Jump, Jive and Wail.

I have recently been touring with a Jive Band all over Europe and I can honestly say that this music is gaining in popularity, especially with young people. In France, the average age of dancers at all our performances was 22.

In the UK also, there is an increasing market amongst students. This is a great way to keep music alive in this country.

I have had over 20 gigs already this year in the UK and another 35 gigs lined up, but pretty desperate for a Trombone player, and a bass.

Cheers !!!

Tony
