Welcome to theBigBand.co.uk

The University of Warwick Big Band is an international Big Band with a varied repertoire. We play various types of music, including swing, jazz, latin, funk and blues. Our credits include the prestigious Montreux Jazz Festival, Montreal Jazz Festival and Alma Jazz Volvo Music Festival, where we were recently presented with the "Best Big Band" award.

As frequent performers at international jazz festivals and Warwick Arts Centre, the band strives for professional music quality while maintaining a friendly and warm atmosphere. Our success is reflected in our repeat patronage and multiple awards at the UK National Concert Band Festival and international jazz events.

We perform to a wide audience, from private functions and University balls to international jazz festivals and our own highly popular concerts. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any queries.
