There’s nothing like swing music to get a place jumping and that’s just what Les Wilson and his popular Swing Force Band will be doing at the Coolangatta and Tweed Heads Golf Club.
Les and the band will be bringing the best of the genre to the Tweed with their “Salute the Legends of Swing” show to the club on July 17 from 1.30pm.
The show features the music of swing superstars Frank Sinatra, Glenn Miller, Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Count Basie, Peggy Lee and Bobby Darin.
And if you’re too young to remember the songs the first time around, then don’t worry, these are the popular classics being revived by contemporary crooners Michael Bublé and Harry Connick Jr.
Formed by Les in 1996, the Swing Force Big Band is a thirteen-piece group. It includes trumpets, trombones, saxophones, piano, bass and drums, plus outstanding vocalists – father and daughter duo, Greg and Katey Aspeling.
