Swing Soulstice: The Big Band Takeover
New Solstice just dropped: Thursday 27th April 2023 - The Swing Soulstice.
How are we celebrating? The UoB Big Band Society are taking over the Anson Rooms
Featuring performances from three iconic Bristol bands, the JFS house band, Bristol University Jazz Orchestra, and The Bristol Hornstars, the evening promises to be a celebration of all things jazzy, funky, and cool! Between the sellout gig at the Bristol Beacon to performances at Old Market Assembly and Exeter University, the bands have gone from strength to strength over the course of the year. Swing Soulstice is the final event where all three bands are playing and will be the best show yet!
Under the baton of Ellis Howell, The Bristol Hornstars are a legendary big band featuring the best of the best when it comes to jazz musicians, with two unmissable vocalists and a full horn section filled to the brim with superbly talented improvisers.
The Bristol University Jazz Orchestra continues to explode in size and sound each year, with a dynamic setlist that is guaranteed to get you grooving. With three vocalists and more than 30 horn players, this is going to be an incredible, huge, performance.
And would a night of Bristol jazz really be complete without Jazz Funk & Soul society? The JFS house band will be playing, serving up the freshest mix of musicians straight out of Mr Wolf’s, guaranteed to knock the jazz off your socks (!?).
It’s going to be an unforgettable night of live music and is predicted to sell out quick… we’ll see you on the dance floor.
