SWINGTHING
"SWINGTHING" which is run by Solway Music, is a 4/5 piece jazz/swing band which is available for weddings, celebrations, functions and corporate events. The band specialises in jazz and swing music in the "rat pack" style but is equally
at ease performing in a variety of genres. To
underline this versatility, Swingthing recently had the pleasure of performing for Camilla Dallerup and Ian Waite in a ballroom dancing weekend held at the Lodore Falls hotel on the shore of Lake Derwentwater near Keswick.
A prominent feature of "Swingthing" is the fabulous voice of Ronnie Walker who styles himself on Frank Sinatra. Ronnie has been on the circuit for many years and has performed in venues all over the country. He is not limited to one particular style , however, and is perfectly at home with rock n roll and other dance music.
He is ably accompanied by Brian Melville -keys.
Brian has been a musician for many years and has performed in a variety of venues in the UK and Europe. His first love is jazz music but is not averse to playing any type of music when the occasion arises. Favourite bands include Chick Corea Electrik Band, The Yellowjackets, Dave Weckl Band and Dave Brubeck Quartet. Brian is currently playing a Roland FP3 electric piano and a Korg M1 synthesizer
Laurence Blackadder - bass. Laurence is a relative newcomer on the scene but has made rapid progress on his 150 year old French bass.
He also plays 6 string electric bass which gives him access to a wide range of genres. He is currently receiving lessons from Zoltan Dekany and formerly from Iain Crawford of the Scottish Symphony.
Dave Thompson - drums. Dave is a highly experienced percussionist who has played
professionallly in Europe and the Middle East. Having learned his trade in Birmingham he moved north where he now resides.
Swingthing are also able to perform in a variety of formats. Brian Melville is already an accomplished lounge pianist and performs regularly in local hotels but he is equally at home performing in a duo with any member of the band.
Similarly, performing as a trio, Swingthing have a wide ranging repertoire of jazz and have available Jonathan Melville on saxophones as and when requested .
The band is not limited to any particular style. To further expand and underline
the appeal of Swingthing, the band has available two girl singers who perform with the band in completely different styles. Caroline Sweeney, who has performed at a number of venues, is very much in the Billy Holiday
and Madeline Peyroux mold. Joanne Rudd,
"Jo Jo", is in a very different style and specialises in music by Norah Jones and Katie Melua.
Joanne is going to be an integral part of the set up.
Is there a wedding on the horizon?Swingthing are well suited to perform on your special day and offer not only a wealth of experience but that authentic "live band" which is increasingly in demand.
Swingthing can offer you a complete package for your day. Something you can forget about and be confident you have booked a professionally organised event.
As your guests arrive for the ceremony, have an experienced lounge pianist or duo setting the tone for the occasion. Traditional wedding marches performed for the entry of the bride and the exit of the bride and groom. As the register is being signed, more background music to
entertain your guests which can continue while guests relax during the "photo shoot". There is a further option of background music during the wedding breakfast.
Then allow Swingthing to take over the evening and ensure that everything goes with a "swing". Swingthing will provide music for a variety of tastes and can also supply a session of (recorded) disco music to suit guests of a younger disposition.
Have your favourite tune played as the bride and groom take the floor (please confirm this by pr-arrangement).
If you would like a promo pack and CD please don't hesitate to get in touch by phone, e-mail, web site os pigeon (if you have one!)

San Diego Video Production 'A Home for the Holidays'
(ContentDesk) November 14, 2005 -- The holiday season means many different things but to a group of San Diego children its a reminder of what theyve never had; a family. The seventh annual CBS special A Home for the Holidays features top Hollywood stars and musicians mixed with adoption stories.The show includes interviews and footage with children of all ages who are waiting to be adopted. This San Diego video production was a mini-movie set involving multiple cameras and a crew of twenty. Kurt Snider and Solana Productions coordinated and shot the segments. Taping in a city park proved to be a challenge.
One neighbor continually complained about the noise from a generator. And then towards the end of the shoot it mysteriously malfunctioned. But a quick thinking gaffer saved the day by running extension cords to more agreeable neighbors homes.Children ranged in age from 5 to 15. Their stories were varied but had one thing in common; the desire to leave group homes and foster...
